Chapter 10: Negotiations and Colby Stockton
It was a long time ago, at least it almost seemed that way. Being with the Union, having a bit if happiness in her life. Now all she could do was run, that's it run. What else could she do? She was a Stealth unit not a fighter, she could not do that much damage to them. She was also very tired of running. Somehow though she made it to Miami Florida. It was quite simple to hide the SHELL. However she looked around the place knowing her Union I.D. wouldn't work, she had a New York I.D. She had been in New York first before transferring to the London H.Q. It was a bit difficult managing but she manage to get food and shelter. She had plenty of money left from an account. Most people who met her or saw her just said…"Typical New Yorker." So she blended in, but she knew she couldn't stay long. So she went back to her SHELL to keep going. A blinking light however stopped her from taking off.
"A communication signal…? Here? Who would want to talk to me?"
She blinked a few moments letting it go. She checked the source of the signal and it revealed a Union signal.
"…" She picked up the comm. signal and listened to it, hearing an unfamiliar voice ring from it.
"This is Colby Stockton from the Seraph calling the Fantoma do you read?"
"This is the Fantoma what do you want?"
"Thank God! I finally found you, Shauna I want to ask a favor or more so a request from you."
"Why should I fulfill this request? You do know you're using a Union line am I right?"
"Yes…but why does that matter? I mean come on it might have been the only way of finding you, would you however consider my request if you just listened to it?"
"You have not given me a reason to help you. I don't have a reason to help you…you're using a Union line what kind of stupid trap is that?"
"Trap?…Wait I think you misunderstand this isn't anything like that."
"Right…I don't care and I don't believe you the answer is no. I won't help anyone who is associated with the Union and basically those that pose a danger to me."
"And the thing is you made a mistake, using the Union's frequency. Only a fool falls for that trap good bye."
She shut off the comm signal ignoring it from that point on. She powered Fantoma and kept going. Knowing she would need a plan of action from that point on. In case the Union decided to send their pet projects against her.
