Piltover Legends – Chapter 2
Hide and Seek
By Agent Of the Dawn
I
Vi did not know which was worse, the fact that she had to stand now among that enourmous crowd of people, or the fact that she had to squeeze her ass into that dammed blue festive officer's uniform, and because Caitlyn forced her to wear the women's version, it was version just like hers, with a skirt. The single, most hated thing ever by Vi was a skirt, and the fact that she was wearing one right now, was a torment for her. In previous years she somehow managed to get off duty during fete, of course she was present, she liked to watch the technological novelties. But mainly she was there to watch Caitlyn back, two years ago some rejected admirer decided to attack her with knife, which turned out to be a very stupid idea, Vi tried to recall how much it cost to have a dentist reconstruct his teeth, Cait had been bitching about it for some time but she now had completely forgotten the details. Meanwhile next group of adorers attack Caitlyn, with smiles, flowers, flattery and presents, as usual. As a beautiful woman she attracted many glances, and the fact that for the whole city she was not in any relationship, only attracted whole hordes of them. Combining all those things together, Vi was in her own personal hell right now. She prayed in mind that someone would cause some trouble right now, so she would be able to vent some rage, but unfortunately her reputation alone was enough to prevent any incidents. She watched from time to time at other people and saw how they would turn away their eyes, her personality did not make for her many friends in Piltover besides enforcers that served with her. Common folk mostly feared her, and tried to avoid her, she was to blame for that party, destroyed buildings, walls, fences, shops, bars and list would go on, they gave her also many nicknames, none of them with flattery in mind.
She put her hands to her face wiping trying to calm the train of thoughts in her head "This will be a long fucking day..."
- Excuse me, Lady Vi ?
She turned around towards the source of the voice but found no one.
- Lady Vi ?
She looked down and saw a little blonde girl, probably no older than 7 years old, standing in front of her, she looked familiar but Vi couldn't remember from where she could possibly know her.
- Oh hello kiddo – she knelt down and looked her in the eyes smiling gently to her – are You lost ?
- No, mommy and daddy are standing over there – she pointed a finger towards a tall man and elegant woman nearby, he also looked familiar and he smiled when they gazes met.
- Lady Vi do You remember me ?
Her mind switched on upon hearing Lady Vi again.
- Amanda ! You've grown I almost didn't recognize You, what's up little one ?
She remembers now, they met about year ago, during protest against hextech that took place in front of Jayce new factory. Amanda's father works for Jayce but that day for reasons unknown to Vi he brought his daughter along. Protesters recognized the emblem on his uniform and attack him, those stunners even started to make threats upon his daughter life if he would continue his work in, as they called it the vile place. Luckily Vi was there with the riot squad, and she quickly teach them that threatening a little girl in her presence is the quickest way to get into hospital, recalling the event, she wondered for a moment if everyone had regained full mobility.
- So You do remember me ! - girl started bouncing with joy – I was afraid You forgot about me.
- How could I – she reached with her hand and pat her on the head – so, what brings You here ?
- My daddy told me that You might be here, so I prepared something for You.
- Oh ?
- Here it's for You Lady Vi ! I never thanked You for saving me.
She gave her a drawing presenting Vi holding little girl in one of her gauntlets, and pummeling some figures with the other "Yeah, that's accurate" she smiled and could feel like her eyes are getting wet, she was really touched.
- That's.. Thank You Amanda, it's awesome drawing, it is a beatifull gift, and call me just V… actually You may use my full name, but You must keep it as secret ok ?
- Yes yes I will !
- My name is Violet
- Violet, it's so pretty ! And You are pretty to – she jumped to her and hugged her by the neck, Vi was very surprised, but she gently hugged her back with one hand.
- Thank You Amanda.
- My mommy and daddy said that many people treat You wrongly that they und.. undii.. uderr.
- Underestimating ?
- Yes that's a long word, that You are a good and kind person, and they are many others that think like that.
- Thank them from me, that's very kind.
- And please don't be sad, You have me as Your friend !
- I won't be sad, I promise. Now go to your parents, there many fun places to visit in here.
- Ok, will I see You again ?
- We're friends right ? Of course You'll see me again.
- Great ! Bye Violet, You are great.
- Bye Amanda.
- Oh Violet, happy Progress Day
Vie laughed and for the first time she actualy meant it by saying that.
