Cold Strike 2

Chapter 8 - 30: Cheating Rookie

Winter: "It'll be fine. Don't worry."

Black Ice: "Royal Media is a place where they can easily track you and see exactly what you're doing and who you're talking to. Don't you think that speaking to her through there will get her caught? Any Furian who acts friendly towards you will be deemed as a traitor or a potential spy."

Winter: "As long as she stays invisible and use something to keep her address hidden, She'll be okay."

With that said, She turned and told her where to add her on Gossip, while also giving her the exact same information Black Ice told her and how to avoid getting tracked back.

As this was happening, Derek finally came over to where they were. But he stood beside Black Ice.

Derek the Advisor: "Hey..."

Black Ice: "What took you?"

Derek the Advisor: "You know that building we were standing on?"

Black Ice: "Hard to forget."

Derek the Advisor: "Turns out it was an apartment, and it looked really nice in there. It looked like a luxurious home build for everyone to live in. As I was on my way down to meet you guys, A lady came up in front of me and asked if I was experienced in fixing things. I didn't know how to answer that, I was kind of nervous. She explained that she's been trying to use it to wash dishes, But it's clogged up with something. She was hoping I could fix it. Being that I am experienced in fixing things, I happily decided to help her. She was very thankful to me, and it did made me feel good inside. Interesting story, well, Not Interesting, But that's why I didn't show up quick enough..."

Black Ice: "Derek, We don't have time to be helping people."

Derek the Advisor: "But her sink was clogged up."

Black Ice: "That's her issue, She should have called someone to fix it. We have our own mission to complete, In case you've forgotten."

Derek the Advisor: "I haven't. I just couldn't say no to a nice lady...She seem desperate, I mean what if she has kids?"

Black Ice: "You don't know that."

Derek the Advisor: "Well what'd you expect me to do? Just leave her to fix her own sink? I can't do that!"

Black Ice: "Kinda like how you can't stop crushing on Winter?"

Derek the Advisor: "...What's that suppose to mean?"

Both were interrupted with laughter coming from Winter and Stella.

Winter: "Try not to forget next time, okay?!"

Stella: "I won't! Good luck on your journey, Winter!"

Winter: "Thanks! I'll definitely need it!"

Stella waves goodbye while she was leaving the alleyway, As Winter does the same with a smile on her face.

Seeing that Stella is gone, She turned around, facing the two with an excitement look on her face.

Winter: "Okay! Ready to go?"

Derek the Advisor: "...Go where?"

Winter: "We're gonna find one of the rookie soldiers who knows where the military base is."

She turns away from them, looks down on her Princess Band, and tabs into it.

Winter: "Best way we can find one of them is over at the flaming palace. If you're wondering why, They are often told to go and patrol there if an incident ever occurs. Lucky for us, It happened. After I got the information and left. A Cryterian Citizen of mine thought it was pretty funny to harm the palace by freezing and killing a few guards. They hadn't managed to capture the culprit, But I plan to punish him after this journey is over. Or Send him to Exile. One of the two. What'd you think, Derek?"
