A/N: I'm sooooo sorry for the lack of updating! I wanted to make this a long chapter but have kind of been made brain dead by school. So I leave you with this and hopefully in a month or so will have a spark of innovation and update more. Thanks to all who have reviewed this story or messaged me! It means so much to me as this is my first story, and I want to get my love of the MP3 hunters out there. Xoxo. Please PM me if you have any ideas for the story!
"What in the hell are YOU doing here, leech?" questioned a baffled Rundas as he entered the room after hearing the exchange that just happened. "And what did you do to poor innocent Ghor? Did you suck out all his blood and leave him for dead."
Gandrayda turned around and gave Rundas a huge grin. "First of all, I would appreciate not being called a leech…"
"But you ARE one. You're Sylux's little side leech and plaything," interrupted Rundas .
"I'm sure Samus would agree with me saying that is not the way to talk to women, Rundie pie. Maybe if you had some manners I would have dated you instead of Sylux.
Rundas gasped after hearing this revelation. "Look, that was my first week at the federation. I thought you were hot. If I had known what a clingy bitch you were I never would have favored you."
"Okay BOTH of you stop talking about unimportant stuff…" started Samus
"Hey! Protecting my ego is important!"
"Rundas, hush. Gandrayda, where is Ghor and how did you know we would be here?"
"Ghor is fine. He's asleep in his room I made sure that his alarm wouldn't go off. I'm not a sinister person. I heard all about your little plan. You could say I was a fly on the wall," explained Gandrayda as she snickered to herself.
"Oh STOP it with the obnoxious giggling it's not cute."
"Rundas, hush, we need answers. So are what are you going to do? Tell your boyfriend about this."
"Oh hunny, if I wanted Sylux to know he would be here beating you both to a pulp. I do not intend for anyone to get hurt." Gandrayda then looked down sadly. "I should have never dated Sylux. He's so awful to be around. I would leave him, but since I know too much about him and vice versa, I feel endangered."
Samus's expression softened. "Well if you want him to go down, why did you go through the trouble to follow us here?"
"Because I don't think this is a good idea. And I would have told you without the sneaking but I doubt you guys would have listened to me and done it anyway. I came all the way out here to earn your trust. No one has tried to go after Sylux before, and joining up with you guys is my only chance to be free again."
"Well why is ruining his weaponry a bad idea then?" asked an unsympathetic Rundas.
"Because he will know, you idiot. Sylux knows everything that goes on down here. If he's not doing patrols then one of his minions is. Luckily, I made sure that I was on patrol duty tonight."
"Well I'm not the idiot who got into a relationship with a psychopath…. But why does he put so much time into protecting this vault?" sneered Rundas.
"I am going to ignore the first part but as for the second part I am not sure. All I know is he has plans that no one knows about. And I'm getting scared."
"Well, Gandrayda, I really appreciate your help tonight. And I'm sorry you are going through this. If you ever need anything please let me know. Us girls have to stick together in a world dominated by conceited men," replied Samus gently.
Gandrayda beamed and was suddenly back to her naïve and girlish self. "Oh dear sweet Sammy, of course I will come to your for help. I would prefer if your icy bastard of a companion wasn't around, but who am I to tell the greatest bounty hunter in the world who she should keep in her company. And you can call me Dray."
"You are such a suck up," said Rundas. "Samus knows I'm her best friend and has no room for a leech on her side."
"Rundas, I never told you that you were my best friend." Though I'm oddly flattered he said that…. "And as long as Dray proves that she can be trusted, I don't see a problem with adding a new ally."
"And I will prove myself trustworthy, Sammy! Now you both need to go before Sylux decides to come down and check things out for himself."
