Interlude 0.5

Transcripts taken from Regents phone.

"Yeah?"

"You good to talk?"

"Sec...okay go ahead, what's up Reg?"

"Tats ran off with her new girlfriend and left me stranded on a roof!"

"What?"

"I'm stranded on a roof Grue! Bitch was being a bitch and then Tattletale and I were stuck on the rooftops with this weird homeless looking cape guy. Then it turned out the guys not a guy but a girl. Tattletale tried to recruit her or something and-"

"What do you mean recruit?"

"Like join up you know?"

"I fucking know that! That's not her decision! What the hell was she thinking!"

"That's was Bitch was saying before she dumped us off and ran home or wherever she goes."

"I'm on my way. How tall is the building?"

"Less than three but more than two."

"What?"

"It's like a two story building but it has an extra bit on top. I don't know man I'm not an architect."

"Where?"

"Hang on a sec, uhhh looks like the street sign is missing."

"Do you know how you got there?"

"I wasn't paying attention."

"Of fucking course not."

"Look man it's not my fault Tattletale got abducted by some dude chick."

"I though you said she ran off?"

"Whatever man, they were supposed to teleport to the alley but the hero couldn't make their power work right."

"The fuck? Hero?"

"Tats called the dude chick a homeless hero so, yeah, I guess so."

"Why didn't you say that before?"

"What the hero part? I'm sure I did. You just weren't listening."

"I should leave your ass on the roof."

"But you won't."

"..."

"Grue?"

"..."

"Come on man."

"..."

"Not funny man. You still coming?"

"I'm fucking driving Reg. I'm almost to the Docks. What can you see on the street?"

"Typical buildings but ya know the ones the ABB maintain. Uh, looks like a shitty truck with a flat on the corner annnnndddd only one other car on the block. A tan four door, big dent in the driver side ass."

"Aft? Like a boat?"

"No, ass, as in back end."

"That's what aft is."

"Asssss."

"Do you want me to pick you up or not?"

"The fuck you going to do? Jump up to get me? Go get Bitch or something. "

"There's rope in the van."

"Do I look like Tarzan?"

"No you look like a scrawny renascence wannabe. It's what I got man, and if Bitch left you up there and not come back, then she ain't going to unless I really chew her ass out to do it."

"I'd pay good money to see that."

"I should be getting close. Tell me if you see the van."

"Which one."

"I haven't traded the last one in yet."

"How close are you?"

"Past our place already."

"Shouldn't be too much farther from there. We weren't on the dogs long. Wait! Turn around and take a left at the truck. Yeah that's it."

"Alright get ready I want to make this quick and get out of here. We're too close to ABB territory for my taste."

"Can you see me waving?"

"How could I not? I'm going to see if I can pull into the alley. Get ready."

Line disconnected.

Author's Note: Just a quick promised Interlude. There's a couple of hints in here. I'll let you make your own theories.
