"What are you on about?" shouted the cop. "They're here to help!"

"You're relieved," said the man in black, still aiming his gun at Grant's head. "MI-5 has assumed jurisdiction over this situation. Stand down immediately."

"What's the meaning of this?" Grant said.

At the simple movement of his mouth, the gunmen became twitchy, tightening their gun grips and shifting their body weight to better stances.

"We have our orders, sir," called out the man up front. "You are denied access to the barrier by Her Majesty's government, and you are ordered to come with us at any cost!"

Grant made a quick mental calculation.

"Down, NOW!" he shouted. All eight members of his team immediately dropped to the ground as an ear-splitting crack like a thunderclap was heard and a visible wave of energy exploded from Grant, rippling outward in a perfect circle and demolishing everything in its path.

Grant's team clung hard to the earth to avoid being tossed aside by the wave, but the MI-5 agents and their vehicles were not so lucky. The wave flung the cars up into the air and far out across the river as if they were shreds of paper blown by fierce wind. The policemen followed suit, some crashing into the cement fence that stood between the road and the river, others flying up high and soaring until they landed in the river itself.

A handful of trees, street signs, and riverside benches had been swept away by the blast as well. Nothing stood for a one-hundredmeter radius around Grant, save for himself. Everything else had been flattened or blown away.

Grant was careful not to release enough energy that it would touch the pedestrians, so the wave of energy he created dissipated before it ever reached them. It was a short-wave, but incredibly powerful blast.

Only a handful of people had ever witnessed Grant's utilization of this secondary ability he'd discovered not long before his final showdown with his grandfather. No one who was here now had ever seen it before, including Grant's entire team, who still clung to the ground, and they joined in the hush that fell over the crowd at this terrifying display of raw power.

"Come on, come on!" he shouted at them. "We have to go before more of them arrive!"

The group split up and melted into the crowd. Grant had the hardest time of this, of course, though anyone who saw him made sure to give him a wide berth. The team reunited back at the van an hour later.

"Well, any element of surprise or subterfuge we might have had on our side is long gone now," he remarked, revving the engine and driving south.

"Ya think?" said Lisa.

He glared at her from the rearview mirror.

Alex, voice still trembling, managed to change the topic. "The sun is already getting low, so we'd be lucky to make it around the barrier before nightfall. Even if we did manage it, we've got no guarantee that it would be any easier getting inside from there. If we're going to do this, it's got to be somewhere around here.
