Chapter 2: Finding the source (Part 2)

(y/n)'s P.O.V.

I don't know how long it was, days, weeks or months, but I do know that I needed to find the source before the trio go off and do something silly, I had a couple of costumes changes from (fake/name) to Richard Longstein, and many more characters, heck I even had to do a couple of favours for Sampo because the others asked them to find me. It would be easier to tell Sampo to pass the message, but it would put a wrench in their plans for when they come back up to the surface. I sighed, as I remember the last favour Sampo asked me to do. 

*2 days ago*
Sampo was being chased by the Silvermane Guards, and I was walking across the street suspiciously after Sampo and I crossed paths. The Silvermane Guards stumped and fell on the ground, with Gepard at the bottom of the pile: "Oh sorry about that guards, I will try and help you up, here."

I reached my hand out to help the Silvermane Guards, which most of them disgracefully pushed aside, but Gepard accepted my help: "Thank you kind sir, I must apologise, but we need to find that wretched bandit Sampo, please let us know if you have the chance to see him."

I slowly nodded my head, as the Captain and other soldiers rushed to find Sampo, let's just hope that Sampo is at our rendezvous point. The alleyway between Serval's Workshop and a couple of buildings. I walked in that direction, I realised something, I just touched Gepard's hand, even though it was for a second, I still touched it nonetheless, his grip was a bit firm, but gentle, strong but soft. I felt a little blush come across my face, but I hid it as I came to the space where Sampo and I were meeting up.

"Wow (y/n), I must say that I'm impressed, your acting skills are top notch," Sampo responded.

I hushed him, reminding him that I am still a wanted person, I continued our conversation quietly, "Do you have the location of the signal jammer?"

Sampo nodded, and gave me a map, it was a very vague map, but it had a red circle, to signify its location. I smiled, "Thanks, tell the others that I will be destroying that device in a couple of days 5 days max."

Sampo while didn't say a word, acknowledge my request. I sigh, waiting to enter Serval's workshop.

*Present day*
It has been two days since our last interaction, and right now, I was walking to the location, Serval didn't come which I could understand, she had a business to attend, and besides if she could I wouldn't advise it, she could get herself into danger... not that she isn't a bad fighter, she is an excellent fighter, what I am trying to say is that I don't want to risk her being contained because of something that I'm doing.

After about 5 miles left, I started to feel a little cold, I mean, I could understand why someone who would built this, build it outside the town, less likely to be recognised. I slowly calmed down, and took an inhale of the chilly air through my nose and into my lungs. I was almost done with part of my mission, I just needed to make sure destroy the machine and make it back to Serval's workshop without being noticed. 

A couple of minutes later, I had arrived at the place, and had noticed that there were fragmentum creature surrounding the device, it was going to be a bit of a challenge considering that I am basically fighting all by myself, but not to worry about, I do have a bit of experience in fighting, I am not just a healer.  After destroying the fragmentum creatures, I had about two minutes, until alarms were about to set off... better make it quick. While at Serval's workshop, I had decided to manufacture a bit of a makeshift bomb. Placing the makeshift bomb beside the signal jammer, I started a 20 second timer, and made a run for it. 

20... 19... 18... 17... 16... 15... 14... 13... 12... 11... 10... *Error* Countdown dismissed, initiating explosion. I could feel the shockwaves from the distance I was at, after a couple of seconds later, my phone started to get notifications.
