"Is this going to be a problem Octavius?"
The Queen's adolescent voice held a discerning attitude.
The Games Master gritted his teeth.
He loathed her.
But she found use in him.
If she didn't he wouldn't be alive.
"No Milady. Our IT personal is correcting the security leak as we speak."
He looked down at the human who was typing furiously on his computer rewriting the security encryption. The twins had picked him up from some military base.
Sweat dripped down the fat human's face from his extremely receded hairline.
Even Octavius wouldn't devour this pig.
"And what of the cameras? Did they pick up whoever had hacked?"
Octavius felt a headache forming between his eyes.
The tapes had been tampered with. And he really didn't want to tell her.
Odds are she already knows and is just screwing with him.
"No Milady."
She sighed.
"Pathetic. And sloppy. I expect the best Octavius. It's not hard to find a new Games Master."
Octavius thought to his predecessor's demise.
He did not look good in silver.
"Yes Milady."
The line disconnected.
He looked over and the mortal was looking at him.
"Have you completed the task?"
The human nodded stupidly.
"Yes, everything has been re encrypted including your data feed from the cameras."
He quivered in the seat.
Octavius smiled.
"Excellent."
He turned away departing from the office. He needed to find out who dared to compromise the system.
And make them suffer.
If it was a fighter he could stop the Commons nonsense. that will cause tensions to rise and maybe the spy will be killed.
Unless it was a Broken who wasn't that broken.
Shit.
He turned to Ian and Fergus.
"All yours."
And with the wave of his hands the twins descended upon the human like a plague.
He wasn't missed.
"Holy crap."
They guys brought in the large haul of food.
Banshee whistled. "Bigger than last time. You guys will have more to eat."
She put the clothes down next to the food.
The food was basically 8 loaves of bread. Apples. 24 pack of water bottles. Cheese.
I crouched next to the picnic basket. Wrapped up in plastic wrap was a fresh off the barbeque ham.
"Dig in." Banshee announced.
Claude barely waited before pouncing on it.
"Save some for the rest of us!" Mathias kicked the wulfen out of the way.
Banshee picked up an apple and sat down, polishing it on her cloak.
I was digging into the ham while dumb and dumber fought.
Banshee laughed when they saw their betrayed expressions as they realized they could be eating instead of fighting which made them pummeled each other more.
"So stupid."
Banshee shrugged taking a small bight of a Fuji apple.
I watched her. She was looking towards the guys, probably entertained as they continued to wrestle.
I swear I knew her from somewhere.
"If you have something to say please say it."
She looked at me.
I swallowed the ham and loaf I stole before I asked.
"Who were you? I mean before Banshee."
She thought for a moment.
"I was a rich girl that lived in Nevada. A lot of friends but no close ones. Had a Russian soccer player for a boyfriend. Was on my way to getting into Yale as my parents had planned. Then I was attacked by a Windingo on my way to Vegas for a birthday party."
"Damn."
Why does this also sound familiar.
Come on brain!
"Before the windigo could literally eat me, the closest spirt around saw a chance for a meat suit and possessed me."
"Banshee."
"Correct. She killed the creature and we have been together ever since."
"How long?"
She shrugged. "A year. Maybe."
I know this! Why can't I think of it?"
"Look I know this is personal but what's your real name?"
Banshee frowned.
"Give me a minute." She asked then contemplated.
I finished my meal then continued to wait.
It was a very long minute. I didn't want to be pushy.
I was almost ready for bed when I heard her speak at last.
"Eidel. Montoya."
Oh.
Oh!
OH!
"ITS YOU!"
I sat up abruptly, pointing at her
She looked at me like I was a crazy person, well, I kind of am.
"I WAS TRACKING YOU AND THE OTHERS DOWN BEFORE I GOT STUCK HERE! OH MY GOD WAIT TILL I TELL ARIES ABOUT THIS! I KNEW! HAHAHAHA!"
Banshee-Eidel? Anyways she motioned for me to calm down otherwise ill wake everyone.
"Looking? Why?"
I grin to myself. The accomplishment bubblies forced me to grin like an idiot. But hey, I found her!
"I'm a Hunter. It's what I do."
Banshee nodded. "Thanks."
I shrug taking off my jacket and bunched it up for a shitty pillow.
"Night."
I call out.
"Goodnight."
Down the hall in a cell similar to our main characters a plot was being hatched.
There were three figures together.
"Did you get V's virus into his system?" A female voice asked.
A softer and more feminine voice answered quietly.
"Yes. By now she should have full control of the system."
This time a gruff male voice asked,
"So when will your . . . friends be able to spring this place?"
The girls stayed quiet.
"We don't know."
There was a moment of silence.
"What?"
"Form past experiences with bastard bureaucrats probably not for another week or two."
The softer voice sighed disappointedly.
He muttered something incomprehensible.
I found I had time and decided to write.
:D
Thanks for reading.
More action (most likely) next chapter.
