Used to the Cage

Looking For Something?

Dark tapped his fingers on his desk. It had been nearly a week since Anti's capture.

If Anti had told them anything, the Septics would be at his door by now.

'He's good at keeping his mouth shut when it counts, I'll give him that'

He had his laptop open, his brow raised as he mindlessly floated through files.

One caught his eye.

Anti's resting file. He'd go there when he wanted to get away from . . .well . .. everyone.

Especially Google.

Those two hated each other and Dark never understood why. Weren't they both sort of viruses in their own ways?

'No matter.' he clicked and dragged the file towards the recycle bin. He hovered over it, not really sure himself as to why.

'Hm. . . . he still could prove useful, though. I doubt he's telling them anything with how stubborn he is. Perhaps he's learning from the inside'

He dragged Anti's file back out of the recycle bin and back into its original little corner.

Dark sighed heavily, 'You little pest, you better not give anything away like you usually would.'

The well-suited man rolled his eyes and shook his head, 'I've brought together as many Ipliers as I can. The other . . .weaker ones still want to stand by that pompous prick's side. Not that'll matter in the end. When I get my hands on that device-'

Once again, his thoughts flitted back to Anti, 'I know I promised him the same deal . . . but really who's to say he'd mind if I didn't keep my word this one time? I'm sure as long as the Septics are taken care of, he won't give a damn.'

Dark nodded to himself but closed his eyes in disdain, " . . . . . . . .. yes, Celine, I know you like him but that is not what this is about right now. Please contain yourself"

"Like who?"

Dark jumped only a little seeing Google in the corner of his computer screen, "When the HELL did you get there?"

The android frowned, "Just now. But I heard you speaking. I do not understand what you meant"

"You don't need to understand" Dark tapped his fingers on the desk again, "But there HAS been a change of plans, Google."

The android perked slightly as he continued.

"We're not purging Anti just yet"

Google snarled suddenly, "And why not? Sir, must I remind you of the many faults the glitch has?"

"No. I know full well. However I do believe he still might be of use to us. And you're going to help"

Google looked as if he'd rather jump in front of a moving train but he wasn't about to disobey Dark, "Very well. If I must. Let me know soon what I must do and I will perform adequately"

"I expect so" Dark nodded, "Tell Host as well. I'll tell William. The plan is still on"

Google nodded and disappeared from his screen.

Dark nodded to himself again, 'Perhaps it's a good thing I let the idiot get captured . . .let's hope he remains loyal or else there'll be hell to pay'
