Chapter 14
(Alright peeps, buckle up cause this chapter's going to be longer than usual)
Ink sat in his office, writing out a report. He heard someone knock on the door and called "Come in".
He looked up to see Chris step in, having a serious look on her face.
"Come on, I got something to show you" she said before stepping out.
Ink instantly stood up and walked out of his office to see Chris waiting for him.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Oh you'll love this" Chris replied sarcastically.
"So, I was training my evening class in the use of firearms. You know, how to properly shoot them" she said.
Ink nodded as the two rounded a corner and began walking down a different hallway.
"We were shooting targets, when of the kids misfired and hit a bush. At least I thought she hit a bush before I heard someone let out a yell. So I rush over to see someone hiding behind the bush"
The two now walked down a flight of stairs.
"After dragging him out, I noticed the S.S.O. logo on his clothing, so, I had him detained in the prisoner barracks" Chris finished as the two came up to some metal sliding doors that had a number keypad beside them.
"What is an S.S.O. member doing here?" Ink asked as Chris pushed in the code to open the doors.
Only she, Dream, and Ink knew it.
"Beats me" Chris replied as the two walked into the dimly lit hallway behind the doors.
They paused to salute the guards, who were armed with guns. The guards returned the gesture and Chris and Ink continued to walk down the hallway.
"But, if your interested, you can ask him that during interrogation" Chris told Ink, who nodded.
The two continued walking until they got to another door, which led to a dark room with a large sheet of glass. It was the type that allowed someone on a certain side to see what was going on on the other side.
But the person on the other wouldn't be able to see anything. On the other side of this glass wall was a lit up room with a table.
Ink could see the S.S.O. member sitting at the table, his wrists held together with special cuffs that cancelled out magic. Behind him were two guards, both armed with guns that were ready to fire at a second's notice.
"So, where's Dream? Doesn't he usually do this kind of stuff?" Ink asked as Chris walked over to the door that led into the room in front of them.
"He's off on a self mission, so he passed that responsibility off to us until he gets back" Chris explained.
"Oh..." Ink said quietly. "Welp, you ready?" Chis asked as she picked up and tucked a folder under her arm.
"Lead the way" Ink replied.
The S.S.O. prisoner looked up as Chris opened the door, and then he wolf-whistled.
"Ooo~ Hottie in the house" he said in a overly flirtatious tone.
"Watch it" Chris said in a warning tone.
"Oh, AND feisty, eh? I like that in women" the guy replied.
"Ugh" Chris muttered under her tone before she took a seat and opened the folder she had under her arm.
She read through it quickly, taking in as much information about the guy sitting in front of her as she could.
"Reading about me, eh? Seeing anything you like?" The guy, who was apparently named Josh Sky, asked.
"I like your clothing style, your friend here, not so much" said Josh as he glanced at Ink with a shit-eating grin and eyes full of malice.
"You know, maybe its best if you shut your god damn mouth" Ink retorted.
"You know, I don't remember anyone asking you anything, skele-boy" Josh replied with that same grin.
Ink opened his mouth to snap back a harsh reply, but he felt someone put a hand on his forearm.
He looked down to see Chris's hand, and when he looked at her, she gave him a look that clearly said 'He's trying to get to you. Don't fall for it'.
So, Ink sighed and looked away. Josh snickered.
"Heh, need a girl to control you? Pathetic. I would be the other way around, and control the girl instead" he said, his voice holding a hint of lust as he glanced over at Chris.
She glanced at him over the folder.
"This is your one and only warning, do not make me regret holding him back, otherwise, I will let him do whatever he wants to you, and I will act like I never saw anything so that he gets away with it" she said in a deadly serious tone.
That seemed to shut the guy up and Chris was able to read in silence. A minute later, she glanced up at Ink and lightly nudged his elbow to get his attention, since he had been looking away to avoid looking at Josh.
When Ink turned to look at her, she tilted her head towards the folder in her hands.
"Want to take a turn?" she asked.
Ink shook his head and Chris nodded in understanding. She closed the folder and pushed it off to the side.
"Alright Mr. Sky. First and foremost, what were you doing on Justice Reigns grounds?" she asked.
"Aw, a hot thing like you can drop the formality act, girl~" Josh said as he leaned back in his chair.
Ink felt his blood boil. He hated this guy!
His face, that shit-eating grin, the way he spoke, the way he was acting with Chris. He hated it all.
He wanted to be the one who could talk to her like that! With nicer and more better wording, but still!
Ink was brought out of his train of thought when Chris spoke.
"What were you doing on JR grounds, Mr. Sky?" she asked with deadly calmness.
Josh huffed a bit and Ink felt satisfied to see him realize he wasn't going to get what he wanted.
"Fine, I was sent on a mission to spy on you guys and relay back whatever I found out" Josh answered.
"Why?" Ink asked.
Josh stayed silent and acted like he hadn't heard him.
"Answer him" Chris ordered.
Josh looked up at her.
"Did you really think we didn't catch you raiding our base camp in Jungletale?" he asked.
Chris narrowed her eyes a bit as Ink glanced at her.
"Yeah girl, we later on realized we caught you on camera going into our makeshift control room. Nice game you played with the general, by the way" said Josh.
"What all do you know about the Soul Science Organization?" Chris asked.
"Oh, trying to change the subject?" Josh asked, his grin slowly creeping back onto his face.
Chris stayed silent.
"What? Don't want to disappoint your boyfriend over there?" Josh asked.
"One, me and him are just friends, two, don't bring up my love life when I don't currently have one, and three, answer the god damn question" Chris replied sharply.
"Don't have a love life, eh? You can have one with me~" Josh said to her.
Chris sighed and looked at Ink.
"Maybe we should call Dream and have him stop by" she said.
She noticed a look of terror flash over Josh's face.
"What's the matter? Scared of Dream? the leader of the entire Justice Reigns organization?" she asked, looking at him.
She noticed the guy gulp nervously as he tried to wave away her accusation.
"Me? Scared of a oversized bird? Pff, hell no! He can come if he wants!" Josh said.
His nervousness grew as Chris lightly smirked. Josh was afraid of Dream, and she was going to use that to her advantage.
And honestly she couldn't really blame the guy for being terrified. Dream had quite the reputation, and Chris admitted that even she was nervous or anxious when she was around Dream here and there.
The guy was fucking scary when he was mad! She pulled out her phone and laid it close to her on the table.
"What's that for?" Josh asked.
"I have Dream on speed-dial. One click of a button is all it takes to get him. So unless you start talking, I will have Dream see if he couldn't pay you a little, visit" Chris replied.
Ink internally smirked. This was one of the things he loved, and feared, about Chris.
She could quickly find people's weaknesses and use it to her advantage to get what she wanted or needed. And he didn't want to admit it, but she has used this on him, more than once.
"So, what do you know about the Soul Science Organization?" Chris asked.
Josh stayed quiet, though that attitude quickly broke into panic when Chris moved her hand to her phone.
"Alright, alright, alright! Look, I can't tell you anything-" Josh started
Chris, who had paused when he spoke, began to move her hand again.
"-but I can take you to an abandoned base that located in Jungletale!" Josh finished quickly.
Ink and Chris shared a glance before looking back at him.
"Where is it?" they said at the same time...
