"C'mon, Ved!" Jays says, pleading with his kid brother, something he
never thought he'd do, "You're my brother!"
"Yeah, my brother who threatens me more than he greets me, and who's my general," Ved says annoyed.
"Ved!" Jays says one last time.
"I told you, I don't know anything," Ved says in a hushed voice. He pretends to focus on his computer screen as a masked Techno walks by.
"Ved, if anyone knows about what's being done to prisoners, especially mall rats, you'd know, right?"
Ved sighs and shrugs.
"Usually that's correct, but I guess Ram's got something planned this time- he's not telling me anything"
Jay frowns. Jay was usually Ram's right-hand man, but when it came to things Jay didn't approve of, like testing innocent Verts, Ram went to Ved. It was unlikely Ram would keep something from Ved like that.
"Have you tried asking him?" Jay asks as another Techno walks by. Jay's determined to figure it all out before actually going to Ram himself.
"Jay," Ved says, nervously laughing, "You know as well as I do that if you ask Ram about something suspicious, like testing on Verts, you'll get his cold shoulder for at least a week, maybe two"
Jay laughs. True, if anyone knew Ram's bad side, it had to be Ved. But in the same idea, Ved was right. Ram wasn't too open about talking about testing almost everyone knew was wrong.
"Okay so you have no idea where some of the Verts are being held?"
Ved grits his teeth and lets out a loud, angry sigh.
"Jay, for the last time, I don't know anything about it"
Jay stands up off his chair, looking down at Ved, sighing.
"Well, Ved, you had better start finding out about it, or I might have inform Ram about your numerous meetings with that Vert girl"
Ved looks nervous. "Hmmmmm, what was her name again?" Jay wonders aloud, he pretends to forget her name, like the information of his little brother and Cloe had only come up once.
"Ah, yes," Jay says, slipping his hands into his pockets, "Cloe?"
Ved looks up. He would threaten his brother about the conversations he had with Verts, namely Amber, Ebony, and others like Salene and Dee, but he knew threatening his general wouldn't turn out well.
"Okay, fine!" Ved says, he doesn't want Jay to get him on Ram's bad side again.
Jay smiles. Maybe his brother wasn't so stupid after all.
"I'm going to go check out things down at the Mall," Jay says, turning.
Ved turns back to his computer, angry. 'So it is okay if Jay meddles in the affairs of Vert Mall rats, but it isn't for me?' Ved thought, rolling his eyes, 'Hypocrite!'
"Yeah, my brother who threatens me more than he greets me, and who's my general," Ved says annoyed.
