"Items..." C never took her eyes off Ace, instead she reached deep into the pockets of her cloak and pulled out two items. "They're safe." She held them out for everyone to see, and it was as she said, the witch's heart and the USB were both in perfect condition.

Riley didn't say much and Harper focused on the untouched food on his plate. 

Ace and Jasper were already talking about the next mission, the pink haired girl had left for the kitchen, and Inadi was talking about the list. He understood bits and pieces of what was being said, but for the most part, he was still coming to grips with the news, still taking it all in. 

Were they making the right decision? Yes, he'd follow his friends no matter where they went, but to be frank, he trusted Songbird a lot more than he trusted all the hooded figures put together. He thought about all the nobodies that had helped them and shuddered. IF this was an ambush then that would be it for them. Yes, the hooded figures looked and acted harmless, but weren't they the ones who killed the witch? [i]They were criminals for a reason.[/i]

Harper felt Inadi's hand on his shoulder and he snapped out his little trance. "The list?"

Nympha was talking to Sacha, but the words just flew over his head.

C nodded in Inadi's direction. "Show us the list."

Riley narrowed her eyes but Harper pushed himself to his feet and walked up to the girl in the cloak. "You're not getting your hands on it," he stated matter-of-factly. C nodded her head, her expression as apathetic as always. It unnerved Harper because he couldn't tell if she was angry or scheming or anything. "Here," he held it between both hands and showed the girl the list.

C held up the USB and as soon as the list sensed the object's presence new words began to appear.

'THE BLACK PEARL'

Oddly that was all the list stated and nothing else appeared beneath the next item. Luke laughed. "Well, whaddya know! It's the last item!" A small smile tugged on the corner's of C's lips but before Luke could celebrate he paused and let out a low whistle. "The black pearl, huh? Oh boy, Nums isn't going to like this." He looked at C, his expression distraught, "so we're heading down, right?"

C nodded her head. "We're going underwater."
