General Utility Needs
Pale, furious eyes watch the computer screen.
"Welcome Professor Night." The robotic female voice says.
"3 months," he growls, partly to the computer and partly to himself, as he glances at his assignment folder.
"3 months since this assignment first came to me. 'Find the children of the prophecy,' they said. 'It'll be easy!' they exclaimed! 3 months and nothing!" Night shoves the table over. The computer beeps.
"Child found." The monotone voice says.
"What?" He asks the computer. It beeps again.
"Two children found." It says. Slowly sliding into the desk chair, righting the desk, he starts typing frantic.
"Elaborate." He commands the computer. It beeps again and starts to print papers. Talking in its monotone voice it says.
"Lizzie Rosalie Zindle. Born on June 23rd, 9003. Now is 12 almost 13 years old. Lives in Wesford on continent Cairo. Lives with Mr. and Mrs. Zindle. Siblings: Alexander Lionheart Zindle. Height: unknown, weight: unknown. Eye color: navy blue, hair color: brown. Known powers: teleportation, labeler, surges electricity, planting and taking dreams and memories good or bad." Night cackles in delight.
"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!" The computer beeps again.
"Processing.... Aaron Mystic. Born on March 7th, 9001. Now is 15 years old. Lives in Zonezvill on continent Cairo. Parents...processing.....processing....processing... Error. Eye color: brown, Hair color: black. Known powers: shapeshifting, manifestation, sup- Error! Error! Error! Rebooting..." the screen when black. The professor hit the side of the computer.
"What?! What is the last two powers?" smoke filtered out of its fan slits. He cried out in outrage. "This is a brand new computer!" he growls under his breath and realizes something. A sly smile creeping across his face like a plague as he reaches for the phone. The phone rang only once.
"Shadow? Ah, yes. The first one is in Wesford. And Shadow?" Night paused for the reply.
"Leave no witnesses." He hung up, leaning back in his chair, he laughs an evil laugh.
