Chapter 474 - Kyle (III) (1/2)

Kyle slowed down his jog, walking leisurely along the corridors.

He made a show of looking everywhere diligently, opening doors of the manager's rooms and shining his flashlight into it without entering.

His mind was busy comparing what he was looking at while noting in his mind the minute changes the rooms had. It wasn't that he was looking for anything specifically, but merely honing and training himself.

And planting bugs, of course.

Rex Industries had its own internal server, which made it hard for Team Zero to crack through without a proper backdoor. For now, all the hacking and infiltration was being done by Team Zero so as to allow Kay to focus on her studies.

Kyle didn't want her life to be too mixed up with his old life, so he intended to keep her out of this issue in these two years. The foundation had to be built up and then, together, they can deal with the issue as it came.

In truth, the fight with Patrick had given him this golden opportunity and he was grateful for it. He wasn't really angry at him anymore but neither was he going to back down and go back.

A smirk formed on Kyle's face as the thought of the frustration Patrick must be under in his failure to locate him. It became a game to him now, and he was enjoying it to the fullest. Pitting his mind against his father.

He had to admire Patrick's tenacity and vigilance, in trying to track him down. Trying to intimidate Sam, following them all of the Elite Five around and so forth. There was absolutely no guilt on Kyle's part about him keeping away from Patrick, for it wasn't like he was not keeping in touch.

The 'snail mail' method had been a change from what he originally promised his mother. Emails would just too troublesome to keep masking, so physical letters were what worked better. All he did was place his mail to his mother in one envelope, then placed that in another envelope to mail to one MIB agent.

The address to Country Tz was a P.O. Box address that he had rented on a long term basis, fully paid in cash for three years. So even if Patrick knew it had been him to rented it, there was no way for him to be traced.

After all, the address Kyle put was the Smith Residence.

Kyle jogged the entire length time of the surveillance, which took him about 45 minutes. By the time he reached back down, he found Dan waiting for him.

”Yes, Sir?” Kyle approached him politely.

Dan observed the young man in front of him seriously. Despite that vigorous exercise, he was not out of breath.

”Rex,” Dan said, ”You've been doing a fantastic job and I've decided you will be shifted to another division.”

”Sir?” Kyle looked puzzled. It sounded like a promotion of some sorts but what was this about another division? Also, would that affect his ability to spy on the place?

”But Sir, wouldn't that make others unhappy? I've not even been here for a year yet.”

Dan waved his hand in front of him, ”Of course they would be unhappy. That's even better. You've been spoiling them too much anyway. They are all getting fat.”

Kyle laughed softly at that, understanding.

”And you don't have to worry,” Dan assured him, ”It's still the night shift. I know you are studying still, so that won't affect you at all.”
