Lucina Cobbs/Benjamin Daniels/Sláine 'Sloan' Sirona/Veezarus
Lucina was not a happy camper. Her head was pounding from all the noise the constant cheering and laughter with no sign of stopping anytime soon. How could they be so happy about possibly ruining their nation or any other nation, with whatever the Kennedy Manifest Was? How could they become so morally corrupt and insane? Nausea and dread settled into her stomach as the truck took sharp turns and bumped along uneven terrain for what seemed like hours. Her phone buzzed in her pocket and she eagerly pulled it out reading the painfully too short message. ‘At least he bothered to respond…wait a minute.’ She reread the message again, how could he already know where she was going? Could he have found out already? The thought of him chipping her phone made her feel uncomfortable but she tried not to dwell on it.
The truck came to a sudden halt, causing some of the standing goons to fall flat on their asses erupting more laughter out of the group. The door to the back swung open and everyone stood at attention Luci fumbled to put her phone in the breast pocket of her shirt and stood just as a commanding officer strolled in. “Listen up men! With the quick success of this mission, the Boss has granted you leave from your duties for the rest of the evening.” Whispers and chatter start up as the excitement in the room grew and the commander sighed and stomped his foot, gaining the attention once more, “Thank you. Now at 2000 hours the Boss is addressing the entire HQ about our next agenda so it must be very important, missing it is not an option we will be scanning your tablets upon arrival. Dismissed.” He left and the goons rose and filed out in a straight line with Luci mushed in the middle.
The HQ was nothing more but an old huge warehouse completely isolated from the city out in the middle of nowhere. A sinking feeling settled into Luci as she looked around at what seemed like miles of endless trees, escaping herself didn’t seem such a viable option anymore. Once they got inside, it was like she entered an alternate universe full of monitors escalators and elevators with all the latest technology. The group split and some of the men asked Luci/Anglea if she wanted to go to the display room with them, she lowered her face and mumbled about being tired and briskly walked away. Now she needed to find the commons or dorms, whatever the hell they had in this place but she was lost and didn’t know where to start looking. Everyone around her rushed by seemingly knowing where they were going when her mind remembered that everyone there had a tablet. She felt around in the large tool belt that she’d taken off of Angela and pulled out a mini tablet. Once she powered it on she was relieved there was no password involved and immediately pulled up the map app and typed in the search engine ‘my quarters’ and started following the directions completely oblivious to her surroundings.
Sloan sipped the Cherry Cola through her crazy straw as she spun around in her desktop chair having a mini powwow session with herself. “It’s odd that I got a call from Kaito’s kid instead of Kaito or one of his people…this must be personal not Yakuza.” She did not find it a bit strange that she was talking to herself, she pretty much lived a solitary lifestyle the only human interaction being conference calls and stalking peoples cellphones and other technogical devices. Kaito had her tracking his kid ages ago as she spun to face one of her many monitors as she accessed her Yakuza files and entered Kaito’s personal file that she created for him. “Akira hm? Let’s see what you’re doing.”
‘He has his smartphone with him… he’s moving very fast so he must be on that motorcycle that he put gas in this morning…he used his credit card 2 hours ago on a pack of gum….his heart rate and pulse are slightly elevated ensuing that he’s nervous or anxious about something. Hm, for a while he was very close to this Lucina person’s smartphone as well.’ Ah she loved smartphones, they emanate so much data that they intertwine with other data from other things and it was so easy to get into their cameras so you can practically see everything in another’s life. And people are always near their phones never separated from them. Akira must have had no idea who the hell she was or what exactly is usually expected of her when she tracks a person down. Sloan was bored and had nothing to do so she decided to throw the kid a bone and started tracking the girl…Sloan Style.
Her smartphone is very close to her…good. “Ooo! She has an Iphone!” Those were so easy to get into it was ridiculous. Plus the iphone had very…interesting features to it. The fact that it tracks your heartbeat, pulse, and brainwaves up to ten feet away and that once you put your blood signature in its data it’ll only find your body. They claimed it was for those with medical conditions but really they wanted to literally blend phone and person together as one. ’Pulse and heart rate are elevated and from the phones charts it’s been high for about two hours, and her blood pressure is slowly climbing. That’s not good. No credit or debit uses in the past week…odd for an 18 year old who got accepted into UC a few weeks ago. Has remained in the same place for several days just leaving it today, well this seems fun.’ Sloan smirks and hacks into her front camera only to be met by darkness she grumbles and goes to the back camera getting a clear image of some sort of office as she leaned back and watched the show.
