"You've got to be f*cking kidding me....how??" 

Her mind was running through the list of people who she suspected and there were too many to recollect. She had created so many enemies in her life that there really was no telling who was after her right now. People putting searches out on her or wanting to find her were more common in her younger years. 

With how low key she has been there was no reason to look her up, her enemies had more people to worry about than her. She was a threat but they had more immediate threats they had to deal with first. At most, they would keep an eye out for her but actively searching for her was another matter. 

"Neo what do you mean searching for me?? Which version of me??"

Leaning in closer she tried to read the codes and see what triggered Neo's alarm. She knew that he had set up some sort of program to help protect their group's identity. It included their basic characteristics and any of their old identities as well. Between the three of them they had at least ten different identities they used in the past and all of them were programmed into his code. It helped cover all their bases and alerted them if there was a specific search for them. 

There were also a lot of people that naturally could match their fake identity so the alerts will coloured in a tiered system. If only one or two characteristics matched it would become a note and at most be a blue colour. When it was red, that was the highest level you could reach and the chances of it being a different person was slim.

In situations like this, Neo or Ming Ming usually jumped in to track down the signal and would determine if the threat was legitimate or not. She could track them down as well but out of the three she was the weakest in technology. That's why with high alerts she let them tackle it directly and just waited to hear their response on what was going on. 

However, waiting for each response in situations where she was the target was emotionally painful. She was impatient to find out the perpetrator as soon as possible and what characteristics they used to search her. If it was one of her older identities then she can narrow down the list of suspects. None of her enemies, that are still alive, had seen her current natural face.

There was always some aspect of herself that was altered to make people remember her differently. The list of things she changed were extensive from her height to her face and body structure.  She was thankful that prosthetics were publicly available so it was easy to buy items that changed her structure. Adding several pounds onto her figure or making her oval face become more square was as easy as putting on makeup. It was annoying to have to wear them continuously but they were very helpful in creating another persona different from her original face. She rarely reused a character and felt that it was safer to just create another one for each mission. Thus, making it that much easier to narrow down the suspects and their intentions just based on what mission she was on then. 

"Which identity are they searching? I know you're busy but a quick answer is all I need." 

There was another long pause as she watched Neo launch an additional set of attacks at the mystery man. He finished up another line before finally answering her question, "its your original identity ying ying."

"My original....?"

"Yes, your original. The way you look right now is what they are searching for."

"But no one else has seen this face other than.....is it Xi Long again?" She felt annoyed at the prospect of it being him, she thought they had reached an understanding regarding keeping things hidden. That man was no open book either, she didn't care to ask about his hidden past nor did he ask her either. 

She could tell he wanted to know but the fact that he respected her enough not to ask was something she liked. Other than when he was first looking for, she did not see him do any searches on her. While she had started a confusing relationship with him, he was not above her goal or keeping her identity hidden. She didn't want to completely blame him without the confirmation but it didn't stop her from being irritated at the notion. 'If I find out its him....' Her eyes became dark and her aura became colder as she waited for Neo's confirmation. 

"I don't know, give me a couple minutes. They created a code with very accurate parameters that matched your general physical characteristics, even included some of your skills so news that looks like it might be connected involve you will be pulled. It definitely takes a good understanding of you and your face to create this. Thankfully, its looks like a preliminary search and I was able to catch it seconds after they tried to run it."

"I have been very careful with my face for the past couple of months and only Xi Long has seen my face - he is also very recent. Its only been two weeks of knowing him. If its not him...then it has to be someone from way long ago, in our early years which would make things more complicated. Do we have a general location at least?"

"Its this city for sure, they set up their computer to run through many ip addresses and is technically very well protected. Anyone with less experience than me would have really struggled to get into this system, just based on that I can tell its a skilled individual. I doubt anyone in our past would search with these terms, it would be more specific and controlled. I think...."

"You don't have to say it I know...."
