Shrunken

Chapter 37

  Seto had expected something worse. Some kind of dangerous hybrid like Matrix, or something that would result in another episode of problems and conflicts and arguments. Something anything but friendly or willing to be seen and handled. Strangely, for once, it wasn't anything like that at all.

Brice rubbed the knot on his head and scowled, storming down the hall with his free hand clenched. "How the frick did that happen?"

The dripping hybrid in his hand shrugged. "I'm kind of psychic," Kay replied matter-of-factly.

"That would've been useful to know a LONG time ago."

"It only works on ignoramuses."

"Igno-what?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

  Cece ducked into the shadows when she heard footsteps approaching, her pointed ears pricked upward. As cautious as she was, excitement bubbled up within her. The government had asked her to search around the premises and report any suspicious activity, undercover. The drab-looking building didn't seem very threatening to the shrunken hybrid, despite it being a prison-like boot camp and all. However, certain individuals had reported "suspicious activity" within the area.

  All Cece had been told was, "It's similar to your case. You'll know it when you see it.". Another mission where she didn't know what she was getting herself into, the best kind, in her opinion. She liked the feeling of thrill, and her job on most occasions. Sneaking around unseen was one of her best skills, thanks to her unique shrinking ability.

  A rather tall, irritated-looking man with bright blond hair turned a corner of the hallway. He seemed to be speaking to someone. To himself, maybe? Cece thought. There isn't anyone else around...

  That's when the neko caught a glimpse of what the human held in his hand. Cece's eyes widened.
