Walter pov.
As I stepped out of the shadows, making my way to my office, when one of the interns stopped me and said sir.Here is a letter for you.No return address. I took it from them and said thank you.I walked into my office and sat down at my desk.Looked at the letter and noticed that it had a flaming skull stamped over. The seal.
It was.
The symbol of the Queen's guard A, highly trained, highly specialized unit. Each one of their soldiers more dangerous than a 100 tear 1 operators. They also had special skill interrogation, sabotage, infiltration and were ruthless as they came. They were also dead except for 1. Who else is going to be more capable of protecting God's wife after all.
Each one of them had earned their stripes on the battlefield.
After all, I'm one of them, the only 1 that is still living. I am the second in command. I reached down to the desk. Picked up the envelope and opened it. It said was, meet at the park. Midnight, come alone. well, I knew this was trouble. They never, ever contacted me unless it was trouble. The fact that they said sent me a letter implicated that. This was an issue that had to be handled in the living world.
I looked over at the clock at 10 PM. Yes, so I grabbed my overcoat off the hook. Put my hat on my head and headed for the garage. As I was making my way down the hallway. Penelope stopped me and asked. Where are you headed this late at night? I said I've got a meeting. Oh, I'll come with you. No, this is something I have to do alone. I headed down to the garage. Got in my beat up old 2001 F350.
And headed for Rochester.
I drove this old truck to keep incognito.
When I got to Durant Eastman Park, I parked the vehicle along the lake and walked down to a park bench.
Looked at my watch. ten minutes. Tell my contact was supposed to meet me.
I watched as Lake onterrio Waters. Rolled against the shore. I watch the waves come in and out, thinking, you know, sometimes I just want to walk away from it. All not have to be the inter dimensional guard that I am, but if I'm not here to do it, who is?
Man walked over and sat down on the bench. He was also wearing a long black coaat and wide-brimmed hat.
I looked over and said Percy.
No flaming skull today. He just chuckled and said yeah. I don't need to scare a jogger this late at night.
Besides, this is just a friendly chat between old friends, bullshit I said you and I both know there is no such thing as a friendly chat between us. There is a problem, isn't there,
Where is Maximus, anyway. I said. Percy replied. He took half the men to secure the prison.There's been a breach.ah I see. now I know why you guys contacted me. So what's the game plan?You gonna send me on my way with?Here's a possible location and try to limit interaction between the target and the general population. Percy looked at me and said normally that would be the case," but they're already working with the concordance. shit You've got to be fucking kidding me , Percy. I said. Orders are from the Queen herself. Either kill or capture. Everyone involved burn the entire nest. Do not let any of them escape if you have to reveal what you are to the public, do it.
Can I at least have the name of the bastard that I'm going after? Here, as he reached his skeletal hand into his pocket, he pulled out another envelope. This is all the information we have on the escape that took place.
I took the envelope from Percy, opened it up, and found information on a.
Jack Spalding. Notorious Gangster, devil worshiper sold his soul for power in the 30s. More bullshit and more bullshit What's this here? Supposed to be working with a fallen angel. A another fallen angel. You really want me to take on a fallen angel by myself.
Percy looked at me and said, "You're on your own kid." After all, you're the only one who managed to lock most of them away by yourself. This one should be easy. I replied It should be? I about lost everything doing that.
If you need help, call us. well, my time is running short find. Have a good day, Percy said. I'll have to deal with this when the time comes. Someone else should be bringing me some information on the concordance. Tomorrow it was nice seeing you old friend. I can't believe the youngest rookie turned out to be the second in command. that happened in what in a day? I had to prove myself, and you know it. Good luck, old friend. This guy you're going after, he's a real piece of work. My recommendations, you just burn him, burn him to a cinder.
Thanks, I'll deal with it. Good luck, Percy, and have a safe trip home. You too. I put the envelope in my jacket pocket. he stood up and disappeared into the night. I just sat and watch the waves for a little while knowing.This is probably the only piece.I'm gonna have at least for the next month.I'm really gonna have to train these new recruit.Things are about to get hectic around here. I made my way back to my truck and then took the long drive back to headquarters. I parked the truck in its spot and then went right up to my office.
Almost no one knew what I was except for Penelope and Tim. Tim knew because he'd watched me. Change a timer or too, and for Penelope. Well, let's just say ancient gods know when another God's servant is in their presence. Penelope walked into my office.A few minutes after I did, I was standing.Looking out the window at the snow cap mountain. she said.Alright, what's the gist. The longest short of it is I replied.I have someone I need to track down and send back to hell. She gasped, saying, "You're gonna go full charger, aren't you?I am. I replied. She said you're gonna need a mount. I know, and I'm not sure how I'm gonna do it my last mount. Was the electroheart that went missing? And I don't exactly know if any other vehicle is going to take that stress.
Well, you're in luck, "she said. Your electroheart walked back into the building. She goes by.
Amy, she spent time in dimension 4088. Also, the skyline horizon also walked back in the door her name is andy. I turned to her and said. First thing in the morning. I want you to round up all of the vehicle Girls and train them in driving shooting infiltration demolitions counterterrorism the works.
I want to see if we can create a unit specifically designed to move around dimension 4088. And that can walk around unnoticed here.
Yes, boss, absolutely sir she replied. I.
Took my jacket hat and boots off and lied down on the couch and went to sleep.Today was an exhausting day.
