Darren Cross made a note to tag one of her friends with a homing beacon. He obviously couldn't do it himself since he was famous, or trying to be, and Andrea already knew his face. 'Still though...it would take a small amount of planning...and they did say they would be at the Aquarium. Hm...' He thought to himself before finishing his cup of coffee and paying for the bill.

( timeskip to aquarium and Darren Cross hiring a person to tail them?)

(sure)

" Here we are. Looks like there is a good crowd. " Andrea said.

Tyler Matthis had gotten a call while he was getting out of his car. He was one who liked the type of jobs that would give him the best payout for his skill set and was pleased it was his best client Dr.Cross. " Got your message. Tell me the job and I'll do it. " He said when he returned the call.

"There are three females and one male in a four man group," Darren started before giving Tyler details about each of them as well as Andrea's name. "On one of those four, I want you to put a tracker on them, and I know I shouldn't have to say this but I want to be perfectly clear; they cannot be able to locate the chip for whatever purpose. The four of them are way too good with the usual spots." Darren stated.

" I know just know how to place it. I take it that this group are of a certain skill set that is more highly trained than the average Federal agent? " Matthis asked and would place it on the man of the group. " I promise you'll have information in less than an hour. "

"Thanks. Now then, how much is this one going to cost me?" he asked.

" No less than 15,000 dollars wired to my offshore account. Don't be surprised I didn't ask for more. If these are SHIELD agents it will be difficult. Though, I'm hoping they aren't. " Matthis said.

"You know how I operate. I'll wire the first half of the agreed money to your offshore account and the other half once you call me to confirm it," Darren replied. He knew that Mathis knew this was how he operated and wouldn't change it for anyone.

" I understand. I'll make sure to use the nanolocator you gave me. That way they won't know they were being tracked until too late. And I promise to be quick. " Matthis said and set his gps to where he was to find his next target.

"You might get a bonus, depending on how quick," he responded before ending the call pleasantly. Now all he had to do was wait...

" It will be quick. " Matthis said as he pulled into the side street closest to the aquarium. He knew this part of town really well and hurried to the main entrance.

"Here we are!"Andrea said excitedly. She felt at ease here and was happy.

Leanna laughed lightly, especially since she had never seen her girlfriend as happy as this.

Matthis followed the four into the group and accidently bumped in the man. " So sorry sir. I was supposed to meet my cousin here 10 minutes ago and she isn't patient. " He said and knew this was a good excuse.

"No problem, just be careful where you're heading next time," Grant replied. He knew what it was like to have relatives like that...

" I will. Have a good time. " Matthis said and hurried through the aquarium to the men's restroom. " It's done. "He sent and immediately cleared his phone before heading out the back door. No one was going to pin this on him if it turned out Ms. Carpenter was a SHIELD agent. Hopefully by the time Dr. Cross had her , he would be on a flight to the Marshall Islands under one of his aliases and connecting with one of his Chinese contacts about information on Darren Cross. Though he had heard The Dark Lady was operating deeper underground than normal.

"That was strange. "'Andrea whispered after the man hurried by.

(Dark Lady?)

"Agreed. Grant, are you alright?" Leanna asked.

( Dark Lady is Anne Carpenter ( Andrea and Skye's mom in our marvel universe. )
" I'm fine. " Grant said not knowing that a nano bot had attached itself to his shirt.

" That's good." Skye said and was a bit concerned about that guy.

(Thanks for reminding me, it has been a while after all)

"If no one is hurt, I don't think we should worry about it," Andrea replied.

Darren received a text message alert on his phone. Opening it up, he smirked and saw that it was from Matthis, saying that his job was complete. And since he was a man of his word, he put the remaining money into the man's offshore account.

Matthis was pleased and drove back to his apartment. All he needed to do now was charter a flight and finish packing only the things he couldn't replace.

" I agree. Now let's go see some fish. " Grant said.

"Good idea," Skye and the others replied before heading inside.

Andrea was having a good time and gave Leanna a smile. " Having fun?" She asked as they watched some sea turtles.

"I am," Leanna admitted with a light smile.

" I'm glad. " Andrea said with a smirk.

"And what's that smirk for missy?" Leanna asked.
