InFAMOUS Second Son - Your Snowflake

Chapter 26

"Ugh....I hate mornings...." I grumbled to myself. Below me I could hear a voice call out, "Morning? Isabella, it's 11 in the afternoon."

Getting up from my current position on the roof, I walked over to the building's edge and glanced down at the alley below.

"That's what I said. Morning." I responded matter-of-factly.

Reggie simply rolled his eyes as I returned to my previous task of shooting down a nearby drone.

'What was Delsin thinking,' Reggie thought to himself. 'Waking her up then running off like that? Now I have to drop everything so that someone keeps an eye on her!'

The officer let a shiver run up his spine as he recalled the events of this morning. He had been awake for a while and decided that it'd be best to check up on us. Besides, he knew that Fetch would be pissed if she had to stay any longer than she had to. What he didn't expect, however, was to find himself in the middle of an all-out war upon arriving at the apartment. Apparently his younger brother though it would be a great idea to wake the two sleeping women with a bucket of ice water; a technique that was frequently used on Reggie in the past. Needless to say, it didn't end well for either men. The prank resulted in Fetch and I forming a "Take-Down-Delsin" alliance as we chased him throughout the apartment. After miraculously escaping the apartment, Delsin texted Reggie, asking if he and I could do him a favor (he left Fetch out of it, knowing that she would only tell him to fuck off anyways). Which brings us to the present: Me shooting down drones while Reggie picked up the pieces.

The nearby sound of a drone crashing to the ground brought him back out of his thoughts.

"There," I announced before leaping off of the building and landing semi-gracefully next to the officer. "That's the last one."

Curiously, I watched as Reggie retrieved an unknown object from the mechanism's remains. Before I could even try to catch a glimpse of it, Reggie shoved the object inside of a bag before zipping it closed.

"Really, Reg?" I asked with a frown. "Don't you think that I should at least know what it is that we're gathering?" The man responded with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Sorry, Isabella. Delsin's orders."

I released a huff of air as I leaned against the alley wall. "Since when did you start taking orders from Delsin?"

"Since he threatened my truck with spray-paint."

"You do know that he's probably going to spray paint it anyways, right?"

"...............god damn it..........."

Delsin's P.O.V.

"And done!" As soon as the finishing touches were added to my masterpiece, my phone went off. "Huh, wonder who that could be?" The instant I pressed the phone against my ear, I regretted having answered the call.

"DELSIN! WERE ARE YOU?!" An angry Reggie shouted over the line.

"Oh, you know. Around."

"DOING WHAT?!"

"Uh, painting?" A small crash could be heard and I knew then that Reggie had dropped the phone.

'What's his problem?'

A string of curses left Reggie's lips in the background as a woman's voice called out. "-um, hello? Delsin?"

"Bella? The fucks goin' on with Reg?"

"He thinks that you spray-painted his truck...."

"Oh yeah, I knew I forgot to do something."

Once again Reggie's voice rang out.

"'You mother-' Reggie!" Bella interrupted. "Just calm down. Delsin didn't do anything, right?"

"Uh........" I trailed off as I eyed the wall before me. "No?"

"..................."

".............................."

"............never mind............Where are you anyways?"

I couldn't help but smirk and even though she couldn't see it, I knew that Isabella could hear it in my voice. "I'm in an alleyway."

"Seriously? Which alleyway? There's like a hundred of them!"

"I'm at the alleyway. You know the one~"

"....o-oh....THAT alleyway...."

"Something wrong?" I asked playfully. By now she had to be as red as a cherry.

"N-no!" Came her defensive response. Oh yeah, she knows which alleyway I'm talkin' about. "I'll be there in a few minutes. With Reggie, Delsin! With Reggie!"

"No! Don't bring-" Bella hung up before I could finish. "God damn it...."
