14 | The Meeting

Delirium stood in the middle of the conference room where a table had once been.

"so," said Delirium, "do you any of you care to explain what the hell happened?"

"if it's anybody's fault..." said Rose, "It's your's"

"I mean somebody obviously lured us, right?" asked Tony nervously, "this was on purpose!"

"actually no," said Alex from the far corner, "they wanted you two"

Alex slowly lifted his hand and pointed at Arnold and Delirium.

"what did they want with us?" said Arnold 

"I dunno," said Rose, "they were talking some crazy shit about making robots pure again and resurrection and stuff like that."

"so like a cult?" said Delirium as his face relaxed a bit, "did they say anything else?"

"something about a body if I remember correctly," said Alex

Arnold looked a little bit shocked

"Del?" said Arnold, "you don't think... the motel..."

"yeah I do think," said Delirium, "If that's what those assholes are up to then I need to put a stop to it"

"wait so you saw a body?" said Rose, "Pardon me asking but don't you see bodies like that all the time?"

"this one was different," said Delirium, "it was mangled and battered beyond any hope of identification, this was no dignified death, it was a sick and ghastly one."

Rose took a deep breath in

"If there's any hope of taking down this organization we have to destroy all of their research at once," said Rose, "If we destroy everything they've ever learned then it will at least delay their plans for long enough for them to fizzle out"

"fair enough," said Delirium, "keep in mind that only I need to go, I started this mess and I'm gonna finish it"

Everybody in the room nodded slightly. Delirium Iron-Head was a good assassin but was also a relatively bad person in general, everybody thought it was high time that he did something good.
