[i]A plan had already been put into place to deal with the fool, and he would not pose a threat to the operations for long.[/i]
Martin wasn't sure if he found this insulting or endearing.
That the titan mind was so happy with his little hidey hole, that he completely missed Martin's message.

[b]Been there, done that.[/b]

Stein managed to write himself into Mithias's mind. Looked like he didn't notice the massive tracks Martin left in there.
Ending it right now would be so simple. Take the memory of Jack from his brothers mind erase the last chance to return for ever.
Martin chose not to. Purposefully ending stories wasn't his MO. Fucking with people however, was.
So instead Martin started to mess with the strands of data in the program running trough Mithias's mind called Stein.
He made sure to only alter superficial stuff, minor things. Eye color, tone of voice, the way light caught on his glasses.

Before Martin left Mithias and Stein to their own devices he altered one more tiny thing.
He fixed the gap in his brother's mental defense, the one their father had been using for years, the one stein had found.
No one could get in or out without his brother's permission.
Not just a favor to Mithias, but a safety lock on the titan mind as well.

Cedric nearly reached the SOLDIER encampment.
Glad to have made it in one piece he prepared himself to go in. He once again checked the package under his arm.
It was still undamaged. Good.
This was going to be dangerous, though probably not as dangerous as his approach to Magnus.
Then again, if this SOLDIER division held vampire troops they might smell Magnus on him, and that would be a death sentence.
Cedric took a small swig of the flask on his hip, it filled him with energy and courage. It also gave his breath a heavy honey scent, hopefully disguising the traces of his new 'friends'.

A few hundred meters down the road, on his path he saw a girl. She seemed to be sound asleep, though Cedric wasn't sure.
She was pretty, she was probably from SOLDIER, she was probably safer than barging into the compound uninvited.
"Hello, there lass. Lovely eve'nin right?"
