36} Part 3-3

?: I don't like being told things I already know.

Marik: *sigh* Yes master..

?: Good. *beep beep* Ah, the great Dr. Xié'è has decided to grace us with his presence.

Janet: Good. Let's see if Mr. Hin can keep up.

Dr. Xié'è: [The image of Dr. Xié'ès face was distorted and his voice wasn't very clear.] -ello? Hello? Mas-er?

?: What the hell?

Marik: Xié'è, what's going-

Dr. Xié'è: No time to talk! My lab ha- -cover- gem!

?: Gem?

Dr. Xié'è: I don't know ho- -ound m- -ab. I have to t- -troy a- -vidence of *static* -lass proj- *static* -eralds aquired over the *static* Fāxiàn wǒ de xiángqíng de ā'ěrbēisī shān! [Find me in the alps!] I have to *static* -ot le- -urn to *static* -ost! Do you hear m- -rys- Pìg- [This part is where he says Pìgu, which is Chinese for ass. At least according to google translate.]

?: Dr. Xié'è!? Dr. Xié'è come in! [Complete signal loss.] Dr. Xié'è!? Damn! Mutter verdammte Scheiße Affen! [Mother fucking shit monkeys!] I can't even track his lab anymore!

Marik: The words cut off were ha, cover, ho, ound, m, ab, t, troy, vidence, lass, proj, eralds, ot, le, urn, ost, m, rys. I know he said something in Chinese.

Mr Geralds: Either way, it is obvious that he was discovered by a gem. The question is, was it Emerald?

Janet: No, it can't be. Mr. Hin told us that he was still in that town last week. Dr. Xié'è is on the other side of the planet.

Marik: They have teleportation capabilities. Perhaps they got to Mr. Hin shortly after our last meeting, and then got him to talk. If so, it is entirely possible that he found Dr. Xié'ès laboratory. If so, the old coot probably decided to destroy all evidence of the project as well as any connection to us. With that said, we must assume our security is compromised and work out a new system to throw them off our tracks. Master?

?: Hm.. [She checked the screen where Mr. Hin was supposed to appear, and then at the screen that read 'Complete signal loss.'.] You just sparred both of your legs, Mr. Überraschung. [Surprise.] [The leader gave him a smile.]

Marik: *under his breath* That's not even close to my- *out loud* Thank you master.

?: Listen to me my loyal minions. Until you hear word from me, you are all incognito. Limit public appearances until I find out what has happened to Mr. Hins and Dr. Xié'è. Hide all information about project glass that you can. None of you are to seek each other out, or have any communications outside immediate business or family members. If you can, keep your location a secret from any and every one. For now, consider this the last communication you receive from me.

Everyone agreed, and cut the signals. The one they call master, simply poured herself a glass of red wine and swirled it in her cup. The mysterious figure thought back to distant memories. Memories of laughter and dancing, as well as violence and arguing all came to the strange figure.

?: So, the game has begun? *sips* Very well then. We will finish what we both started 50 years ago. Pilot! Open the door! I think I will fly home myself.

Pilot: Uh... I don't think that's a good idea ma'am. We're dangerously close to government property right now. If you were spotted then-

?: Then the last thing they see other than my ass, is your shredded body littered across the ground below as the plane crashes 100 miles away.

Pilot: [He presses a button.] Fly safely boss. [A door next to the figure opens.]

?: Hm. Smart. [The figure downs the rest of her wine and lets the glass hit the floor.] Don't wait up for me.

The mysterious person leapt out and fell to the ground. The ground coming up faster and faster, as the figure spun in the air. A laugh escaped the leaders lips as wings flew open.

?: Ah.. I love the feeling of the wind in my face. It makes me feel, alive.

Chapter 36! The true mastermind is revealed {Sort of}. Who is he/she/it/hamburger? What happened 50 years ago? Can you catch where this person was first {Kinda.} introduced? Will the answer to these questions appear in the next chapter! *dramatic music* Not really. Yeah, short chapter. I usually try to make it 1500 words if possible, but I just didn't see the need to prolong anything. Tell me what you think. :D
