The Mercenary for hire (5)
A few hours later.
"Ben. What are you planning? What did you say to Phil?" Max asked Ben as they drives towards a hotel.
"It's simple. I only give him information about stink fly and wild mutt. I excluded information about the other aliens saying that I only have access to two aliens since I got the Omnitrix not too long ago. After all, if I don't give him something he might not be able to trust me." Ben said.
"Then I also told him how I needed 24 hours to recharge the Omnitrix before I could transform again. And because he knows we are leaving in the morning if he was truly after the Omnitrix he might try to attack us during the night." Ben said to Max.
"Doofus. I think you might be underestimating him too much. He used to be a Plumber remember." Gwen said to Ben.
"I just have to hope that he will trust the information that I gave him. The fact that he doesn't know what kinds of aliens the Omnitrix possess will always give me an advantage." Ben said to Gwen.
"Ben, if he ended up coming after you to the hotel. I think you should avoid using aliens like Diamond Head, heat blast and Fourarms who already appeared on the news. There is a chance that Phil might be suspicious about the aliens that the Omnitrix contains." Max said to Ben.
Ben nodded. As he checks the Omnitrix to look at the aliens he has.
"I think this one would be a nice pick," Ben said as he shows the silhouette of an alien that doesn't possess a leg.
"Do you even know what that guy does? I have never seen you use that guy." Gwen asked Ben.
"I have tried all the aliens that are in the Omnitrix. Apart from the small frog, I have a rough idea of how every one of them works." Ben said to Gwen.

At the hotel.
"'Did you wait long?" Max said as he saw Phil who was waiting for them at the counter of the hotel.
"No. I have only arrived just a few minutes ago. But I have already booked two rooms. One two-bedroom for you and Ben and a single-bedroom for Gwen." Phil said.
"Don't worry. Since it's hard to meet an old friend you don't need to pay me at all." Phil said to Max.
"If you need me for anything you can contact me. Here is my number." Phil said as he handed Max his number.
"Thanks," Max said to Phil.
"I will be showing you your rooms customers." a beautiful woman who appear to be a hotel employee said as she comes towards Ben, Max and Gwen.
"Please take good care of them. They are very important people." Phil said to the employee.
"Yes, Mr Phil." The employee replied.
[It seems like this guy may be a bigger deal than I thought. If he was not after the Omnitrix having him as an ally would not be bad.] Ben thought in his mind.
"I think it is getting very late. So see you in the morning Max." Phil said to Max as he waved him goodbye.

At a far away town.
"This rules." a black hair boy said as he barged out of a Bank while holding a sack of cash filled with 100-dollar bills.
It was Kevin. His body seems to be surrounded by electricity and he looked at the cops that were waiting for him outside the bank.
"Kevin Levin. You are surrounded. Now surrender the money and turn yourself in then we won't harm you. Otherwise, we will have no option but to use our guns." the police chief said as he aimed his gun at Kevin.
"Sir do you think that this would work?" one of the policemen said.
"Of course not," Kevin said as he transformed into electricity in front of the police and disappear of the policeman.
Not only that the sack of money that he was carrying started to levitate into the air as it went upwards towards a building with a blue lighting guiding it.
He then reappeared from the top of a building as he looked at the policemen who were shocked by his disappearance.
"Absorbing the energy from those little things is awesome. Imagine if I am able to absorb energy from the guys that appeared on the news. The four-arms guy, the blue crystal guy the fast thing and the fire guy." Kevin said as he smiled.
Before he transformed into electricity and disappeared from the city along with the cash that he robbed.
