Tretia is their next destination… Violet says she knows a place there where Sevastis people might be… Sophie, Fiona, Marcus, Violet, and Lucy, the contract killer, are coming.
Sophie: "Hmm.."
(Cough!)
Marcus: "mmm… Why between you two.."
Sophie: "What, you're red, that's kinda cute."
Fiona: "hmm."
Marcus: "tssss…"
Sophie and Fiona sat with him… Lucy sat somewhere else with Violet and Melina… somewhere else…
Lucy: "hmm.."
Violet: "Hahh.."
Marcus took out his bottle…
Marcus: "Does anyone want coffee?"
Sophie: "Oh that would be really nice…"
Marcus: "Gladly.."
Fiona: "mmm.."
Marcus: "Hehe Fiona don't worry, I drink my coffee with sugar too, take as much as you want.."
Fiona: "oh...thank you.."
Lucy: "Why does she like sugar so much?"
Sophie: "Fiona can only taste sweet things… nothing salty… unless there's spice in it, then she can taste a little… but only a little…"
Lucy: "oh… wow… does that mean you could never drink soup that isn't sweet… or rice with sauce or sushi?…"
Fiona: "No….."
Lucy: "Oh wow.."
Marcus handed her the sugar…
Marcus: "Here Fiona, and you too Sophie.."
Sophie: "Thanks.."
Fiona: "Thanks…"
Lucy: "Hey shorty… I want a coffee too.."
Marcus: "Huh?… Shorty, I'm your boss… you're not getting one."
Lucy: "ughh.."
Sophie: "Just give her one already…"
Fiona: "Yeah… give her one…"
Marcus: "mmm?…"
Fiona: "The Marcus I know would never refuse a request."
Marcus: "Oh… okay…"
He gave her one…
Lucy: "Thanks… hehehe… I haven't had coffee in a long time… but… why is it so hot?"
Sophie: "That's a device called a liquid heater… it was made for detectives and seekers so we can have warm drinks…"
Lucy: "Oh… that's cool.."
Marcus: "mmm…"
Sophie: "Not just that, you can even brew the coffee or tea inside it… just press the bottle and choose the ingredient… since it's a machine, it has the flavor stored, so it can make it like real coffee… of course you can also use real ingredients if you want.."
Fiona: "Really practical… mine is broken.."
Sophie: "Hehehe… mine too, it's still being repaired.."
Fiona: "Hmmm…"
They took a sip…
Lucy: "Hmm?"
Melina: "hmm?"
Lucy looked at Melina…
Lucy: "Hey what about the poor girl?... isn't she getting anything to drink?... or Violet?"
Melina: "huh?"
Marcus: "oh… I didn't think about that… coffee isn't good for younger people… Violet is fine, but Melina…"
Sophie: "Hmmm."
Melina: "It's okay… I'm not thirsty.."
Fiona: "hmmm… Marcus… that toy, that little bird… isn't that from Dwayne?"
Sophie: "oh… yeah.."
Marcus: "Yeah… he gave it to me once…"
Fiona: "hmmm.."
Sophie: "I see.."
(meanwhile)
Sevasti: "Remy… you're probably wondering how it's possible that the government never punished me…"
Remy: "hmm?"
Sevasti: "Very simple… because I have them under control… politicians… are corrupt… desire… money… power…"
He showed him a room…
Remy: "ughhuh!"
Several tied-up women…
Sevasti: "Do you understand now?…"
Remy: "ughh… are… those… pleasure servants?"
Sevasti: "Servants… hahahahaha… yes, that's right… these are women I've collected… drug addicts, homeless, or women without relatives… that way I could control them… and if anyone threatens me… I threaten to expose them…"
Remy: "You're a pig!"
Sevasti: "I am not a pig… I am a master!… I am the one who controls this empire… the media… belongs to me too… what do you think, why the media never reports about me?... who reports about themselves?…"
Remy: "ughh…"
Sevasti: "Hehehehehe exactly… the media is controlled by people who belong to me… am I a genius or what!… I will never get caught… and thanks to human desires… I just give them the women they want… and they keep quiet… young fresh flesh… unlike the old women they have… most of the girls here are still very young…"
Remy: "ughh…"
Sevasti: "The only ones who annoy me are the Dark Umbrella people… they follow me wherever I go… that's why I decided to talk to the politicians… look…"
He called someone…
Sevasti: "Hello… Mr. Mayor?.."
Mayor of Titia: "Yes?"
Sevasti: "I heard there are several Dark Umbrella people in Titia… restrain them… capture them… and hand them over to me…"
Mayor: "I can't do that… that organization is officially recognized…"
Sevasti: "What was that?… should I inform others about your affairs?"
