Nova nodded with a look of mild concern. [color=7bcdc8]"That sure as hell wasn't a normal high, that much is obvious. However, it's still unclear whether Flashbang was told about the crystals or if he simply knew about them because he was employed there. It's very possible that he heard about them from work and decided to do a little research on the dark web. After finding out what they were rumored to do, he used all that information as a way to get revenge on the bank for firing him in the first place. That's my analysis of the situation anyway..."[/color] Sipping her coffee thoughtfully, she listened to the tv making noise in the background as Alexis flipped from channel to channel. [color=7bcdc8]"Have you ever heard of the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon? It's the name given to the sensation that once you've learned about something you start seeing it everywhere. I get the feeling that's what Flashbang is to us, the spark for our brains to start noticing an object or activity that's most likely been going on around us for a while already."[/color]

Nova's mind had begun to drift to battle plans, working through possible scenarios for when she and Alexis decided to move in after the thugs. It was in those moments that Alexis drew her attention to the television where some crazy battle was taking place... The kind a hero would normally take care of. [color=7bcdc8]"And so it begins."[/color] She breathed with irritation. [color=7bcdc8]"Like you said before, these guys might be the key to finding out where these crystals are coming from. I doubt I'd be much help in that kind of situation but they might need someone with your skills. I'll give my brother a call and continue tailing the thugs, you can meet up with me and the guy from the bar when you finish mopping up that horrendous mess."[/color] Nova chuckled as she waved her phone for emphasis. [color=7bcdc8]"Besides, there's a few things I want to look into off the books, not something easily done when surrounded by agents at an active crime scene. Know what I mean?"[/color] She shrugged with an apologetic grin before draining the mug of the rest of her coffee. [color=7bcdc8]"Coffee was delicious by the way, thank you very much."[/color]