- Happy Progress Day
Little smiled to her one more time, and run off to her parents, the nodded to her and soon disappeard in the crowd, Vi looked again at the picture, and she sense single tear going down her cheek, for everything hated in this day, that one thing was enough to change her mood for the rest of the day, that was all reward she needed, child honest smile and her drawing.
II
Vi watched patiently, leaned on the street lamp as Caitlyn were giving final instructions to the night watch. She was relieved that they will head home soon, this was a long day and honest rest was well earned, and what rest could be better that spending night with her Cupcake, what was left of it anyway, sun set couple hours ago and festive ground were already empty.
- Vi.
Familiar voice scattered her thoughts, she turn her head around and looked at the source of this calm and deep voice with a smile.
- Leeland.
She had to admit that despite his often very formal approach to everything, she liked him a lot. Technically he had the same rank as her, but unofficially he was Caitlyn's undisputed deputy, and was probably just as clever and intelligent as the Sheriff. Since the their first meeting, he was always polite and patient towards Vi, even helped her couple of times when she got herself into conflict with some radical enforcers. She even shared with him drink many times, in bar after hours, he know tons of fun stories and was really cool guy.
- Still here ?
- Yeah i'm waiting for the Cai… I mean for Sheriff.
- Relax, if she's not around I also sometimes spoke about her by name.
- Hah, You really ? Mr by the book ?
- Well.. Not always by the book.
She laughed and shaked her head, he really was a cool guy.
- It's good to have You back Vi.
- Oh c'mon, it was three months ago, besides little amnesia is harmless from to time to time.
- Caitlyn would no agreed with that, she missed You, and so did I.
- You did ?
- Yes, HQ wasn't the same without You, I grew fond of Your loud voice and flying object throw at others.
They both laughed this time, they even draw attention of Caitlyn for a second, but she quickly focused her attention back to enforcers of night watch.
- Can I ask You a private question ? You don't have to answer.
- Oh, this will be interesting, ok shoot.
- You never leave her side for long do You ? What she did that You are so loyal and protective of her ?
Vi stayed silent for a while, she had to very careful, Leeland was clever man, she had to be very clear with her words, they often wonder with Caitlyn if they should tell him the truth but they agreed to wait for a good moment, at that most definitely wasn't the one. She looked at him with calm eyes and tried to sound as convincing as possible.
- You know I was in jail right ?
- Yes, Stillwater, but there were no charges in Your file.
- Heh Marcus Marcus saw to that..
- His corruption was shock to me too, I trained him at the academy. He was a good lad, I like to think that at the end there was still a bit of that honest boy left in him. You crossed him somehow ?
- Let's just say that I saw something that I shouldn't have, and he caught me on it.. I was never supposed to leave that place. And when I was close to accepting my fate, she came. We met by a pure coincidence, I beat the crap out off her witness, and she wanted to know why. She realized I can help her, and she got me out of that shithole, when rest of the world gave up on me, she placed her trust in me, in a complete stranger at that point. She even helped me sort out some….Personal mess… Never asking for anything in return, and has never let me down, not even once. I would be dead, beaten to bloody pulp on that fucking island if not for her, so I promised myself that I will keep her safe, not matter what, it's a least I can do to repay her for that big heart of hers.
- I see – he put his hand on her shoulder – I'm sorry that something like this happened to You, but I think it was meant to be.
- Say what ? I never took You for a guy who believes in fate and other such nonsense.
- Hah I'm not. But I don't believe in coincidences, there is a pattern in everyone lives, one decision leads to another. For instance look at You and Sheriff.
- Hm ?
- If You hadn't beaten up this witness or walked past him, you two wouldn't have met.
- Well that's a scary thought….
- But the events took place as it did. In all my years of service, I have never seen partners so different and yet so effective like You two. You bested challenges that most of the enforcers would rather run from. Like You were meant to met, and fight together.
- I never thought about it like that…Thanks, I think.
- My pleasure, oh boss incoming.
Caitlyn approached them witch curious face.
- Vi, David, is everything alright ?
- Yeap.
- Yes M'am, we just finished sweeping the grounds, area is clear and night watch can take over.
- Very well, send the rest to their homes, tomorrow will be another long day.
- Yes M'am right away, goodnight.
- To You too Leeland.
They led him away with their eyes, then started walking out of festive grounds. When they were alone Vi looked at her other half with amusement.
- Sooo Cupcake, when is the wedding ?
- Excuse me ?
- You know, young Armis, did You know that his parents have a largest vineyard in Piltover ? Damn nice catch Caitlyn.
- What… what are You talking about ?!
