Buenos Aires is a lot like most big cities. A very recognizable downtown core, but once away from the area it looks like just about every other city. Tall wide buildings next to squat ones. Some new, some old. Apartment buildings the closer to the city the nicer, but as we move farther away they go from steel and concrete to wood and stone.

Tia leads us across rooftops. I’m slung on Kate’s back like a backpack. I’d be pissed about the indignity of it if I wasn’t overly concerned about our safety. We briefly considered making for the rental vehicle but decided against it. If they knew where to hit us, and knew how to shut off Kate’s powers, odds are they would know where the SUV was and ambush us. Even if it meant leaving all of Kate’s offensive weapons behind.

“Over there, you see the red one?” Tia asks. Kate nods. She starts running. I knew she was strong, but I had no idea she could run so fast either. Her feet pound the rooftops in a staccato that would make a jackhammer jealous. She hits the lip and leaps. We sail through the air and I squeeze my eyes shut, terrified of what comes next.

She hits the roof, sliding to a stop in a crush of roofing tiles. I open my eyes and peek back. Fifty feet, easy. Fifty! Tia sails across much slower. Apparently, she can increase her mass and density or decrease it. It only takes her a few seconds to increase it to the point of unbreakable. However, decreasing it seems to take a lot out of her. She floats to a stop, dropping to the roof next to us.

Kate puts me down on an AC duct while we figure out what to do next. From the look of the sun hanging against the horizon, I’d guess it will go down soon. Which will leave us in a pickle.

“Any idea why I can’t teleport?” she asks me. There’s a hopeful look in her eyes, but I seriously have no idea. I shake my head.

“If they were using my tech, none of your powers would work, except for your pheromones.” I’m seriously confused here.

“It’s Rafael, right?” Kate asks. “It’s an awfully big coincidence if it isn’t. We leave his office, someone tries to kill us. Then there’s a city-wide communications blackout followed by my powers mysteriously crapping out,” Kate says.

I nod. “No, it has to be him. Tia?”

“Si?”

“I hate to sound like a typical American, but believe me when I say I would ask this question of any police officer in any country if we were in the same boat … but… can you trust your people?”

She sighs. “I would really love to say we are just and true and every officer follows the oath of their badge, but I cannot. I also can’t tell you which ones we could trust and which ones we couldn’t. It wasn’t long ago that hundreds of officers were fired or jailed for corruption.
