[@Gilgex] [/center][hr][hr]Eddie nodded, understanding what Sly had meant. She very much doubted that one of the masks could kill her while she was sleeping, especially without Mercury noticing. The boy was overly protective--she wouldn't have been surprised if he was monitoring her pulse at all moments. 

Her mind did flicker, however, to the day she met him. The moment when Mercury informed her that one day, he'd probably go after her. It sent a shiver down her spine, and she attempted to shove the memory aside, to bury it deep, and never again think of it. 

[color=99ccff]"So...that's it? Find some magic cork, stick it in him, and we're good?"[/color] Eddie asked. 

The simplest option would probably be to just keep on feeding him. Though, that would become expensive. The next option, then, would be to use her connections in the scientific community to find Tia, and steal whatever it was she took back. Given that Tia only remembered Eddie as being an assistant, contact from a researcher (Fairfax) would set off very little alarms.

Of course, Eddie realized that her plans tended to be judged harshly by the masks.