- You didn't say no.
Vi turned around and started walking, leaving Cait standing behind shocked, she quickly regain her composture and catch up to her.
- Vi wait ! This was already akward enough with that dammed orchestra and wagon of flowers, I was trying to avoid a scandal, I'll wait couple of days and tell him NO !
- Well You better think it trough, You have the perfect opportunity to get rid off me.
- Vi that's not funny at all !
- I never been on a wedding party, You will invite me at least right ?
- VIOLET !
III
Vi was lying on the sofa in the living room, her hands under her head, thinking about her conversation with Leeland, about what might have been if she hadn't bumped into the Silco thug in the prison canteen. However, all the scenarios that came to her mind had no good ending. A movement between her breasts snapped her out of her reverie. Caitlyn loved to lie on top of her, listening to her heart while Vi would lie on her back, every time Vi lay down for a nap Caitlyn would appear out of nowhere and lay down as she used to say: on her very private and extra warm sofa. During such rests she usually fell asleep after a while, feeling safe and warm, but that night both of them were in a bad mood.
- Did Amanda found You ?
- Yeah she gave me a picture that she drew, with me, her an… Wait what ? How do you know I met her today ?
- Her parents asked me where to find You, they tried on their own but with no success. She prepared a picture for You, she drew how you save her during the protest.
- Well I guess You were a lot easier to find, that huge pile of flowers was a dead give away.
Caitlyn raised her head and looked at Vi with her calm eyes.
- Vi, are you jealous of them?
- That's not it Cupcake, I'm not jealous about those lunatics, I'm jealous about situation.
- What do You mean ?
- I would also like to show you affection in public...
- Vi..
Caitlyn's eyes softened "So that's what it's all about" she reached witch hand and gently touched her face.
- We talked about this…
- I know I know… right moment…
- You know it can cause a lot of problems.. We must wait for now.
- C'mon Cupcake, are we really in that much danger ?
- You're not, but me… I'm Your commanding officer, Sheriff, there are exactly 6 regulations that I have broken. Punishment would be up to Council to decide.
- You have a voice as if they were going to put you in Stillwater.
- That is a possibility.
- Little furball will never let it happen.
- Council consist of seven Vi..
- Ok even if, I'd get you out of there even if I had to go through the whole bloody prison.
- I know...
Sad tone in her voice alarmed Vi instantly, she scolded herself in mind for starting this topic "Vi you stupid greedy bitch.." that topic always led to some argument or silent hours, she knew that escalation was close, and quick action was needed if they were to be any hope for some peaceful night.
- Shit.. Cupcake I'm sorry - Vi raised her hand and began to smooth Caitlyn's hair, she knew she loved it when she ran her fingers through her black strands – I know there would be problems, and we have to wait for a good occasion. But I'm… I'm just so fucking proud…
Caitlyn raised her head a little so she could look into that big and honest gray-blue eyes.
- Proud ?
- Cupcake, You could have any man or woman in this time, You're smart, compassionate, fair and You love helping people, not the mentions You have best legs in town. You're a princess from some fairy tail and You choose me, some street shit brawler, thief and convict. I am proud of… that You love me.
She felt warmth on her cheek, Caitlyn's gentle fingers stroked her skin, and she looked at her with a flushed face.
- Thank You, but don't You dare thinking of yourself like that, You are capable of so much more.
- Yeah…
- Vi I mean it.
- Ok..
Silence fell upon the once more, but it wasn't an akward one, they just enjoyed each other pressence, words were unnecessary right now. Suddenly Caitlyn rose herself up on her hands at looked Vi with troubled look.
- Damn I forgot
- About ?
- Jayce said he will come by.
- At this hour ?!
- You know how exited her gets after presentations, those hexmobiles are apparently the only thing on his mind lately, he also said he wants to talk with You about your request.
- Ha, he better build me my ride or..
A knock on the door interrupted the conversation, they looked at each other and sighed simultaneously. A quick kiss had to suffice for now, Vi just hoped Jayce wouldn't abuse their hospitality.
- I think we've summoned him, I'll open.
- And I'll make some tea.
Vi made her way to the door and opened them, but unluckily for them, it was not Jayce who was their guest.
- Sup Ja….. LEELAND ?! - "Oh fuck…." Vi gave the guests a surprised look, but it seemed that Leeland and the two accompanying enforcers were even more surprised to see her in their sheriff house. Vi saw out of the corner of her eye that Caitlyn froze in place, looking at the whole incident with obvious concern.
