But part of the deal with Tori had been to tell her employees [i]I'm sorry[/i], so she went all out in order to honor that agreement. When that mysterious place was behind Jane a thought struck her like a lightning bolt: She should pretend for now, that she didn’t know [b][color=fff200]Edge [/color][/b]had send another operative. It might prove useful to drop that A-bomb at a later time. As she had returned to the founders of [b][color=fff200]Edge[/color][/b], she had expected excitement over the discovery of the Supernaturals' secret hideout. [i]The Grand Train Station[/i], as she had already dubbed it on the way back. However, that was far from the case. Mark, one of the founders, merely put the coordinates in an envelope and placed it on his expensive desk. The suit he wore also seemed to have been ironed a thousand times into perfection; not one single fold showed. Jane always preferred the other guy, Rick. He seemed a lot less pretentious, unfortunately he once again kept quiet; merely standing at the window of the office, looking out. However his strait back seemed to lower itself slightly when Jane asked: [color=f26522]“You two didn’t send me to Angel’s Embrace to die, did you?”[/color] [color=00aeef]“Of course not, why would you-“[/color] But Jane did not let Michael speak: [color=f26522]“Tori was a hell of a lot more dangerous than you warned me about. I’m not sure what kind of predator she is, but a predator that girl… that woman is!”[/color] [color=00aeef]“And now that you have been close to her, do you recognize she will be a threat?”[/color] For this, Jane hesitated. [color=f26522]“Not for the moment, no. Once she realize all the things, she takes for granted, aren’t gonna last, then... who knows.”[/color] With an arrogant stare, Michael nodded. [color=00aeef]“Very well. Normally I would prefer you were in a 24 hour quarantine, until we are sure Tori haven’t affected your mind, but since we know you will greet that proposal with your middle finger, [/color][b][color=fff200]Edge [/color][/b][color=00aeef]instead wants to show you something."[/color] Once again Michael had turned the place into a movie theater and presented a new show on his ultra-sized Tv-screen. Luckily this time the plot was not revolving around how much Jane had messed up. It seemed to be a recording. The footage was rather low quality, but good enough to make out what was happening: [i]*Grocery store.* *Two people had been auto-corrected to seem slightly more sharp on film. A woman and a man.* *They were merely putting something on the counter and paying for it.* *Then left.*[/i] [color=f26522]“Alright, what in the mother of fuck am I looking at?”[/color] Jane wanted to know, sitting on the coffee table, as if it was a chair. [color=00aeef]“Two very dangerous people. Willa and Benjamin. They were at the Theater Incidence, working for the Scientists. They really made them selves known fighting some hobos, and the camera feed here gave us a good look at them. We have reason to believe they have assembled enough information about you to narrow down the search.”[/color] Jane only now got a very real look of concern. It was as if Rick had waited for that moment before opening his mouth. [color=6ecff6]“Jane?.. If they really can narrow down the search they might learn your name - your real name. And if they can do that, they can-“[/color] [color=f26522]“Lisa!” [/color]Jane interrupted and thought about the only bright, beautiful thing in her life. She stood up, her dirty shoes now directly on the table. [color=6ecff6]“Yes. But we are [b][color=fff200]Edge[/color][/b], so of course this footage is from today, and not even six blocks from here. And we’ve followed Willa and Benjamin's movements through each camera back to their motel. That is where you will find them.”[/color] [color=f26522]“Wau,"[/color] Jane mumbled, [color=f26522]“who would have thought you cared this much for me?”[/color] She put on a fake smile the best she could, while still worrying about Lisa. [color=6ecff6]“We care about our operatives. We always have. And we thought you might be most comfortable handling this yourself.”[/color] [color=f26522]“You thought right. I’ll walk up to them, and hell will follow with me. Now… give me everything you have on these two.”[/color] [color=00aeef]“Three,”[/color] Michael corrected and jumped back into the conversation. [color=00aeef]“A dragon follows them.”[/color] [color=f26522]“Do I look the least bit scared?”[/color] When saying it, Jane didn’t even blink. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 minutes after Jane had rushed out of the door, Rick could finally be frank with Michael.[color=6ecff6] “You think it’s wise to manipulate her feelings like this? Jane is far from stupid.”[/color] [color=00aeef]“Agree. She is a visionary, a rebel, and when she wants to: a born leader. Yet when it’s about her girlfriend, she instantly becomes blind. We need that; we need her to keep busy for now.”[/color] Rick took off his glasses and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief before speaking: [color=6ecff6]“Yes, and if Jane ever suspects what we are really doing, she will turn this building to ash in an instant and us along with it. And let us not forget: Half of all our Supernatural agents follow Jane and her vision, not our.” [/color] Michael joined Rick at the window, and for a moment he just stared down at the tiny people below. [color=00aeef]“Relax my old friend. We have the location of [i]the [/i]refuge for Supernaturals. Soon this city will be ours and absolutely no one will see it coming. They will all just go about their little ant lives until it’s too late.”[/color]
