Alex gave unconscious man a good look. So, one of the big 6 was finally taken down and by them, no less. That was a feat worth of praise considering how difficult it is to handle Jim. He just keeps slipping away no matter how hard authorities try to put him behind the bars. He caused a lot of trouble with pouring his resources into creation of these... aberrations. He could not have done all that by himself- he must have had aid from another source. Perhaps another one of the big 6.
"Yeah, I guess we should get going." Alex said his index finger pointing at Jim. "You stay right there." Thick ice began to form on Jim's arms and legs until they were completely covered rendering him immobile. The icy spell he cast on him is able to withstand attacks and resistances so he would not be able to move on his own. Moreover, ice on his legs was stuck on the floor in case anyone decided to be a smart-ass and try to carry him away before police arrives.
Alex turned away from the unconscious criminal and went after Daniel. "Was this your idea of 'easy in-easy out', brother? And what do you think you're doing with that? That's evidence- put it back." Alex said.

"I prefer to call it 'bonus loot drop'." Daniel sneered at Alex and then presented the file to Alex pointing out the logo. "It's Azure Rosemarie- we haven't seen or heard from those bastards in so long, have we?" He said as he continued to read the file.
Lougel was sitting calmly on Daniel's left shoulder reading the document as well. "Azure Rosemarie- they attempted to abduct Lydia and Alex nine years ago, correct?" Lougel asked curiously. "Bingo. Though big bro got all brave and gave them a Kamehameha right in the face." Daniel confirmed. Azure Rosemarie have been causing a lot of trouble in the past, but issues in management and organization caused the government to quickly get on their tracks and arrest most of them. It was a mild surprise they were still active.
"It was one of Zenovia's primary missions back in the day. I'm sure she and my client will appreciate the 'reward'." Daniel said with a carefree tone. "I call dibs on the documents, you can take the USB."

"Dibs? So I am supposed to take it to Maria and... you'll take the documents to your... butterfly people." Alex assumed. "How are we supposed to understand any of it if you give 50% info to one faction and 50% to the other one?" He questioned. Alex did not know much about Daniel's clients, but he was certain this was going to be pointless if different pieces of the puzzle were given to different factions. Though, Daniel's job could be described as that of a mercenary- he cares for the reward his client will give him. If giving a single piece of the item to Alex will not impact the reward and relationship with the client then this could be considered his good will towards Alex. Yet... who knows- Daniel has never been much of a guy who made sense. One moment he is deep in thought and logical and other moment he speaks as if he bought his brain in a Walmart.
"At least let me make a copy." He requested.

"Ah- haha, copy. Silly me- how quickly I forgot we have technology. Good idea." Daniel laughed with an awkward expression on his face. That idea did not occur to him. There was no harm in doing it either- doubtful that his client would care if this information is to be shared with Maria Zenovia knowing her position. Not that they have to find out anyways. Azure Rosemarie did pose a threat to their families so gaining insight in their plans and movement would be of major advantage. "But man- I'm beat. Morning is closing in." Daniel said with a long yawn.
He then looked at the documents and just handed them to Alex along with the USB. "Tell ya what. I'm not gonna be looking around for a copy machine at this hour. Just make a copy tomorrow yourself and leave the original in your apartment. I'll come and pick it up later. Just don't steal it- I know where you live." Daniel said in carefree tone with obvious tiredness in his voice.

"Okay?" Alex responded slowly grabbing the USB and documents. He opened up one of the files and started flipping through the pages. Having figured he would not accomplish much from trying to understand all the terminology without Maria's aid, especially in this dark environment, he closed the file. "Alright, I'll do it. I'll tell Maria you said..." As he turned in Daniel's direction there was no one to be found over there. "...'hi'."
Police was close- sirens could be heard in the near. Judging by the amount of noise there were over dozens of vehicles. No wonder- Glacies represent criminals with some of the highest threat levels to the country. Even though their numbers are estimated to be barely a hundred. What are their motives and goals? Why have former world champions joined these criminals? Those answers are yet to be found. "They're here. It should be safe to leave it to them." Alex said to Azrael who was sitting on Alex's shoulder in the orb form. "Agreed. You should not stay up for any longer. Let's go back home." Azrael said.
"Yeah- we'll figure out something tomorrow." Alex agreed. With his mission finished Alex headed back to his apartment and went to bed immediately.
Members of the Glacies were arrested and Jim, obviously, could not make an escape this time. Warehouse was occupied and everything in there was confiscated. Most of the things inside were burned to a crisp by Saurus and probably could not be used for investigation. Daniel and Alex grabbed some evidence- it is a punishable deed, but it would have been burned as well and, plus, not like these investigators would do any better job than Daniel's and Maria's contacts. In the end, everyone is working towards their own best interests. The mission was complete and their 'night shift' was over. Until then...
