You glare at them all in a rage. Where the hell did they get an unregistered who could take down an indigo? Hell, if he'd been registered they'd of drafted him into the army first chance they got. Finding tall kids with experience was getting harder and harder and Song keeps threatening to invade if the Lady doesn't show herself soon. She's already said she will if it comes to that, but to try and find another method.
"we'll search,ch the int,tire area, your house and,d your neighb,bor's! Every sing,gle unregistered will g,go int,to the int,terog,gation cent,ter! They'll put,t you t,to the hang,ging b,block if it,t's more than five cold,dez!"
"really?" the tall warrior kid said looking at you in surprise. You gash your teeth.
"lik,ke you d,did,dn't know what,t you were g,get,t,t t... Lik,ke you didn't,t know that,t would hap,p,p,p..." you knit your eyebrows in frustration. The boy turned to Rikhev.
"that's true?" he said interrogatingly. Rikhev's mouth opens and closes readily, starting excuses and cutting them off, but he can't seem to come up with anything. Finally he bows his head and hides his face in his palms.
"yes" he mutters faintly, guilty. The tall kid turns and looks at you and you realize why Voldez couldn't lie to him. He had eyes like a pupa's. They were wide and large and straight forward. They made you wonder how old he was when you looked just at his face, but noticing his build you just can't believe he's as young as his eyes depict.
"do you really want to take in kids who'll cry at the first glance of you?" you eye him skeptically. What's he trying to do? Obviously something.
"it,t is the d,dut,ty of a g,gaurd,d of the court,t to b,bring,g in reb,bel civilians and,d d,dangerous c,contrab,band,ds." you say carefully. You fully aware he could kill you or Morris if you make one wrong move. Hell, you know nothing about this kid. For all you know you should add Rikhev and the girl as possible victims. He paused.
"how about I make you a deal?" he said just as carefully as you. You look at him blankly.
"a d,deal?" he nodded.
"one dangerous, skilled fighter who's unregistered for the release and registration of twenty helpless, nonlethal, scared children who if any of you so much as touch I'll string your organs out to have a look-see." he said casually, sounding quite dangerous to you. He look at him with a carefully controlled face.
"and,d where would,d you g,get,t this hard,dened,d c,criminal?" you ask. He looks at you startled.
"me, of course. I'll give you me for them." The girl started to protest, but he waved his hand at her for her to be silent. She gushed, but looked uneasy.
"d,deal." you say with a toothy shark-like grin.
