Chapter 41
Death lead the way through the tangled and ruined streets of Haven with Chix and Lilly in tow, her armored form leading the way, a Kevlar BDU with several built in surprises that Chix was just beginning to figure out. He knew that her armor had a shielding devise and the jetpack, though the helmet probably had other gear built in as well.
The mud maid also went extremely well armed, she carried a lot of different blades and guns with a few explosives. She was something else, something that even before everything happened he would never have dreamed about hitting on, she scared him.
"We're near the meeting point," Death said as she placed her hands on the pommels of her twin katanas, "My partner and all of those she was heading to recover before revealing herself should be here soon."
"You mean there are more like you down here?" Lilly stammered as she leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
"Two infiltrators if that is what you mean, but only two, we didn't risk anyone else on the mission we were taking to find out what those maniacs were up to."
"That sort of makes sense," Chix interjected, "Two people gives some backup without much use of force."
Lilly stared at him with an odd look.
"What, I used to like reading about spies, I thought that they were cool when I was a kid."
Death had an odd expression on her face as she raised one eyebrow, "You wanted to be a spy, your to loudmouthed to play Bond."
"Bond?"
"A movie character," Death explained, intrigued by the sprite, "British superspy."
"Mudmen and their movies," Frond mumbled as she slid to the ground.
"I haven't seen one for a long time myself, gave up on them when I joined the chamber," Death said with a sigh, "I didn't have the time, though I did like them when I was a child."
Suddenly death spun her head and rose her finger to her lips to tell them to quiet down as she drew both blades from her shoulders. The twin shafts of silver steel moved silently through the air as she seemed to become a shadow again.