Mayor: "ugh."
Sevasti: "…you are a drug addict…"
Mayor: "ugh.."
Sevasti: "And you took one of the women here, Mr. Mayor… do you really want to risk it?... hmm?"
Mayor: "…okay… I'll see what I can do… I'll send my people…"
Sevasti: "Thank you very much…"
(meanwhile)
Sophie: "Tretia hmm.."
Fiona: "Is Tretia similar to the capital? Restlov?"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Violet: "No… Tretia is different… it's more… old-fashioned…"
Fiona: "hmm?"
Violet: "Like in knight times…"
Fiona: "Oh… I see…"
Sophie: "I see.."
Fiona: "mhm.."
Marcus: "Isn't Tretia the city that even welcomes cursed ones and Stellaron?"
Violet: "Yes… actually it's very open… extremely open…"
The attendant came to them…
Attendant: "Hello?... can I help you?"
Fiona: "hmm?... no… is something wrong?"
Attendant: "Dear guests… as I see, you belong to Dark Umbrella, right?"
Violet: "hmm?…"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Yes…"
Attendant: "I see…"
Suddenly several armed people appeared…
Guards: "Hands up.."
Fiona: "..(still?)"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Marcus: "Something's not right…"
Guard: "Hands up.."
They raised their hands…
Sophie: "Hey what is this… do you realize this is illegal?"
Fiona: "Leave it Sophie… they're doing their job…"
Guard: "Search them."
They searched them…
Sophie: "ughh.."
Fiona: "I don't think you need to touch my butt during a search… don't you think?.."
Guard: "Be quiet.."
Fiona: "Okay… idiot… pervert… creep…"
Guard: "What did you say?"
Fiona: "Creep.. pervert… lust freak…"
Guard: "ghhh.."
He pointed the weapon at her…
Fiona: "That toy doesn't scare me…"
Guard: "Toy?.. what…"
Fiona: "Hmm… (Crane… can you hear me?)"
Crane: "(Yes)…"
Fiona: "(Buy us time)…"
Crane: "(Huh?)"
Fiona: "(I think I have a plan)…"
Crane: "Okay.."
He came out…
Crane: "Hey… hello?!"
Guard: "It speaks… the crow speaks…"
The guards looked at him… at that moment Fiona turned off the light.
(Click!)
Guard: "Hey.."
Fiona: "Go… leave… I'll take care of them."
Sophie: "What?"
Fiona: "Get them out… get Melina and Violet out… Marcus follow them and you Lucy…"
Lucy: "hmmm… okay…"
They left…
Guard: "Turn the lights on.."
As soon as the light came back, Fiona jumped out the window upward.
Guard: "ugh… follow her.."
They climbed up…
Fiona: "ughh… wow… it's really fast… not such a good idea… sometimes I forget only one leg works for me…"
Guard: "Hands up!"
Fiona: "Oh dear… these officers have more courage than expected…"
She raised her hands…
Guard: "Ghhh…"
Fiona: "Officer, I recommend lowering your head… unless you want to die…"
Guard: "What… ugh!"
There was a tunnel… they fell into it…
(Swoosh!)
Guard: "ghh."
Fiona: "ghhh…"
Guard: "Damn!"
The tunnel ended, they stood up…
Guard: "tsss… you could take advantage and let me die…"
Fiona: "I am an officer… just like you…"
Guard: "ghhh.."
Fiona: "Why are you doing this?... you know we are from Dark Umbrella… what you're doing is a crime…"
Guard: "I just follow my orders…"
Fiona: "From whom?"
Guard: "Ghhh…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Guard: "I'm sorry… nothing against you…"
Fiona: "Nothing against you either, officer… but my friends are waiting for me… and because I felt… from your eye movements and the way you speak… that you are a kind person… I lured you here…"
Guard: "What?"
Fiona: "You're trembling… you know I did nothing wrong… you tremble because you know… it's wrong to kill me…"
Guard: "What… how did you know we planned to kill you?"
Fiona: "Hahhh… an officer would never aim like that unless they see the person as dangerous… normally you don't use weapons but tasers… also you stared at Melina… which means you knew… you were supposed to kill a child…"
Guard: "ughhh…"
Fiona: "And one more thing… those people with you are not officers… but criminals…"
Guard: "huh!"
Fiona: "In Dehl… where I used to work… there were people called COs… Criminal Officers… they always had a real officer watching them… so they only killed the target… that's what you are…"
Guard: "ghhhh…"
Fiona: "And I lured you here… because I won't kill you…"
Guard: "What?…"
Fiona: "But the others… since they are not officers… Sophie already noticed… they are dead…"