- Vi ? What are You doing here ?
All three of them looked her over from bottom to top, only then Vi remembered that she only wears sports bra and shorts, Jayce has become accustomed to this sight, her colleagues however did not. "C'mon think dammit !" She was trying to find a really good excuse, and was furious on herself for not checking who came, before opening.
- I.. I lost damn keys to my flat at festival, boss was kind enough to shelter a stray – she looked behind him at the two enforcers – Mike, Lougherthy my eyes are little higher You know ?
Two man blushed like roses and turned away at once to guard the street.
- Oh, don't worry this happens a lot actually, check up lost and found office, I'm sure someone found them. But I'm afraid we have more pressing issues right now.
Caitlyn came close to the door, Vi was impressed that she got herself dressed in trousers and a T-shirt, considering that her wardrobe was upstairs.
- What's wrong David ?
- Two hours ago HQ received notification about missing child, we dispatched team there but such things happen sometimes for fairly trivial reasons. But...
- What ?
- By now there were ten disappearances of children in age from ten to twelve all over the city, and if our preliminary findings are correct, all of them happened at the same time.
IV
Caitlyn stormed through the enforcers headquarters like a wind, she must have looked really menacing because the passing functionaries just moved out of her way without a word. When summoned to an emergency meeting of the city council she was under the illusion that she would receive support and offers of help, but her hopes proved to be misplaced. She noticed Leeland receiving reports from several officers.
- David please come to operations.
- Be right there M'am.
She quickly passed few corridors and walked quickly into the operations room, she threw her hat on a nearby chair and sighed deeply while rubbing her eyes, she opened the after a while and looked at the map spread out on the table with the places of disappearance marked on it. Twelve children were abducted and it's been ten fifteen since Leenad came to her house, she did not have any time to rest since then. Sun was almost gone below the horizon, fatigue was taking its toll but her determination was chasing away sleepiness, there was no option of resting now. Caitlyn was horrified, the reports confirmed the worst, all the children disappeared at the same hour, the scale and precision of the event was almost impossible to realise. Her mind was now working at top speed trying to find a pattern of activity, a clue that had gone unnoticed, to her frustration she had so far found absolutely nothing. Only clue they now posses was a common link between children wich she learned about on council emergency meeting.
- M'am ?
- Good You're here David, we have a lead please come here.
- Yes but first.
Leeland put an mug full of steaming tea and plate on table with a pile of sandwiches and fruits, Caitlyn looked at him confused and surprised, but faint smile on his face gave her a hint about this strange behaviour.
- Vi ?
He laughed while nodding his head
- Very good M'am
- David I told before, when we are alone or with Vi only call me by name, I'll let it pass on festive grounds, but I dont indent to do it now. You was my teacher, I fell akward every time if it helps, it's an order.
- Understood M.. Caitlyn.
- Thank You, how did she convinced You to this ?
- She said that during lots of stress You forget to eat, and normally its her that takes care off such things, since shes in Zaun and it may take some time for her to get back, she asked me to do it.
- Ask or threatned ?
- Hahaha, bit of both.
Caitlyn smiled sincerely, first time since all this started. Vi, her unbelievable Vi would always find a way to make her smile on a situations when most people would succumb to despair, she was her guardian even while not around. Cait looked at the watch on wall, she was in Zaun for five hours already, looking for any leads with Ekko. She needed her now, to hug into her stron arms and recharge her streght in her embrace, this case will be a long one, she knew she needs all strenght she can get.
- Ehh, I'm famished actualy, You have lab report ?
- I do.
- Ok, I'll eat and listen, I think that will satisfy my rude protector.
- I think it will – Leeland took a deep breath, news he had wasn't good at all – We took pictures samples and studied murder victims and all thr sites, results are the same. No traces of any kind, no sign of combat, force entry… Well to speed thing up we found absolutely nothing, like the children vanished in a tin air. I must admit Caitlyn, i'm really concerned, to pull of something like this.. Preparation, coordination, discipline, we are not looking for some thugs or gang even, those people were trained, and trained well.
Caitlyn had just finished her second sandwich and took a sip of tea, it had to be enough for now, she got up and walked over to the map on the table.
- That was my conclusion as well, additionally Heimendinger provided us with a new piece of the puzzle.
- How so ?