Benjamin felt like he was dying a slow painful death. He’d left behind is love at the fucking library and couldn’t go back for her. The damn media was all over the place along with the mercenaries shadowing the hostages 24/7 according to the news. He was standing in the main lobby of Jackdawls lair his eyes glued to his tablet screen scanning the news looking for her blonde hair in the crowd. Nothing. She wasn’t there, he’d know if she was. He ran a hand through his hair and let out a frustrated sigh as his anxiety grew by the second. He was like a bomb ready to explode. More so he couldn’t leave yet. Jack apparently was going to need him in their next mission or some shit. Looking for someone to blame he spotted Veezarus across the way and marched over and got up in his face, “Hey asshole. Jackdawl still hasn’t paid me for this job yet. I’m not doing another one until he does.”
The lizard glared at him and pushed him away from his face, the little shit was smart enough to not counter back.
“He didn’t pay you the twenty thousand yet?”
“No, we made another arrangement. He’d spare the blonde nymphs life and give her to me.”
“Did you get her as we left?”
“How could I?! You all just opened fire on the entire place and practically threw me into a truck and drove away before I could! I require my payment!”
“You didn’t do shit. You’re lucky we’re going to pay you-”
A familiar smell wafted past him and made him stop his sentence. The ocean, powder and lavender, he had smelled that before. Once when he was with Daniels, the shit was all over him and another when he was taking out Victor…the girl! He smirked and turned his head towards the source a little blonde in a female uniform.
“Well looks like you don’t know her as well as you think.”
“How dare you say that! I love her she is my everything and-”
“Well she sneaked on one of the trucks in a uniform and walked by you without you even knowing.”
“….What?”
“…Right there walking up the stairs. Holding a tablet in her hands.”
“How dare she run from me…Excuse me, I need to get her.”
“Allow me to assist you since we were late on our payment…”
Luci was almost to Angela’s room. She smiled in triumph that she was able to do it without getting lost once! A buzzing in her breast pocket startled her as she turned the corner and entered a long narrow hallway; her phone hadn’t lite up or anything so she tried her best to ignore it. As the buzzing persisted she found herself getting aroused by the vibration of her entire left breast. She felt her nipples tighten and brush against the fabric of her bra with every step she took quickening her breathing. It had been too long since she felt like this. Strangely enough Akira crossed her mind and his muscular body made her face grow even redder as she stumbled down the hall. The buzzing stopped leaving her flustered and slightly wet. Trying to maintain some sort of dignity she quickened her stride.
Luci’s world came smashing down for the third time that day when a rough hand painfully gripped her shoulder and threw her up against the wall and she slid down to the floor clutching her head. Through blurry vision she looked up at her attackers. A familiar blonde head and voice made her stomach sink, “How could you…leave me? My little nymph…” He flipped her over onto her back and grabbed her shoulders, surely bruising them and shook her violently shouting this time, “HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME!” Luci whimpered feeling tears pour into her eyes, “Please…stop…” He chuckled darkly, “Oh I’ll stop when I feel you learned your lesson.”
Veezarus yawned loudly and side stepped the two on the floor,
“Well Ben you got your payment.”
“Yes I did thank you.”
“Try not to leave too big of a mess in your quarters now, and remember Jackdawl’s speech, you got to be there too.”
“Fine fine fine.”
Luci looked at the man dead in the eye her body features pleading for him to help her but he just winked and walked away from the two, “Have fun…” Benjamin then lifted Luci up in his arms bridal style and began the walk to his room.
Sloan stared blankly at the screen as her cherry lollipop threatened to fall out of her gaping mouth, “And I will never stalk client’s phones again.” She was about to exit out of the camera when her guilt began to creep up on her. Her curiosity had already been banging on her head from the get go as she compiled the video feed into a message and she sent it to Akira with a message,
-Looks like your girlfriend is in trouble. Don’t let her die this is too good of a drama :D
