Chapter 12 - The Wise Owl Laughs At The Crowd(2)

Aspera, confused asks "Who is this guy and why does he know who you are? He's so passive aggressive? Is he going to fight us? Or is he trying to talk, im los-"

Osprey exhales "He's Mr. N's biggest failure-"

Well one of them atleast…

Aspera- "What HOW, I'm an elite guard for this organization? He's not listed in the history books as a former general of any sort-"

As Mori takes note "Elite guard? What elite guard has to announce that they're an elite guard?" 'This bitch is a joke?'

Osprey: "We don't talk about him none of us do"

Aspera: "Are you being serious? If I knew who he was- I-If we knew his abilities we could have prepared."

As they both ignore Aspera the two men stare each other dead in the eye.

Osprey: "So you've finally come to kill me. I know it was only a matter of time. Life these days has been terrible. Maybe dying to you wouldn't be so bad afterall."

Mori smiles for a split second apart of him wishes he could speak, just be himself for a moment but he can't.

Mori: "You're not the type to just roll over and die so please don't give me that false hope."

"Zinn" Mori's team-mate looks onwards at the destruction as he walks in the building flexing his 3 Section Bo-Spear.

Mori let out an irritated mumble. "Didn't I tell you lot to stay back until I'm finished?"

Zinn ignored him completely, brows pulling together in confusion."Two Elite Guards, just randomly sitting in a restaurant? Off duty, are we?" He paused, his expression twisting with sudden realization.

Zinn contd "Hold on… don't tell me Mr. N has sunk so low he's letting women run his army now. How inspiring. Truly progressive. I'm sure the non-gendered adore him for it."

Zinn's phone vibrates in his pocket, Calesxis.

Zinn pulls it out, glaring at the name on the screen before answering with a sharp flick of his thumb.

Zinn looks at Mori as he shows him the phone "Of course this creep calls now. Sits half a mile away with his fancy gadgets soaking up every word then pretends he needs an update straight from me directly. Unreal."

He paces a step, voice dripping with annoyance.

Zinn:

"You know, if you're gonna spy on me like a rat, at least have the guts to stay quiet while you do it."

He pauses, listening to the silence on the other end, a crooked grin twisting his lips.

Zinn:

"Go on. Say whatever you're so desperate to hear me say to your face instead of your hidden mics."

Calexsis: "The base is rather pathetic for someone with that much money. It makes sense as to why it slipped past us before on our previous search through this city. 

However I was spying on them earlier, alongside the "Gift" There was a misgendered male, I suppose it's the Serial Killer Siegfreed."

It perfectly matches the description.

Osprey's eyes open wide. "With Liam? Impossible I know I wasnt paying attention but there's no possible way he could have slipped me." 'The sounds the voices the cameras? We picked up nothing??' Osprey thinks to himself.

Aspera's mouth opens like a surprised pikachu. "Oh.."

Mori sighs "Your work is getting sloppy these days Os. You sacrificed so much for Mr. N and yet it seems like you don't even want to be there anymore. What's the point?"

But I get it. The man is scary. He will drown a entire city underwater and everyone would blame the civilians for not being able to swim.

Mori looked at Zinn. "And I'm not being sarcastic. Mr. N's is.... unusual, a form a evil that must not exist."
