As the assessments came to an end, and the soldiers in every squad went back to their duties, Vox had yet more jobs to attend to. While Edward was busy dosing off, a pair of intruders were hidden deep in the mansion, in a room that was never used. Within the room, a trap door remained closed, and that was were they stayed, hidden from the members of the syndicate. They awaited the return of the fae, for they had many queries on their next move.
The man was a familiar face, with red, undercut hair and orange eyes, still retaining a flaming vengeance against his brother. The woman was less familiar, an elf with long teal locks tied in a plat and forest green eyes, her convictions were great, yet uncovered by the masses. She too had a brother, struck dead by a similar looking elf and her witch companion. Could she even address her enemies after an incident like that? She was unsure. However, one thing was certain, Lin and Kiara had returned.
"Come to bed with me, it'll be hours before we strike.", declared Lin. "That body's been to all sorts of places I can't think to imagine, Curtis would've had your head if you said anything like that around him.", replied Kiara. "I assigned you to my team because you're my favourite, far greater calibre than your brother. Is this how you repay me?", responded the fiery man. "Y-you don't have to phrase it like that…", whimpered Kiara. Without saying another word, she crawled into Lin's arms.
"That's a good girl, so obedient.", remarked Lin. "Bet it reminds you of yourself when that vampire's ability got you.", Kiara commented. Lin gripped onto her tightly, almost violently, scowling as she struggled. "I've been assured that he's been neutralised…", grumbled the red haired man. "That means we can fight to our true potential, right?", asked Kiara, trembling slightly. "Not quite, we still need to speak with Vox after all. I need to make some...arrangements for our invasion.", informed Lin.
There was a knock at the door, "That must be him, don't move from that bed until I say so!", Lin projected. The green man carefully navigated the small setup and took a seat. "Lin and Kiara, how's things been going?", questioned Vox. "They've been-", Kiara was interrupted by Lin, "Splendid Sir, Kiara and I were just about to have a little 'private time', if you're aware of my just. But then we found that we had to ask you a few questions first.", he explained.
"I want to be prepared for anything, should we have to deal with Lin's brother. He's told me some terrible things about him...", returned Kiara. "Lucky for you two, I think we're close to a breakthrough. I've been scouting the competition all morning, barely any of them are a major threat, though I'd keep and eye on the capos and underboss, they're getting increasingly rebellious.", informed Vox. Lin crossed his arms at the obvious information, "You think we weren't planning to do that in the first place? Rou and his idiocy are in that group...", he remarked.
"Oh, don't worry Lin. I have something very special planned for your brother. You might not like it at first, but you'll thank me later.", replied Vox, certain that he know what he's doing. "Tomorrow's going to be a good day...", commented Lin. "Just remember, I'm the one giving the signal to attack. Once I have rid this place of the most harrowing of my opposers.", Vox responded. "I know, you're a great man. I'll be making preparations for tomorrow's activities.", ordered Lin.
"I appreciate the kind words, but I'm just doing what has to be done. This is ten years in the making, it has to be perfect", responded Vox. "Lin, I can sense that you're having the time of your life. Don't worry, we've all made sacrifices so that we can pull this off perfectly, I believe in you.", announced Kiara. Lin took her in his arms, "So you finally see my side of things.", he commented, leaving a kiss on her neck.
"I guess I should leave you two be, see you tomorrow.", declared Vox, opening the trap door to let himself out. His smile then immediately turned to intrigue, "Ah Lin, the man still thinks he's the boss of this operation. But I'll show him who's really in charge, he's on borrowed time, just like my Eddie boy. I will rise up again...", he thought. So many pieces were in place for the fae, and the day was only halfway done. But what he was about to witness next would put a spanner in the works...
