Thanks, Az. Roxie told him after a moment or two.

If I run into trouble, you know you'll be the one I'll contact. If only just because of the quick and easy aspect. She added before sighing lightly.

Just... thank you Az. And yes, this is important, and a bit big. she added. With that, she fell silent, focusing on getting ther ecording she could.

Sure enough, about twenty minutes later, Az felt the opening to Hell, before her phone fell and landed in his lap.

He looked at the phone that dropped in his lap, before looking to the one that was beside him, Peyton.

"Welp, there's the delivery." he said.

"Looks like I gotta be going." he told her.

"Also, thanks for hangin' out here int he cafeteria with me, even though you didn't have to." he went on.

"You should probably get back to Mira, though." he suggested.

"It IS pretty late."

Peyton paused.

". . . . very true." She agreed.

"she's probably starting to worry about me. I'm usually back by now." She added before looking to her phone, and freezing.

". . . . . yeahhhhhh she's texted and called me, and I didn't get a notice. Oops." She had a sheepish tone to her voice, and on her face as well as she got to her feet.

"I gotta book it. See ya!" With that... she was gone.

"Bye!" Azazel called to her, though he was sure she just barely heard it.

"Heh, she's a speedy one, she is." he chuckled.

He then made his way to Hal, and dropped the phone off.

After a brief bit a conversation, they left, and Hal sighed, grabbing his phone.

Sweetie, I need to talk to you, whenever you read this. he sent to his daughter.

You're not in trouble, but I AM in need of your expertise. he quickly clarified.

"...she'll probably wake me up at home later." he then said, looking at the clock and deciding it was time to go home for the night.

Sure enough, when he got home, he was met with silence before he found a note.

Hey Dad! Not sure when you're getting home, but if you find this, I'm not home, I'm with Cain. We were catching a late dinner and a movie. I'll be back at some point.

Love ya!
-Lunet
her writing was as bad as usual, but at least he coudl read it.

Hal just sighed and shook his head.

Come get me when you get home. he sent her.

Depending on whether they were at dinner or the movie, he would get a response sooner, or later. It also depended on when she left.

He then made his way to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of something to drink, and made his way to the den, collapsing in one of the couches there.

"...so tired." he mumbled.

"But not sleepy." he cursed.

"Oh well." he chuckled, turning on the TV and watching it, wondering if he would fall asleep first, or if Lunet would return home before that.

Lunet returned home about two hours later, having not replied to Hal's texts yet.

"Oh! Hey Dad. I wasn't sure when you were getting home." She said as she kicked off her shoes.

"I brought some pasta home, if you want it?" She asked with a smile.

"It's some of the fettuccine from that one Italian place that Cain loves." She told him honestly.

'Got back about two hours ago." Hal responded, looking towards her.

"And all right." he said.

"By the way, have you gotten a chance to read the texts I've sent you?" he asked.

"I've sent 2 or 3 in the past little bit." he told her.

He was then silent, before sighing quietly, and shaking his head slightly.

He planned to go to bed after this.

"Battery died." Lunet answered after a moment or two as she set the bag with the food in it on the coffee table, before taking a seat.

"What's up?" She asked, her voice curious, and a bit concerned.

"... is there something wrong?" It wasn't often that he was trying to get ahold of her, as it seemed he had been. Her first instinct was always to ask if something was wrong, because she wouldn't quite admit it to anyone, but she was terrified that something would happen while she was unreachable.

"No, nothing's wrong." Hal replied.

"I need your technical expertise." he told her.

He then proceeded to tell her that Roxie was on an undercover mission, and needed modifications to her cell phone. He explained what needed doing, and that it needed doing ASAP.

"Think you can do it?" he asked.

"You're free to use the resources at the Unit if need be." he said.

"But, is this something you think is manageable in the next 24 hours or so?"

Lunet was silent for a moment as she was thinking about it.

"I don't see why noit." She told him honestly.

