Trish's POV
With at least some sort of plan in place we hopped in the Regalia and headed out to an outpost where we could meet Cor.
"I managed to get through to my sister." Gladio said "She's in Lestallum with some other refugees."
"It's good she's okay." Prompto nodded.
"More than can be said for some." I frowned "Sorry…I'm being a total downer aren't I?"
"It's fine." Gladiolus shrugged.
"We'd best sort this out soon though." Iggy said "Noct won't stay dead forever."
We pulled into Hammerhead and disembarked to look for Cor.
"Hey, glad y'all made it." Cindy walked out of the shop "Certainly no weather for driving."
"Where's Cor?" Noct cut to the point.
"Left to do some business." Cindy said "he left y'all a message with Paw-Paw."
"What a pain, he tells us to meet him here and jumps off before we even show up." I grumbled a bit as we looked round for Cid "Pain in my ass doesn't he know what kind of day we've had!"
"Took you long enough to show up." Cid said "Take a seat, let's chat."
"We're really just looking for Cor." I said.
He totally ignored me and went into an explanation about what our enemies were after, the Crystal and the King's Ring.
"So all talk of peace was merely a pretext?" Ignis asked.
"I'd say I'm shocked but…not really." I shrugged.
"They played my father like a fool." Noct said.
"Don't be so sure." Cid said "Reggie was born at night, but not last night. He knew Lucius had been dealt a losing hand, so he played it best he could. He probably saw this coming a mile away and he wasn't just gonna roll over. In the end I guess it just wasn't enough. If you wanna know more you'd need to talk to Cor. He said he'd be at the tombs. There's a Hunter Outpost out that way, probably best to stop there and stock up if you need it."
"No use sitting around, if we leave now we can beat the sunset there." I said heading back to the car.
Later
We drove out into the wastes to an outpost before the old abandoned Royal Tombs.
"Maybe we can get more information here." I said walking towards the shack like buildings "But let's not spend too much time here, this place is super nasty looking."
"Trish?!" someone called out to me.
I stopped dead in my tracks, it felt like my whole body could just melt into jelly from all the nerves, fear and excitement that were bubbling up inside me.
"M…Mom." I turned around and saw Monica standing there "Oh thank god!"
I ran over and hugged her super tight, I didn't want to let go, I had to make sure it wasn't a dream.
"You're okay." I whispered "Jeez…answer your damn phone."
"It got destroyed." She half laughed "I'm sorry. I'm glad you're okay too I was worried when I saw those stories about the Prince."
"Jeez you know me, you'd think I'd die doing a job like that." I smiled "I'm just happy you're okay."
"One of a few." She frowned "It took a lot just to get myself and a few others out. There's not much point in wasting more time with me, the Marshal is waiting for you in the Tombs."
"Right." I smiled "We'll catch up later, I love you."
