He was trying to fool me. I knew he was, and I made it obvious that I knew. I could see it in his eyes.

He was trying to buy himself some time, but he knew I would be on him before anyone could save him from me. There was no hope for him.

This disgusting creature had been kidnapping and shipping children to one of the Triumvirate's remote buildings so that they could be brainwashed and used. Didn't matter that they were mortal. Didn't matter that they were children. Didn't matter that the majority of them would resist and be murdered.

He was a satyr, disguised as a mortal that owned a small car dealership.

It was just a front, obviously.

"P-please. I was forced to. The emperors-they said they needed more people, and that I had to do it. I never wanted to, but they-they threatened to kill me and destroy my business. I worked so hard making an environment-friendly car dealership. Please. I can make things better, I promise. I-" I held up my hand. He stopped.

I turned towards my helpers. I had raised a few skeletons.

"You know what to do with him."

They did. I had a specific way of dealing with problems like him.

Since he could feel pain, he was tranquilized and then killed quickly. Quick, clean, and painless.

I may have people killed, but I make sure they don't suffer. If I did, that would be truly monstrous.

I walked away, the information I needed was in his office. The skeletons would make sure everything is cleaned up. I got a cheap coffin, too. Everyone deserves a proper funeral.

I unlocked the door with the stolen key and quickly went over to the over-locked filing cabinet.

Luckily I stole the keys.

Rifling through the paper work, I heard almost silent footsteps.

Quickening my search, I eventually find a suspicious folder.

While everything in here was marked with things that sounded car related, this particular folder, that had slightly less paperwork than the others, was marked 'Kaly's private academy for the athletically gifted'. Probably the training camp they forced those kids to attend.

I grabbed the folder, double checking that it was the only unusual one. Out was.

Turning around, I noticed that whoever was trying to find me still hasn't checked in here. I shadow traveled to the outside, just around the back.

I saw that my small horde of 8 skeletons had been halved to 4. I heard shouting and then fighting. Rolling my eyes, I gestured to my stolen van.

I guess it was fate that he was only the 2nd person in my search, and had a van perfect for moving coffins around.

Hopping in the back with 2 of the skeletons, I tell Jules to go fast. As soon as I got 100 ft away, I could feel my control over the remaining dead it off my range dwindle and come to a stop.
