Gematria
Gematria continued snooping through the laptop, finding little incriminating evidence. It seemed the little computer wasn't the gold mine she was expecting. But before she could decide on another course of action, she picked up a voice through the laptop's inbuilt microphone. It was a man's, that much was certain. Based on the where she was, though, and the few context clue words she got, the man was Peterson. The very man they were investigating. Fortunately, he didn't take much interest in her G.E.M. figure on his desk. There was another voice, too, which she recognized as Rupa. While Gematria wasn't sure what Rupa was doing here, she decided it was time to stop being in the laptop. There wasn't anything she needed in there anyway.
Returning to her G.E.M. figure, Gematria saw that Peterson had indeed returned to his office with Rupa in tow, and he was currently on the landline phone. His cell phone, however, was on the desk right next to her. An idea immediately formed in her mind, and she got to work. Pushing herself up, she looked at Rupa and held a finger to where her mouth would be, signaling to keep silent, then plugged herself into Peterson's cell phone. Then she Eletrosurfed into his phone and began snooping through it. Unfortunately, there was little that wasn't already known to HERO. There were a few investments to some company called "Michaels & Co. Contracting Corp", but that wasn't anything incriminating either. Peterson's landline phone call itself also had little value. Disappointed, Gematria returned to her G.E.M. figure and did her best to reposition herself back to how she originally looked on Peterson's desk.
And not a moment too soon, as Peterson concluded his call and began talking to Rupa about the film industry and whatnot. Gematria didn't really get much of the conversation, but she could tell he was passionate about it. Just as Gematria was beginning to believe this mission was a fruitless endeavor, Peterson suddenly began acting crazy. Gone was the jovial demeanor, replaced with all the hissing and twitching. It was like he was possessed or something, which he probably was. Gematria briefly wondered how that was even possible, but quickly shoved that train of thought aside when he pulled a gun onto Rupa.
"No!" Gematria exclaimed as she blasted herself towards "Peterson", boosted by the impact boosters in her legs, and extended her arms towards him. One hand was quickly replaced with a new addition to her arsenal: a thick, short, pointed taser head that zapped and crackled with electricity, meant to tase the man should she reach him in time.