"Just going to take some creativity I think." She added. "But I'm quite certain I can do it. I've done something similar, andI think I can cut down the time." She continued, thinking about it.

"Can I get a lift back to the Unit, then?" She asked, her voice curious.

"I'm awake, and would rather put some time into this while I'm up."

Hal nodded... before yawning.

"Got it." he said.

He then paused for a moment, before shaking his head.

"I'm going to bed after this, Lunet." he told her.

"Call me when you're finished working on the phone, or if you need anything." he said further.

"And... as usual... you'll appear in my office." he added.

"Love you, sweetie." he finished, before smiling and snapping his fingers... and the next thing Lunet knew, she was in his office.

And then, about 5 seconds later, Roxie's phone appeared on her father's desk, alongside the charging cord, for her own battery-dead phone

Lunet just chuckled lightly.

"You're so reliable." She muttered before shaking her head, grabbing the phone and cord, and heading off to the tech department. Considering the hour, she wouldn't be surprised at all if there was, basically, no one around.

Sure enough, as she walked, she foudn the halls were largely empty, which really did not surprise her.

"Wonder how dead the tech department is..." she muttered as she walked, knowing quite well that those there weren't always keeping 'normal' hours.

Her trek to the tech department went unimpeded and uninterrupted, and it was only a few minutes before she reached the place in question.

When she stepped inside, she found it wasn't empty.

But there WERE 2 people working at computers there.

One turned and looked at her, before waving.

"Greetings." they said.

"There something we can help you with?"

"Not at all. I'm here to do somethin' for Dad." Lunet answered honestly as she navigated to one of the main, and stronger, computers in the room, not even realising that it was possible that due to the hour, those that were working now may not know her. She knew she had access there, but also knew that where she had taken a seat was largely for those that had more of a manager role, or something hiring than the average employee in that department.

She sat down and logged in, before sighing as she hooked up both phones to the console, one for accessing and editing, the other for charging.

"All right... Roxie, let's see what kind of anything you have for your phone." she muttered as she waited for the explorer to load, paying absolutely no heed to the others in the room.

"...h-hey!" the one that had addressed her sai.

"Wait, hold on a second." they said.

"You can't use that computer, that's for higher-ups." they told her.

"And who are you?" they asked.

"...." the other one was silent, before looking at Lunet as well.

"You look... familiar..." they commented.

"Are you new here or something?"

Lunet paused before turning in her chair and looking over to them. She knew that they couldn't see she was blind, they were certainly not close enough, and the visor was slightly tinted.

"If I'm not allowed to use it, then why did I log in?" She asked calmly.

"and new? Not at all. I'm just not usually here, generally at school." She added with a shrug.

"highschools a bitch."

The both of them were extremely confused now.

They did not know how she logged in, didn't know what a highschooler was doing here, HOW she got into the Unit, or anything.

The first one started to panic a little, and before Lunet or the other one could do anything, he pressed a red button that was under his desk, which was essentially a silent alarm to bring security there.

"What-" the second started to ask, but the first one jumped from their seat and ran to the door, blocking it with their body.

"We need to keep her here until security arrives!" he exclaimed.

"...." the other one was silent, before groaning.

"And you're jumpy as always." the second one muttered.

"Who ARE you?" they asked Lunet.

Lunet paused as she saw the digital interference on her visor.

"... Right then." was all she said before turning back to the computer.

"im Lunet." She then said as she started typing.

"but don't worry. I don't know who is working security tonight, but it should be good." She then paused a moment before checking her pockets.

.... Don't have any of my access cards or anything though." She muttered with a sigh.

Before the two of them could say anything, there was a knock on the door.

The jumpier of the two stepped away and let them in.

"What's going on, here?" the guard asked.

But before they could answer, the man looked at Lunet.

"Oh, hey Lunet." he greeted her.

"What are you doing here?" he asked. "You're usually not here this late, let alone in the tech department."
