I arrived at the cafe a bit early. I
figured whoever this was would recognize me and approach me. So, I
waited, and sure enough, this girl sat across from me a few minutes
later.
“Hello, Kallaway!” she said.
“And you are?” I asked.
“Cecilia Zeak,”she said.” think
you and I might be able to help each other.”
“And what information do you have
that could help me?” I asked.
“You're looking for Gordon Tayler,
aren't you?” she asked.
“I know where he is, I just don't
know how to get there,” I said.
“I bet his lackeys do,”she said.
“And I just so happen to know where one of them is!”
“Where!?” I demanded. This was
exactly the lead I needed.
“Not so fast!” she said. “Before
I tell you where he is, you tell me where she is.”
She handed me a photo of a girl I've
never seen before.
“And how would I know where she is?”
I asked.
“You're a Scion, aren't you?” she
asked.
“I suppose so,” I said.
“Then you should have like, super
eyes or something,”she said. “This girl is somewhere in this
city, so those eyes of yours should be able to locate her.”
“Fine,” I sighed. “I'll give it a
shot, but don't expect any results.”
I don't use the Vision's eyes very
much. I honestly don't like to. I'm not used to being able to see ten
times as far as other people, or being able to see through walls. But
I used them anyway, and scanned the city. I tried focusing on every
face I could, looking for one that matched the picture. I found some
close matches, but no one identical. Until I noticed some one running
through an alley. She was acting pretty panicked, glancing over her
shoulders. She eventually calmed down, seeming to realize that
whatever was chasing her was gone now. I got a look at her face, and
sure enough, it was exactly who I was looking for.
“Found her,” I said. “Not far
off, either. But before I tell you where she is, where is Gordon's
little friend.”
“His name is Rictor,” she said.
“Former servant of the Glitch, wheres a black mask with a scar
shaped mark over the left eye. He and one of Gordon's other mooks are
based in a warehouse a few miles away. Here's the address.”
She gave me a card with an address on
it. I gave her the location of the other girl in exchange and left.
Okay, Rictor. Looks like you're the one
who's gonna help me get to the Board.
