Creature of the Shadows

Suspicious Lizard Girl

BlackHat's pov

   I was doing my usual paperwork in my office while Flug was doing his usual inventing stuff in his lab. I let out a small sigh, I wish that there was a way for me to get all of this done faster. Hmm, maybe Flug can help me with that. 

    I suddenly heard a knock. At this point I have memorized the knocks of my subordinates. Flug's knock was very quiet and almost inaudible, but on rare occasions it is slightly louder but he will on purposely knock the first part of 'Shave and a Haircut' while I would respond with the 'two bits' part. He only had just started doing that recently, it doesn't happen much though. 5.0.5's knock was like a normal knock, just slightly muffled due to the fur on his hands. while Demencia's knock was more like a drumroll on my door, it was the most annoying of the three. The knock that I had just heard was of course Demencia's. I sigh. 

    "Come on in Demencia." I said in an annoyed tone. The pinked haired lizard girl walked in, but something was off. She was wearing her usual clothes, her eyes wear the same as before, her hair was still long and bright, almost green, yellow that almost murdered your eyes when you looked at it. It took me a bit to realize that it was her face. 

   By that I mean, she didn't have her usual chaotic expression on her face. Instead she had a fake smile and a slight bit of jealousy in her eyes. It was quite unusual for the girl to look like this. 

    "What is it that you want?" I asked. 

    "I just came in to ask you how your meeting, or whatever it was, went." She said.

    "Oh, um, that went well." I told her. I almost forgot that I wrote that note that told them that me and Flug were going to see a client.

     "Oh, that's great. By the way, are you dating anyone? Anyone at all?" The lizard girl asked.

    "Dating? Ugh what do you take me as, some sort of human?" I spat the word human out in such a way that it made everyone who heard it shudder. I had to fake my disgust. I loved Flug, I loved him with all of my heart, I just don't want her to know that.

    "Oh, well I just want you to know that if I ever saw you with anyone but me I will not hesitate to do some serious damage to them." She said in a menacing tone before walking out. I was a bit worried about Flug, not too much since you know he can't die, I mean, he can it's just it would be hard to kill him. 

    I probably should tell him though. But if I went to the lab it would be suspicious. I walked over to my desk and opened a drawer. This drawer held one thing inside of it and one thing only. 

    I picked up the device and clicked its power button. The screen blinded me a bit, I wasn't expecting it to be so bright. The second I got used to it, which was almost instantly, I started to look at the data that was on the device before I finally found what I was looking for. There was only one thing in the 'folder' that I had clicked on. 

    I pressed it and brought the device to my ear. I heard ringing until it suddenly stopped.

   "Hello?" Flug's voice came from the device. 

    "Hey, Flug, come to the office with a device. Any device. Make it seem as if you were going to pitch an idea to me." I told him while talking through the device.

    "BlackHat? You finally used the phone I made you?!" His voice sounded like he was shocked but also happy. 

    "It doesn't matter, do as I say." I tell him.

     "But why?" He asked.

    "Because there is something I want to talk to you about and I don't want Demencia to suspect anything." I explained.
