The speech was about the same as they'd heard in the recordings. About how they'd trusted the government and the companies when they'd taken the risk of coming here. Bringing their families and making a home . . . Then they were betrayed . . .

Pixy grinned and shoved into the crowd.

Ra'd followed, trusting the man to have spotted an agitator. And yes, there the man was. At this point just occasionally yelling "Yeah!" Just getting the people around him to nod, to start following as they were led down the emotional path and away from thought.

Pixy bumped him, not even looking at him, frowning over the crowd at the speaker. "He's going to get people killed."

The Agitator glared. Shifted away from him. Ra'd stuck his foot out and got it stepped on.

"Hey! Watch where you're going, jerk."

The pissed-off agitator shrugged and muttered something that might have been an apology.

"What did you just call me?" Ra'd loomed at him. Since the agitator was also a Oner and a few cems taller it only worked to make his temper snap.

The fool punched him. Ra'd blocked and popped him in the jaw at the same time he tapped him with a weak mental spell. Sleep. The man's eyes glazed as he sagged.

Ra'd grabbed his arm. "Oh, One bloody hell. C'mon, let's haul you out of the crowd so you don't get trampled."

Those nearby shrugged off the encounter and let them steer the woozy agitator through the crowd. Past the little medic station and into the waiting paddy car.

:: Shall we go get another one? ::

They got six, before the other agitators caught on and started moving away. The team fanned out, leapfrogging to keep an eye on the agitators without being spotted themselves.

Ra'd eyed the black van. He walked around to the driver's side, and leaned on the hood. "You know, this looks just like all the stereotyped surveillance vans in the movies. Weird. You'd think, in real life people would put a bit more imagination into it, wouldn't you?"

The driver muttered something as he checked his mirrors before he got out. The side doors slid, and two more people climbed out.

"So . . . who are you lot working for?" Ra'd started smiling as they started looming. "I'm a Directorate Agent, and I'd like to see some ID."

"Oh? And you think we're just going to hand it over?" The speaker glanced over his shoulder as the remaining seven agitators trotted up. Turned back to Ra'd and punched him.

Ra'd saw it coming and stepped back enough to remove most of the force, while still insuring that the punch landed. "Naughty. Now you are under arrest . . . "

"Get him!"

They all piled in, interfering with each other. Then Evil started taking them out from the back, Weirdo hit them from the side . . .

Well, it was a bit of exercise.

The speaker from the riot bolted around the corner. "What the hell do you mean we're blown?" He nearly skidded as he took in the situation and started backpedaling .
