Helix Operatives: Creation

Hidden Rumors: Ceves

It was a few moments later as Silence parked his truck outside of a small storage unit complex underneath a highway overpass next to a few of the waterways going through the city. He wandered through the complex, shotgun in hand as he tried to find anyone. "Hello, GRF guys, I'm friendly. Olly olly oxen free," said called out Silence. "It's Silence, that one member of that friendly group that didn't take the boat... Hello?"

"Over here," called out a voice. Silence looked down a hallway to see Valor down a hallway. Silence walked to him, finding a number of the units converted to a bunkhouse, kitchen, armory, and a few other amenities. A number of Anthros were wearing the same uniform as Schloss.

"So, you are 'ze famed Zilenze?" Asked a male Anthro. He was a male weasel with short brown fur covering all of his body. A pair of blue eyes peered from behind his face cover and his pointed ears were on the top of his head. A frizzled tail came from the back of his hips and he held a G3A3 in his hands.

"Nice to meet you, um," said Silence as he extended his paw.

"It'z Commandant Derlo to you you filthy mutated," said the weasel as he slapped Silence's paw away. "Your kind will be next after ze Zinderloz."

"Okay, you know what..." said Silence with a smile. "You're a dick."

"I get called worze from my own command," said Derlo.

"Hey, break it up," said Valor as he stepped between Derlo and Silence, pushing Silence back keeping his eyes on Derlo. "Listen, we need to find an individual by the name of Puppeteer."

"Ze Puppeteer? Why?" Asked Derlo with a raised eyebrow.

"We plan on killing him," said Silence.

"Ja, good zen. We're too buzy with other zhit right now to deal with him. I'm glad zat you're at leazt willing to take care of it. I'll have Zchlozz join you for your mizzionz," said Derlo as he turned to Schloss. "Underztood?"

"Ja heir commandant!" Exclaimed Schloss as she stood at attention.

"Ja, good 'zen. Now, zen, I hear zat you are going to be ztaying with uz for zome time?" Asked Derlo.

"Actually, no," said Valor.

"You see, we're just going to help these freed Anthros to a place that they won't be hunted down and enslaved again and then we'll be on merry fucking way," said Silence as he felt his paws tense into fists. "Schloss will gladly spy on us for you since I very well fucking know that is what you're sending her to do."

"Silence, shut it," said Valor as he gave him a dirty look. "Our group is a few minutes away. Until then I'm telling you to stop it."

"Valor, two things. First, I'm your boss. Second, let's go for a small walk," said Silence as he wrapped his arm around Valor's shoulders. The two walked down the complex and ducked into a spare, empty unit.

"Listen, I'm just calling it now, that guy is an asshole," said Silence in a hushed voice.

"No fucking shit," said Valor matching his tone. "But we can't just start fights." 

"Well, we could, but I get that we don't," said Silence. "You heard him though, he hates mutated Anthros too. He threatened to kill us. Schloss might be under his command, but we need to get her away from him. Odds are that he knows she's mutated too."

"Right... I know... Something tells me that he's going to be a pain to work with," said Valor as he crossed his arms, leaning against the wall of the unit.

"Yeah... I know... Listen, Valor, about what we talked about in the truck," said Silence.

"You're going to switch the subject just like that?" Asked Valor with a tilt of his head.