- All the missing children were geniuses in their scientific fields, physics, enginieering, two of them were promised to have place in Jayce factory, by him personally, when You put all the pieces together… - She knew what conclusions could be drawn from this situation, there could only be one explanation and it made her terrified - I'm afraid someone wants to use them to copy Piltover's achievements. This would be the dissaster. Imagine hextech weapons avaiable on black market.
- I don't even want to think about it.
- So does the Council, they are scared, very scared
- I can't blame them, I don't think that this work of some inside group, it would be easier to steal the plans, Zaun woulnd't be albe to coordinate like that, that leaves only option, group outside from city, maybe even special forces of foreing nations, or mercenaries working for one.
- Yes those two options are likely to be accurate.
- Did Council agreed to supress this information further ?
- Thanks to my.. hmm let's just say I went Vi style on the meeting.
- That bad ?
- I'm afraid so. Tomorrow morning, they wont block this information any longer, there going to be wide spread civil unrest, maybe riots.
- We will manage, but such chaos can help the culprits.
- I know…. I sincerely hope that Vi will find some clue in Zaun, because for now we have none to follow, and if we don't find one by morning…
- Let's hope it will not come to that.
As if triggered by a spell, Vi opened the door with a kick, marched into the room, out of breath, dirty and with her hair in an artistic disarray as usual, looked around and headed for the water jug. Of course, she did not bother with pouring the drink into the glass, as it is commonly known that drinking directly from the jug is normal, at least in the case of Vi. She gulped down the jug in one breath, crammed the whole sandwich into her mouth and watched Caitlyn and Leeland while chewing the food.
- Vi, are You okay ?
- Don't worry David, this quite normal when she's super hungry and tired, Vi my dear, when you finish eating like a barbarian, please tell me that you have learned something.
Vi finally managed to swallow the contents of her mouth. She clutched her hips and breathed loudly.
- Leeland, she ate something I hope ?
Caitlyn gave her an icy stare, her sassy smirk sometimes drove her crazy, but she had to admit deep down she wouldn't trade her life with this woman for anything else, even though sometimes she wanted to shoot her.
- I have… Report Captain.
V
- Since time is of the essence, short version… But You better sit down for that - She took a deep breath, the news she had made the bad situation even worse - Eight kids were kidnapped from Zaun to, smart kids, with a flair for technology, chemtech, body augmentations and alchemy. Get this, time of day matches with cases in Piltover.
Leeland went pale, Caitlyn leaned harder against the table tilting her head down, her long hair covering her face like a curtain, she ground a curse in her teeth.
- That's not all, with Ekko's help I reached out to all my friends who are still alive, no one had any, literally no information about the potential perpetrators, no one traded with them, no one supplied them and no one had heard of a group big enough to do such a thing. As far as I have been able to find out, there is no traces of anything out of the ordinary at the kidnapping sites, apart from a few corpses around. The barons are trying to sweep everything under the carpet, but the streets are boiling, it's bad, it's really fucking bad.
Vi approached the table with the big map, she leaned her hips against it with her back against it, she put her hands in her pockets, she didn't want to say the words that came to her mind, she wasn't used to giving up, but the situation was hopeless, they needed a miracle.
- I hate to be barer of bad news, but unless you two found something on this end, we have nothing to follow… Ekko will keep looking but time is running out, those guys, who took those kids, the are pros, it's almost inhuman to pull of something like that, I get shivers when I think about this.
- Unfortunately Vi - Leeland's voice sounded empty, with a note of deep concern - Apart from the information that the Piltover children were also very gifted, we have no new information…
- Fuck ! We can't just sit around here, I'll go into the street and make a mess, maybe I can flush something out of hiding.
- That's..
Ciatlyn had not been paying attention to what was going on in the room for a while, in her mind she was piecing together all the information they had "Objective, get twenty gifted kids out of the twin cities. Target selection, they've been here for a long time, learning, observing, so they know our procedures too. Coordination, planning, flawless execution… they already have a plan to leave the city, probably secondary also. Kids.. they need them in good condition, medical examination before leaving, some food, they will be most likely put to sleep with drugs, easier to transport. Are they keeping them all in one place.. easier to manage harder to remain unnoticed.. I would keep them in one place, also because the need to debrief each team, make sure no traces were left. How are they planning to leave.. no irrelevant right now, we can't count to get them while extraction, to many options. We need to know exact location, they have enough manpower, probably guarding whole route. Time… returning to base with kids, examination, debriefing, preparations.. twenty-four to twenty-eight, that's our time window, kids will be out of our reach in twenty-four hours in worse case scenario. City wide search would take at least double that time… Dam it… Think woman think ! Maybe someo… " The idea that came into her head was so absurd that she could not understand how such a thought came into her mind. She tried again to analyse all the information one by one, but the idea remained only reliable action to take, although too crazy, it was the only real chance to save the children.
