79 Deception (2/2)
”How much is this demand anyway?” Rain asks.
”About 35% of our products sold are crystals.”
SHIT!
I kick the car pretty hard in my frustration and something inside ends up breaking apart, causing the vehicle to stop.
”Well, look who just broke your car, Grey.” Rain says with a frown.
”Rain, not the time. I think I know where that bitch is going.” I say.
”And where is it?” As Aknin enquires it from the back-seat, all four of them turn to me for the answer.
”Well, actually, there are two places in mind and she could be going to any one of them.” I say, ”We got distracted by the crystal part especially because you two own gem shops, but that never had anything to do with her plan. In order for her to make sure Irium and Roswaisa kill us all, she needs – first of all – for Roswaisa to survive the encounter against Aknin. And for that, I doubt she'll let Irium and Danny handle everything. I bet she's going to try to tweak the past herself if necessary.”
”Okay, that makes sense. What about it?” Rain asks to make me hurry to the point.
”Well, the things is, Rain, in order for her to do that without going back in time (which we know isn't in her plan or she would have already done it), she'll need to form a connection with Roswaisa to make sure she can do the 'adjustments' she need.”
”That also makes sense, but what about it?” Rain seems to be losing her patience so I better get the point.
”Well, the only way for her to form a connection with a dead Angel is through the summoning symbols used for summoning her.”
”Oh, damn!” Grey says, ”There are two of those symbols, one in Danny's house and another is Irium's house.”
Yeah, those are two places she was summoned in.
”So, we need to check both of them out?” Rain asks, probably just to confirm.
”Yes!” I answer.
”Hah!” Rain sighs and says, ”It's quite understandable why Lucifer sent two Demons and two humans on the scouting.”
Wait! That's true. That bastard! Did he know about all this? Probably not, but he did it just to make sure. Anyway, time to move out.
”Jessica, you come with me.” Rain says and leaves Grey with me.
”And what about me?” Aknin inquires, seemingly ready to fight.
”You stay at the top of a building and keep watch to make sure nothing fishy happens on either side.” Rain says.
”But that's the most boring and energy consuming job of all.” Aknin complains, and get silences by a glare from Rain.
”Alright then, let's get on with it!” I say and we all move out in the three different groups we have formed. It's time to bring this charade to its rightful end.
