Eli looked at his watch, he was running a few minutes late for the meeting with Kiera. He sighed before saying anything. "Well, I need to get going on this foolhardy sally." His friend spoke up soon after. "It's a shame that she didn't listen to you and let the Reapers handle it." His friend said with a half cocked grin. The two were pretty close, living as roommates and close confidants. Eli told him a lot but he never said anything about his connection to the Reapers an Scorn. It was a really big source of income for the both of them. His friend knew Eli well enough to know that he was hiding something. Eli's utter disgust was more than to let him know something was eating at him whenever he came home with a giant pile of money. His friend could two and two together well enough. "I never said it was the Reapers or Scorn." Eli said as he got from his chair looking out of the window. "Get ready to move everything to the next safe house. Kiera has been here enough over the past week for someone to get a bead on us." This was one of many that he had all over the city. All of them were fully furnished and stocked. Everything they needed could be packed up and moved in a couple of hours. This wasn't the nicest safe house they had but it was one of the nicer one. "I'll have everything moved before you get back. How about the penthouse for the next month or so?" "Yeah that'll work. Let's go see what bag of shit I have to hold." Eli picked up his metal staff, this one was short, maybe five feet or so. It was without a doubt his favorite. Made of damascus steel, it was beautiful and elegant. It has no place in combat but Eli could never help himself from taking it out. "She's hiding something from you, know you. Really hot though. You should try not to fuck this one up dude. She's starting to like you." Eli's friend said while tossing a dirty shirt at Eli's face. "Fuck off, jack ass!" Eli let out a chuckle as he jumped out of a third story window and flew off, his staff under his feet. In less than ten minutes he was at his destination. "Dulcinea, its been an age!" Eli shouted as he landed. "Shall we sally forth and wait to make international headlines defending and ultimately destroying billions of dollars in history?"