- Caitlyn !
Vi and Leeland's voices only now began to flow back to her, she lifted her head searching Vi's eyes with her eyes, she knew they were probably going to have a fight like never before.
- Oh no… - Vi knew that look well, she had seen it several times, each time it involved a plan, each time they carried out that plan, they came close to death.
- Can someone tell me what's going on ?
- She came with a plan Leeland.. Crazy as fuck, but a plan.
- I think we have twenty-four hours from now to save the kids, after that, it will be to late, and I.. I know how to find them.. We need to ask your sister for help.
- Vi has.. - Leeland blinked in surprise – Vi, You have a sister ?
Vi looked at Caitlyn with eyes as big as saucers, her hands clenched in fists, and her gaze beginning to burn with a dangerous glow, eruption was imminent.
- You've got to be fucking kidding me.
VI
During his long career David Lelaand gained reputation of ultimate peacekeeper, he could always find a way to calm down arguing enforcers, many of which often sought his council in private matters. As a faithful husband and father of two daughters and son he could offer for other valuable insight into hardships of life. He never thought that might come a situation where he would be unable to help. This wasn't he first time he witnessed an argument between Caitlyn and Vi, they were quite common, at least one per two weeks, and for number of reasons. However this was the first time he was in the same room, and by his memory this was largest verbal battle yet. So he stood there with hands behind his back, eyes like saucers and he come with a very smart decision, that time he should be quiet.
- You really think she will help us ?! has already demolished probably half the buildings in this city, not to mention the wounded !
- She is our only hope, she knows Zaun and Piltover better then anyone.
- Have You fucked Your mind while I was in Zaun Cupcake ?! This is beyond insane !
- How dare You talk to me like that ?!
- How ?! Tell me better HOW the fuck You came up with piece of shit idea !
- If You have better one let's hear it !
- Turn city upside down, raid fucking Zaun if we have to, but NOT HER !
- It would take too much time, they will be long gone !
- For fucks sake Caitlyn ! She will kill You ! I will not let that happen !
- She will taunt us first, we will have time to talk her !
- You cannot reason with her ! I tried ! Her visit changes nothing ! She's to unstable !
- This is the only way I can think of ! Only She can find them in time and You know it !
- Can and will are not the same things !
- It's the only plan that can work !
- It's a SUICIDE !
Vi grabbed a plate from the table and throw with full force at nearby wall, shattering the projectile into pieces, she then came closer to Caitlyn, their faces were inches away, either of them was willing to back down, but behind Vi eyes was sadness and fear, Caitlyn saw that too, her angry face faded instantly, she grabbed Vi hands in her own and squeezed them hard.
- Vi...
- I.. - Vi turned her gaze to the floor – I can find her… but I cannot keep You safe around her… You, are asking me to help You commit suicide… I refuse. I can't loose You like this.
Vi tore her hands from Caitlyn grip and left the room slamming the door loudly, Caitlyn sighed and covered her face with her hand "This could have gone better..." Vi reaction was beyond her anticipation, she knew Vi can get overprotective, and this was very risky, and could potentially led to her death if things go wrong. She grabbed her hips and looked at the door behind which Vi had disappeared, out of the corner of her eye she saw Leeland, who was standing there staring at the whole incident with a pale yet calm face.
- David I..
- You two were talking about Jinx aren't you ? She is Vi sister ?!
- Yes…
- Damn, I knew Vi life was hard but this… And I do understand why this was a secret but... I have some questions but this is not the time for stories. Caitlyn, she has the point, Jinx could be extremely powerful ally, but it's dangerous.
- I know, but she knows every with dark corner of Zaun and Piltover.
- That's also true…
- I will convince Vi, we will go for Zaun.
- Are You sure ? It's seems bleak that Vi will relent.
- I have my ways. Take command during my absence, first thing in the morning blockade bridges, full inspection of everyone, search parties in city, every building, every corner from east side to the west, we need to reassure people that we are doing everything we can, riots would be a dissaster. If anyone asks where I am, tell them I'm on the hunt.
- Yes Ma'm, good luck.
- You too David.
She marched out of the room with a quick step, she knew where she would find her and she knew she was in for a very difficult conversation. She must convince someone who loves her the most in the world to let her risk her life.
