34 I call dibs!
Zach and Kido climb the stairs to Zoey's apartment and knock on the door.
The door flies open quickly as if she was standing behind it waiting for their arrival.
Zach raises a hand and greets her, Kido just nods his head.
"Come in."
They walk into the familiar front room and take a seat on the sofa.
Zoey sits open them and immediately opens up with strong questions,
"Are you racist?"
...
Dumbfounded Zach replies.
.What? No! Why would you think that?.
"Well you told me to stay away from Muslims... If that's not racist i don't know what is"
.There is a very good reason i told you that.
Zach turns his head to look at Kido who is enjoying the conversation,
.Can you show her what we found?.
"You trust her?"
.Shes gonna be working on your arm so you better trust her.
Kido looks at Zoey's innocent looking face and agrees.
"Ok but do not reveal anything i'm about to show you."
He pulls a few files out of his bag detailing Gilani's conduct,
"This is me and Zachs principal, his name is Gilani Mansour and is a massive contributor to the slave trade. We have also found information that hint at relations with terrorist groups, while we were trying to obtain these files i got injured... So no, we aren't racist."
Zoey seems confused as to why they decided to tell her this but ignores it for now.
"So you two were actually trying to stop a slave trader?"
"Someone who is instrumental to them."
She rubs scratches her head and asks,
"Why don't you just report it to the police?"
.We think the police has already been taken over, i have personally experienced this.
...
"Well i guess i support what you guys are doing but don't you think you should leave this to someone else?"
.If you know someone then tell us, it's not like we want to get involved.
Kido looks away as Zach says this,
...
"Right... Well i should probably do something to that arm, it should be painful right?"
"Yes."
Zoey walks off grabs a bag of supplies, and fills a small cup with hot water. She wraps a normal bandage around the arm first then puts the plaster in the hot water and proceeds to wrap it tightly.
"Annnd done. Just keep it still until the plaster hardens."
She smiles and holds up a black rod,
"By the way what is this thing that you splinted it with?"
She presses the button causes electricity to burst out and crackle through the air,
"WOOOAAHHH COOl!"
She seems to enjoy swinging it as the two watch.
Kido looks at her joyfully swinging it.
"If you want it you can have it, we have spares."
"Really? you would do that for me?"
"It's better for you to have something to protect yourself."
Zach watches as the two of them bond over a deadly weapon, after waiting for the conversation to die down he asks Zoey,
.You got anything else you need to do today?.
"Yeah, i gotta work in like half an hour."
.Ok, we'd better go... I have stuff i want to get done and Kido still has to decrypt those files.
Kido looks like he doesn't want to leave but Zach pulls on his not broken wrist whilst saying goodbye.
Zach shuts the door behind him and looks back to Kido,
"I call dibs."
.Dibs?.
"I want her."
Finally catching on to what Kido is saying Zach instantly refuses.
.It's a battle between men! Whoever can get her pregnant first wins!.
As Zach exclaims this he hears someone slap their face from the apartment behind them.
...
They both look at each other in dismay,
"This is your fault."
.It's both of our faults.
"It's her fault for eavesdropping"
.Agreed.
The two part ways and Zach finally remembers the egg that is currently stuffed inside of his bag, instead of going directly to Grahams gym he walks back to his house.
He gets back to his house an goes directly to his room, he sits on the bed and brings out the egg.
The red egg that has black speckles on it feels warm to the touch,
.System, when will it hatch?.
[Crack open to identify.]
...
.Fuck that!.
Zach examines it for a few more minutes and remembers the place he stole it from, it was being heated by various sources before i took it. I guess it needs heat to hatch?.
Zach finds a mini heater and puts the egg under the desk, behind the desk is a radiator so it will be warm anyway. He puts the heater underneath the desk with the egg and covers the rest in cloth to hide it from view.
.I hope it's a dragon, that would be soooo sweet... Wait do dragons even exist?.
He leaves the egg and bring out the chains of Prometheus, the chains drop into his hands threatening to break his back.
He sits on his bed to relieve some of the weight and examines them.
The chains look like ordinary iron chain apart from the tiny inscriptions carved along the entirety of them.
.I guess i can just use them to hold people down? Or i can use them to train!.
The idea to train with them pops into his head as he thinks of the MMA fighter training.
.If i use these to train will i increase my strength?.
[If weight is enough then depending on how you train all stats can be increased.]
.Sweet.
