The Diamond Cult

Him.

Unhappy are the takers

Or why else be fakers?

But to devastate the essence of the believer

Measures the cruelty of the deceiver

"Botu, thank you for letting me stay here man."

"It's really no problem, don't mention it."

"I'm gonna go get some groceries. You ran out of milk and toilet paper."

"Ah, thanks man."

Botu rubbed Piggy's freshly shaved head, something he'd hoped would save him from being detected.

Piggy put his shoes on and left.

He dribbled down the stairs as he put his earplugs in. Bopping his head to the beat of his music.

The past few days had been calm, he had regained himself. He became Piggy again.

He'd already seen the same black car drive past a suspicious amout of time in the past few days. He had a knife and gun with him.

He wasn't going to get his ass kicked again.

He grabbed the borrowed phone from his pocket and stood around the corner.

"Fuck, why isn't he picking up?"

When he looked up the black car had stopped next to him. The window rolled down slowly.

"Are we going to do this the hard or the easy way?"

Piggy pointed his gun at the car.

"I don't know who you are, but drive away now."

"Hah, how cute. The hard way, I see. Veno, you know what to do."

The window rolled up.

Everything went black.

Neville tapped his foot. The project was much more of a challenge than he'd ever admit.

Ares' wrath against him, Ricin's contamination and Leto and Lela's unwillingness to work.

He could only depend on Veno, Xenon and Alexandra now. Quite funny to think he'd have to depend on Xenon.

He'd been completely lost in his thoughts by the time Veno and Xenon returned.

"Uh, sir."

He blinked in confusion.

"Oh, yeah. How'd it go?"

"We got him."

"That's great. We've got two of them now."

He stood up, patting Xenon's back and leaving the room.

"Uh, sir. Wait, please."

"What is it, Veno?"

"Where is Ricin?"

"In contamination."

"Why?"

"Disobedience."

"When will they-"

"Enough, you're always so quiet and I like that."

-

"Uh, hi good morning. Have you seen Piggy?"

"Piggy? No, he hasn't been at the office for three days."

"Oh, that's strange. Do you know when he's coming back?"

"A minute, please, I'll check it out for you."

"Thank you."

The assistant took a moment while Cerberus tapped the tip of his shoe on the floor.

"Ah, he's currently discharged from work due to possible threats."

"Oh shit, alright. Thank you for your time."

Cerberus walked away.

'Why'd he ask me to come to the office, then? Now it makes sense why he texted from a new number.'

Cerberus grabbed his phone.

"Shit!"

He called Piggy back, hoping he'd pick up.

"Hello? Piggy?"

"..."

"Piggy, you shithead. Why'd you make me come to the office? Hello? Piggy!"

"Be careful."

"What the fucking hell? For fucks sake, Piggy don't play these games. It's not fucking funny, you deformed cancer cell."

"Haha, good one. Xenon! Hang up! Sorry, sir. Be careful, I'm warning you. Bye bye, Roan."

-
Funny what I did there, huh? Oh, you don't understand?
Well, paying close attention to everything might help you out. That's all I can tell you.
One last clue.
He is not who you think he is.
Bye bye now. It's been fun messin' with ya. Be careful.
