The Quest for The 13 Hollows Part 4

"To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?' Morgan asked Jack, as he entered into the pocket dimension that was currently her cell room. Her tone was clearly sarcastic.

The portal shut behind him, trapping him in with her. It was just her and him floating within a black starless space-like area. There was gravity. As well as air to breathe. Though there wasn't much else. Just the two of them. The Astral realm existed beyond the physical and therefore the physical aspects of space could not be seen. There was only the blackness. The blackness of unrealized potential. Unlimited potential just waiting to be created.  

But while it may have looked like the two of them were standing right next to each other, in truth, Morgan was surrounded by a forcefield, that not only trapped her in but prevented her from using any of her powers.

Jack knew how lucky he was that he and his sister were not beside her as cohorts. And he knew that he had Booth to thank for that. Booth was the one that orchestrated the alliance between him and his sister, and The Masons. It wasn't the best partnership that they had ever been in, but it sure beat being executed. And Jack really, truthfully, did want to know what Morgan was up to. He really did want to interrogate her. But then, he also knew that she had no reason to comply. If she did tell them everything that they wanted to know, then they would have no reason to keep her alive. And then The Masons would likely just dispose of her. The only reason that she was still alive now was that she had knowledge that they wanted.

"Morgan! Is that your real name?" Jack asked. Honestly wondering if it was an alias. If she was hiding her true identity.

"I am who I say I am." She answered. "Why would I lie about that?"

"So, you're not Morgana Lafaye?"

"I never claimed to be."

"But there are rumors that you are. People keep saying it."

"People are fools." She told him. "They believe all sorts of silly superstitions. The only thing that they won't believe is the truth."

"How do I even know if I can trust you? Are you even a woman of your word?"

"Of course I am." She told him honestly. Turning to him and looking him right in the eye's as she said it.

"You really think your friends are coming for you?" Jack stated as if in a mocking tone.

"They will." She answered back with certainty.

"Maybe they will. But if they do, I will be ready!" Jack told her as if it were a threat, as he looked her right in the eyes, as she did before with him. Then he winked.

She smirked at this and let out a slight, knowing, huh. 

"Why are you after the artifacts?" 

"Why don't you ask your Mason friends that?" She told him coldly.

"Ah, and here I thought we were building rapport." Jack stated, again as if in a sarcastic manor.

"And here I thought your new buddies were the Masons?"

"I trust them no more than I trust you." Jack told her coldly.

"Tell me Jack, are you a man of your word?" 

"I am!" He answered, stepping forward as close to the forcefield as he could get, and he stared her right into her blue eyes. "So, trust me when I say that, if your friends do appear, I WILL BE READY FOR THEM!" Again, he said it as if it were meant to be a threat. Then he turned to leave the room. The portal reopened and he rejoined his sister and Jimmy in the small room that they were in.
