Partners In Justice

Chapter Five- Plans

"Alright, that's the plan!"

Chase and Henrik stood in front of the rest of the family, finishing the explanation of said plan. "Are you sure? Wouldn't it be better if we all just sticked together?" Jameson signed worriedly. "Ve can't, JJ. Most of us have jobs, including you. Ve just can't all be in zhe same place all of zhe time. So, it's better to stick to twos and zhrees. If Anti shows up, one can distract him vhile zhe other calls for backup." Henrik re-explained to the mute.

"Alright... But can't we, like, take a break from work since our fucking lives are on the line???" Marvin scoffed, taking a sip of his tea. "No, Marv. We don't know how long it will take to kill the bastard." Chase growled in response, making the other choke on his tea. "Wait- KILL?!" That put everyone on alert. Even Jackie didn't actually like the idea of killing the glitch, although he wouldn't admit that.

"No, Chase! No killing! Zhere must be another... Better... Vay." Henrik seemed thoughtful. How WOULD they deal with Anti? They always joked about killing the little bastard... But the glitch, himself, has never killed anyone. The most he actually deserved was a few years in prison. Even the building that he blew up- that was going to be demolished anyway!

"We'll... Figure that out once we capture him. But... Schneep, I understand the concern, but Anti... I don't think there's another way." Sean shook his head sadly, remembering that day years ago... Anti's gravest mistake. He wanted Sean dead, so... It was kill or be killed.

"But..."

"No, Schneep... This is for the best."

No one else argued with Sean. Not even Jameson, who still had hope for the glitch.

He could only hope Anti would turn around before it was too late.

"Enjoying the show, my little audience?"

You were pulled away from watching the Septics. The familiar face of Actor smirked down at you. "It is quite amusing... The Septics want Anti dead... Thinking he's a VILLAIN! They don't realize he works with ME! Heh... Don't worry, I won't let our little sidekick die just yet. But it WOULD be FUN to see him hurt a bit, don't you agree~?"

You gulped at the glint in his eyes. You didn't like that look...

He was planning something.

------------

It was two days after the bomb incident.

Dark frowned, feeling something off. He concentrated on it and... Fuuuuckkk... Actor's aura was nearby.

'He's near...' 'Relax, Damien. They'll be fine. We already instructed them to call us if something happens.' 'But will that be enough...? You know he'll stop at nothing to hurt us.' 'He has a point, as much as we hate to admit it, Celine... That man has us tied up in his strings. We need to make a move.' 'No, it's too early... We need to lure him out. He DOES have us in strings, that's why we need to use them against him!' 'Uhh... Guys?'  'Fine. But the second he shows his face, we're starting.' 'Guys!' 'Yeah, that's kinda the plan!' 'GUYS! You should look-' 'Not now, Damien!' 

"DAD! C'mon!" 

Someone snapped their fingers in front of Dark's face. Dark snapped out of his trance, turning to the people in his office. "Sorry, spaced out. Need something?" Dark asked, seeing the androids and Yan looking concerned.

"It's fine... We were just coming up to ask if we can go out for a bit. We'll all be together, and Blank will come too." Yan informed. After the incident, Dark had been stricter and more paranoid, panicking if he didn't know where someone is. 

"Alright. Thank you for asking, but do you mind telling me-" Google interrupted, getting straight to the point, "we'll be at the tech store and candy shop, then we'll proceed south to one of the restaurants for lunch, afterwards, finishing our trip off after ice-cream." "Alright, alright. I'm just making sure I know where to find you if trouble shows." Dark huffed, slightly amused. "We know." Google stated bluntly as they turned to leave.

The dark ego didn't take it to heart, he knew Google wasn't trying to be rude. He chuckled a bit and turned to look out his window. Only then did he realize...

Actor's aura was gone.
