Storyteller's Universe // Two Percent
Consultation Hours
Rudy:
“You’re making progress. Next step is understanding that after knocking on the door you have to wait for a ‘please, come in.’”
Sybil just waves them off.
Sybil:
“Ya nullified Damon. Did ya know he was tracking a potential recruit?”
Rudy:
“Ah, I’m sorry. He must’ve not included it in his report- Oh wait, right.”
She giggles.
Sybil:
“It’s okay, we found that Sebastian dude Shae was left with, got Bloodhounds on the topic.”
Rudy nods.
Rudy:
“If you’ve got anything for me, you have about 10 minutes before Damon comes here.”
Sybil:
“Consultation?”
Rudy:
“Reprimand.”
Sybil:
“Ohohoho. Yes, just wanted to let ya know Nexus left a kill contract for Carla.”
Rudy:
“Fuck.”
They put aside the papers they were working on, grab their smartphone and start typing up a message.
Rudy:
“How bad is it?”
Sybil:
“Ten million.”
Rudy:
“A ten million kill contract for someone who stole a hundred grand?!”
Sybil:
“I guess it’s about sending a message. Letting your friends know?”
Rudy throws their phone aside.
Rudy:
“Don’t you also have business with them?”
Sybil:
“I’ve got nothing against that, just askin’. I’m waiting for someone to track them down before cashing in the favor.”
Rudy:
“Just don’t get caught, please.”
Her iconic shit-eating grin grows wider.
Sybil:
“And what will they do, fire me?”
Rudy gives her a tired look, Sybil smiles on through it.
Sybil:
“How’s your project coming along? Ya find anything?”
Rudy:
“Eh, the Headmaster keeps me busy on purpose, I barely have time for it. He knows damn well, that if he prevents me from--”
Damon:
“Excuse me?”
Rudy:
“Perfect, you’re here. Thanks for keeping me informed Syb.”
Sybil:
“Anytime, Sugar.”
The squirrel gives a hard pat on Damon’s shoulder and leaves. The lemming closes the door behind himself and sits in front of the samoyed. Rudy reaches into a drawer in their desk and pulls out a stack of papers, dropping it with a thud in front of Damon.
Rudy:
“Mr. Damon, this is your next assignment. Read it out loud, now.”
Damon shoots Rudy a terrified look. Rudy tilts their head, puzzled at the lemming’s reaction.
