You

Tonight is auction night.

I haven't talked to Sylus yet after last night.

But I will have to encounter him in a few minutes.

The seamstress gave me a new dress, similar to the last one for tonight.

I also still have the gun Sylus gave me last time.

Well prepared for another adventures night.

I'm sitting in Sylus's car and wait for him.
Luke brought me my phone today. They took everything I had with me when they "saved" me from the EVER guy. He told me that Sylus doesn't want me to use my own guns anymore, 'cause he thinks they're "trash".

I can't complain as long as I have this big baby he gave me last time.

The driver's door opens and Sylus takes his place behind the wheel.

»Good evening, Sweetie. How did you sleep?«

I blush and bite my lip.

»Good. What about you?«

»Perfectly fine. Ready for a shopping trip?«

I chuckle at his description of what is going to happen tonight.

»Sure. Let's get this aethercore.«

He smirks and starts the engine to drive us to the auction

*

»Take this.«

Sylus comes closer and puts an earpiece into my ear.

»Oh? Can we comunicate this way?«

»Yes, Sweetie. I will have to leave you for some time. Some business stuff. You, on the other hand...«

He takes a black credit card out of his pocket and hands it to me.

»You can buy some protocores for me.«

»You want me to buy them?«

»Just look out for anything that looks special. Buy whatever you want.«

I look at the black card in my hand.

»Guess there's no limit?«

When I look at him again, he just smiles.

Of course...

»Alright, then. Let's go.«

Sylus leads me to the auction room and I'm stunned for a second.
There are so many protocores in here!

But only a few people that seem to participate.

»I'll leave you to you're task now, Sweetie. I'll be back in no time. Have fun.«

He leans down and gives ne a soft kiss on my tenple before he turns around and leaves through a door.

The gentle gesture is so out of character for him that I stand there for a moment, blinking.

And blushing.

But I shake my head to get back to reality and observe all the protocores in the showcases around me.
I roam past a few before I stop at a more special one.

Hmm. It looks pretty and has a special glow to it, but it's just an ordinary protocore...

»Has something caught your eye, Miss?«, a man asks. Guess he's one I can buy the protocores from.

»Uh, yes. I think I'd like to buy this one. One million.«

I hear a sigh in my ear.

»Do you want to make me look broke? Five million, Sweetie.«

I secretely roll my eyes over Sylus grumpy objection.

But then I give a warm smile to the man.

»I made up my mind. Ten million. And...I think I want to buy all the protocores of the auction.«

I hear a sexy chuckle in my ear.

»That's my girl...«
