[nospaces] [attr="class","zev2"] [attr="class","text"] Two defectors did not necessarily make two rats. Many other Rocket grunts had disappeared immediately before, during, or after the November 18th operations, but few were true threats to the crime syndicate. Only CIAN MAHER had revealed much and more during his HBS interview, including the identities of several high-ranking Rocket personnel and businesses associated with the organization.[break][break] But Johanna Joy was a wild card. She knew more than the average grunt: the identities of high-ranking operatives who still maintained anonymity, and especially the secret of Genesect. Yet she hadn't appeared on the radar as a confirmed threat yet.[break][break] Team Rocket was not about to wait to find out.[break][break] Locating her had been simple enough, and Ever Grande City was not an impenetrable fortress. Zev had spent the day as a tourist, sampling the local fare and getting his bearings. He rented a room at a cheap motel and paid with cash. An extra 100 PD ensured the owner's silence.[break][break] That night, Zev walked through the apartment complex's front doors wearing a baseball cap to hide his face from the security cameras. In the elevator, he shed his civilian clothing for sleek, all-black gear he could fight in and a black mask to cover his face.[break][break] Much to his disappointment, Johanna was not home when he broke into her apartment. Still, his orders included leaving a message — not just for the woman herself or the League, but for any other Rocket grunts who might want to defect. So, starting with the coat rack in her entryway, he destroyed her home.[break][break] Her Pokémon tried to fight back in defense, but they clearly weren't meant for battles. A Weedle, Happiny, Trubbish, and Zigzagoon. Zev's own Pokémon knocked them out easily, but he gave a signal not to kill them. After all, Pokémon were just the tools of their masters. Only children broke objects in impotent rage.[break][break] In the silence that followed his destruction, Zev prepared for his ambush. He tested the lights and assumed the logical sequence Johanna would turn them on upon arriving home. Satisfied, he turned them all off again and stood just out of sight from a darkened doorway leading to her kitchen and dining area.[break][break] And then he waited. And waited. And waited.[break][break] Finally, he heard the front door open, the click of the lightswitch, and a young woman's voice calling out. Still in total darkness, Zev watched as Johanna rushed to her Happiny's side. While her back was still turned to him, he stepped forward until he was almost upon her, then let something crack under his boot to get her attention.[break][break] In the shadow beneath him, his Cofagrigus lay in wait.
