Dead

Arc: Level C [Continued]

April 10- Day 10C

    "As if they were dead?" I repeat. "And what do you by that?"

    Stylus stands up and head towards the door. "I suppose that's what they want me to show up earlier. So once I figure out the situation, I'll update you guys." He opens the door, then turns back to me. "Oh, and I'll make sure to talk Blair."

    And out he goes.

Stylus's POV

    After a quick drive to the FBHE headquarters, I finally make it to the front office. Looking around, there seems to be many workers going in and out the building, probably due to the recent disaster. If Percent is going to continue attacking like this, who knows what corner it'll drive FBHE into.

    "Hey Stylus!" one of the ladies at the desk says. "I know we called you in and stuff," she begins as she chews gum as she always does. She pauses as I hear her fingernails click against the computer keyboard. She stares at the screen for a couple of seconds, then looks up at me. "I don't think we need you anymore honestly," she bluntly says as she continues to chew her gum.

    I scoff. "Really?"

    "Well, you know you're Level A division. I think the lower levels can handle a case like this. We have the Level C division with us as of now, so I think that's good enough."

    "Ah," I whisper. Realizing I need to see Blair, I quickly tap on the counter. "Well go ahead and check me in anyways."

    As I run off, I hear her say, "Oh, alright!"

    "Blair should be downstairs right now...," I whisper as I reach the elevator.

    After clicking one of the bottom floors from the button, the elevator door opens again after a couple of seconds. I quickly walk out, and begin to subtly hear voices from the corner.

    "Why did you guys call me here then?" I hear Blair say.

    "Well, we still wanted you to check.." I assume Blair was talking with a staff member.

    "If they're not dead, why should I care?"

    "W-well you see," the staff member's tone of voice makes it obvious that she was becoming quite nervous. "We believe there may be a mental problem with them. And we were ordered to let the Level C department on this. So-"

    Blair sighs. "Alright, whatever. I get it. The room is right here, right?"

    "A-ah, yes-"

    "Then you can leave now."

    "R-right. I'll come back if I have any updates." The staff member swiftly walks past me, but doesn't bother to stop and say hi.

    I walk past the corner, just enough so Blair can see me. "Blair, wait," I begin to say, causing her to look at me.

    "Aqua Boy?" she says.

    I scoff. "I told you to stop calling me that."

    She continues. "What are you doing here then?"

    I walk up closer to her, and attempt to peak through the window of the door next to us. Looking back at her, she has noticeably become nervous for some reason.

    "U-um," she begins to say as she fidgets.

    "Are you okay?"

    Her eyes widen as she continues to fidget. Suddenly she blurts, "When was the last time you've seen Ken?"
