Part 2 of 2

Duke sat patiently in the chair as the final cleansing and holy wards were removed.
Almost a week out of duty, to help ensure all traces of that demon's soul were actually gone, and now he could finally return to work.
Well, technically he was officially returning to work tomorrow. Scarlett and Snake Eyes were going to come and pick him up and inform him on what had happened while he'd been out of action, all to help keep him from getting overwhelmed.
From what he did know though, it was bad.
They'd found three other soul boxes hidden in the base and so far, Hi-Tech had confirmed that the Vault had been broken into, with at least ten items missing. All of them ranged from mid to high level, which was bad.
The only bright side seemed to be that the traitor Firefly had grabbed the objects at random, as none of the missing ones were true threats on their own. But that bothered Duke.
If unleashing those soul boxes had been purely to create an opportunity to get into the Vault, then Firefly must have been after something specific, but what? All the items he'd taken would need to be combined with something else to have any real power behind it, but they were still assessing the damage. Those items could have easily been to cover up whatever his real target was.
There was also the fact that they still hadn't found whoever his accomplice was, if there even was one. From what Duke had been told, time-delayed viruses had been found in the computer system, cleverly hidden away and all set to create small black-outs in the system, which would have been more than enough to smuggle in something.
He was broken from his thoughts by Scarlett saying his name. Looking up, he saw her waiting patiently at the door to his securing cell, Snake Eyes just behind her.
Giving them a small smile, he rose from his chair.
It was time to get back to work.
