[i]she shakes her head[/i] Did you not see what happened besides what happened to her..... A simple apology won't cut it."
-
[b]No, what happened? And If a simple apology won't cut it what will?[/b]
-
[i] Her voice drops to almost a whisper.[/i] L " Do you know anything about a guy called Grell..." [i] she can't bring herself to say anymore.[/i]
-
[b]No, why? [/b]
-
[i] Llani looks decidedly ill, [/i] L " He's a sex trafficker first and foremost , drug dealer and all round deviant, we knew he had been hanging around the school, which is what all the surveillance stuff was about, I was meant to be watching her, but I wasn't... [i] she looks at you[/i]..he was, ...and no one was there.".
-
[i]When you see Mercury's face you see he has no expression[/i] [b]Where... Where is he.[/b]
-
[i] She shrugs[/i] L "We don't know we know he had a slave pen down at the warehouses,him and Limbo ran some stuff out of there,but recently everyone has been bailing,have you not noticed about third of the kids have been moved out of state .Grell started moving his ...stock a few days ago but he was coming up to the school every day, to visit Yuri, of all people. Or so he said,I wonder if he wasn't looking for something else. [i] She looks utterly hopeless[/i] L " I'm afraid Mercury ,I have NEVER seen her channel that much energy before, usually she struggles just to teleport. Let me check the latest feeds from the cameras maybe he's been stupid enough to stick around."
-
[b]Fine, but I'm going after him... No matter what.[/b] [i]He taps multiple buttons on his gauntlets[/i]
-
L " he's a tier 2 mover with asizeable gang of thugs behind him. [spoiler] not too mention he is one of jolly's characters[/spoiler] whats more important is finding Light, "
-
[i]He makes his hand a fist[/i] [b]Fine, lead the way...[/b]
-
[i] They head up to Llani 's room, as you enter you see that one side of the room is almost floor to ceiling with tech. there is a long work bench with lots of equipment geared towards modifying her gauntlets,audio regulators ,modulators, resonance emitters almost anything that could be used to fine tune sound. There are 5 monitors set up against the wall, she activates a holoport ,she puts her finger behind her ear and connects with the hard drive of the security feed . The images flash up on the screen they are all camera's placed around the school,she flicks through archive footage where Grell can be seen coming onto school property and heading into the boys dorm and speaking to Yuri.[/i] L " too old, this was 4 days ago." [i] After another 20 min she can't find anything that might help[/i] L " Damn it, I thought she would still be on the grounds." [i] About at her wits end she turns to you , [/i] L " Did she ever talk to you, about anything,anywhere that she went"
-
[b]Not really, the only time we really talked was at the bonfire. also, why do you have cameras all over the school?[/b] [i]He says while eyeing the monitors[/i]
-
[i] She considers lying then thinks better of it[/i] L " Thing is this is one of those secrets that you said I couldn't keep, although we seem to have done pretty good job so far and if it wasn't for the situation I still wouldn't tell you Jack, but as it is, heres the deal. There is a war coming, and its going to come here, and sooner than you think."
-
[b]War? Well okay, but what does this have to do with Light?[/b]
-
[i] She sighs [/i] L "Do you know what is the greatest commodity during war time, especially in hot zones, up to date information. Thats what we have here,thats what we do. Information is worth a lot. even in peace time. but it comes with risks"
-
[b]I know, but my question was what does it have to do with Light? [/b]
-
L " Its her job to get them to talk,to spill their secrets,Its MY job to ensure we get the information recorded and then get her out safe. Our entire relationship hinges on her trusting me with her life. I failed, I can see you are not a person to trust others, well neither is she .We have worked long and her for the last 3 years to ensure I can read her every movement.so I can recognise if she is at risk, without her being able to tell me. This isn't something you just say sorry over,people in the field have to trust their handlers mor than their own families. More than themselves even. [i] She shakes her head,whats the use ,he doesn't get it,how the hell could he , he's a kid[/i] L " Take my advice, arm yourself because by tomorrow this place is going too be a war zone. I'll try and fix this myself." [i] She gets up reaching under her pillow she, pulls out Ace one of her two hand guns,checks the clip and the chamber,puts the safety on and tucks it in the back of her cjeanspulling her jacket down over it. She calls back, [/i] L " Stay at the school tonight,if anyone is able to get us out they will come hear." [i] And she is gone.[/i] (End)
