"Did anyone come up with anything?" Mr. Dupri asked the boardroom. We all stared at him for a minute.
"I do." I said standing up.
"Then say it already."
"Ok, in the town, we caught Circe in there have been murders. These started ever since Circe escaped. Although , the numbers aren't as high I suspected. As of today seventeen people have been murdered. No trace of evidence has been left behind, and the town of Sparta has been left in a panic."
"Okay, Damien, get to the point. How do we go about getting her back?"
"We can use Hina. She can be our hunter."
"I don't think she is in good enough condition." Dr. Leah piped up. She came last week, and was taking care of Hina.
"Well, she has to go. People are dying." I snapped.
"Check on her and send her out Leah." Mr. Dupri said in a final voice. She nodded and left.
"Go with her Damien, I approve of your plan. This meeting is over." I stood up and left. I walked down the white hall. I seemed to be the only one in the hall. Until I heard Jackel's voice behind me.
"Hey Damien!" I turned around. Jackel had been irritating me ever since the Freya thing.
"Hi."
"Crabby today? I heard your plan went through. That's good." I could tell he was trying to initiate conversation.
"Mhmm." I replied.
"Word gets around fast huh?"
"I suppose."
"God, Damien. What hell has been your problem lately?" he asked.
"I've been busy."
"Okay then. You heading to the hospital area?"
"Ya, I am why?"
"Oh, I was going to check on Freya."
"What's your connection with her anyway? She is as good as dead. She is still on life support." I made a mental note to take her off it. I had to make sure Jackel couldn't get overly attached to it.
"Well, I see potential. Thats all." he said. Now he is attached. Great.
I opened the door to the hospital. We both walked in. Luckily we headed in different directions.
"Bye Damien." I just waved without a word.
I opened the door that was was Hina's room. She was sleeping peacefully.
"Wake up!" I shook her.
Hina jumped up out of her sleep. She looked around wildly. Her dark eyes rested on me quietly.
"Yes?" her high-pitched voice asked. She looked tired.
"Stand up." I commanded her.
"But, the nurse said-" I silenced her with a glare.
Hina pulled off the covers and hung her feet off the bed. She stared apprehensively at the floor. I cleared my throat. Her dark gaze shifted to me then back to the ground. Hina lightly put her feet on the ground, then tried to stand. When her weight pressed down on her she collapsed on the floor.
"Get up." I snapped, my eyes merciless.
With much struggle she managed to stand up. She paced around the room a couple times trying to get back on her feet.
"Okay, now that you can stand I need to go hunt someone." Hina's eyes snapped up in response, a twinge of fear shown.
"Who?" she whispered to me, her little high pitched voice was shaking.
"Circe."
Hina's breathing quieted. The whole room was still. I saw her eyes dart back and forth, almost as if she was looking for someone to say, "Just kidding."
"Hina?"
"Um, yes?" she said a bit hesitantly. I could tell she was torn.
"Do you want to die? I thought you liked killing."
Hina smiled. "I do like killing, but Circe is... different."
I raised by brow at her, "How?"
"Well, I tried to stop her Chiwa's but it didn't work, and I could see conflict all in her head. Then I heard voices, small and quiet. Then my mind wouldn't work and she almost killed me." Hina explained.
I glared at her. How did Circe stop her?
"Your hunting her down anyways." I said in a final voice.
Hina bit her lip, her eyes turned glassy. She sniffed and said, "Fine. Where is she?"
I smiled, I knew she would. "Good we are shipping you off in the morning."
I got up and left the room before she could respond. I passed a nurse and told her, "Get Hina ready. She is leaving in the morning. Bring her to the hangar." She nodded and ran towards Hina's room.
#
It was 10:21 on my watch. Hina should be here any minute. I paced around the room. The hangar was busy with people getting ready for the flight to Sparta.
"Damien, Hina is here." one of the workers told me. I turned toward the door. Jackel, a nurse, and Hina appeared through the door. They walked up to me.
"Hina, are you ready?" Hina nodded. "Is she in good health?" I asked the nurse.
"Yes, she recovers quickly."
"Okay, Hina. The flight will take one and a half hours. When you arrive I want you to track her down. Get her alone and call reinforcements. Kill or capture her. It doesn't matter. If you fail this mission you will be killed. Understand?"
"I understand. May I kill her?"
"Yes you can. She is a failed experiment. We do not need her. But if you can capture her and bring her back, that is also fine. You may kill her here as well."
"Okay, I will do my best."
"Get into the plane. Every one! Start boarding the plane!" A dozen or so soldiers went into the plane. "Those are your reinforcements. Use this to contact them." I handed her a beeper. She nodded and headed toward the plane.
"Are you sure she can do this?" Jackel asked.
"No." I said. The plane started to move. I watched it leave the hangar and slowly ascend into the sky.
