[IC] Rescue and Revenge (Katherin and Raptra)

[KatherinWinter]

"And how exactly would I do that Wyn?" Roxy challenged. She couldn't track people she couldn't see. Her job had been to gather information by spying. Which generally meant sitting in some tiny space where no one could see her listening and watching.

"Well, you would be wrong college boy. My training is in fighting and spying not technically." Roxy informed him. Erasing it would only make people suspicious. They'd just have even to hope whatever was on the computer wasn't enough for them to build the device.

"Let's go." She growled when she estimated there time was up. She got up and headed towards the door. They needed to get moving.

[Raptra]

He scoffed dramatically at her sudden display of defensiveness, but this time, he had a good reason to assume what he had just stated. "Well, excuse me for thinking that from the way you knew they were approaching the bunker yesterday. Maybe you've already forgotten how you practically dragged me out... of..."

He trailed off when she suddenly stood up and made a beeline for the exit, before adding an indignant mutter under his breath. "I guess someone hasn't slept enough..."

He gave a subtle sigh in slight frustration as he pocketed the chip, and getting up himself, he nodded to the clerk with a word of thanks before leaving right after his disgruntled companion. As they both got back into their vehicle, Wyn finally thought it safe to let loose the burning question at the back of his mind ever since they had seen what was on the disk.

"Alright sunshine, what the heck was that symbol, and exactly how much trouble are we in right now?!"

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy ignored Wyn as she headed out to the van. They needed to change cars. But she wanted something that wouldn't be missed. She scanned the parking lot. She didn't see anything that would work. They needed an abandoned car. She hoped into the driver's seat.

"It's called God's Eye." She explained as she started the vehicle. She needed a Walmart or mall. They would have what she needed. They might get luckily on a side road but she preferred not to take chances. "It has the ability to control every camera. Well at least the automated ones. It basically gave whoever has it the ability to find anything and anyone in the world." It was a scary thing to think about. No one should have that kind of power. It was dangerous.

[Raptra]

Wyn rolled the chip between his fingers, his fascinated gaze never leaving the object as he listened to Roxy's explanation. The surrealness of this new knowledge far exceeded that of any previous encounter within the last couple of days. To find out that he had unknowingly been carrying such a powerful item around with him for years sent a chill down his spine. How was it possible that such a thing even existed? What else had his biological father kept from him? And what was he hoping he would do with such power by leaving it with him? He kept a rare, eerie silence for a long while as he processed this new information.

"I- I see..." he eventually stuttered out. "I mean, if you're serious, then this is like huge huge. I'd say it's pretty sweet that we have it with us, though, not so much that your dad's after us because of it. If it's this dangerous, we should destroy it, but... you still need something from your dad, don't you sunshine?"

[KatherinWinter]

"It's HUGE. It's dangerous. I thought about destroying it but even if we did it in front of my father he wouldn't believe it." Roxy answered honestly. She knew her father. He wouldn't accept anything but the God's Eye. Nothing good could come from him having it though. It would give him too much power but she hadn't found an alternative. "Even if I wasn't trying to buy my freedom that wouldn't be an option." She wasn't sure that giving her father would accomplish her goal. She wished there was another solution but there wasn't one.

[Raptra]

At her response, Wyn let out a long, audible sigh that conveyed deep thought accompanied by a hint of conviction. "Then we won't destroy it... and neither will we trade it in. The only other option we have is to use it against him. How? We're going to need a little more time to figure that one out."

Destroying the chip would have been the right, but in their situation, also stupidest thing to do. It would seal his fate as the target of this illegal organization's vengeance. In addition, he really wanted to help Roxy out of her current fix. His unlikely companion had been born into a life she had never asked for, and so had he, if he were to put it that way. Ideally, getting to access the chip's full potential would enable them to hold it like a command emblem over her father's personnel and strip him of his power, but he knew that they were far from being able to even test that theory out.

[KatherinWinter]

"I have no idea how to use the damn thing. I'm not sure how knowing where he is would help." Roxy was sure Wynn could figure out how to use it. At least the basics. She just wasn't sure how they could use that. Her father hadn't gotten his hands dirty in years. It wasn't like watching him would give them something the cops could use. "I guess the first step will be seeing if we can even use the damn thing. We need a place where we can stay for a few days. Someplace with internet." The problem was she didn't know where would be safe. They would need at least a couple days. They had a slight lead but they hadn't lost her father's men yet.

[Raptra]

The frustration in her words induced a sinking feeling within him as he pondered over their possible options. She was right in the sense that practically neither of them knew what they were doing. The end of this journey was uncertain, but they would only have the opportunity to deal with whatever awaited them then if they played their cards right throughout. It would be best to cross that bridge when they came to it, and take things one step at a time. Someplace to stay with an internet connection... the first person that popped into his mind was his roommate back at Bayshore University who inherited a lodge near the national park at the border they had crossed to get to the city they were currently in. They had gone through a whole lot of trouble not to involve anyone else in this mess, but with the lack of resources on Roxy's end, it would seem that they were out of alternatives.

"I... have a contact," he offered, speaking up after a noticeable pause. "I know it isn't ideal to reach out to other people for help, but it might be the best option for us to have the time and place we need to figure this out. We'd have to take a detour, a safe route back to the border for this, but I'm going to have to make a call for this. I'd rather not have to use the mobile phone with have in case it can be tracked, so let's make a quick stop at the next public payphone."
