She froze as his voice pinned her for a moment. Her mind slipping in and out of sanity, she spun around to face him, her blue eyes tearing up "I naught meant to hurt em likkee" she sniffed then blinked and grinned with a manic smile "BUT I LIKKKEEDD IT" she screamed, racing forward she made to run at him, at the last second feigning left, but taking a right. Mocking him with her movements so clear and precise in the darkness, and racing behind him up a chute above that lead to another room, she dropped down and waited for him.
The mayor and his wife were bound to a steam pipe, somehow still alive.
The wifes face was partially burnt and she was slumped forward, her head resting on her heaving chest. The mayor was tied on the other side of the pipe, his hands bound against the boiling hot pipe, the metal of the cuffs heating up and burning against his flesh. Heat raced through the pipe every three hours, warming the clean hospital right above. The mayors eyes lifted as Rina raced up to him, grabbing his chin and looking into his eyes "this one is fresh" she grinned.
She was like a cat, presenting a toy to her owner. Her smile wide as she waited on the Knightfall's reaction to her darlings set up, she was crestfallen when he did not smile "Arrow said you'd be pleased" she bit her lip, turning on a cutesy voice. "Did we do badddd" she kicked out at the pair, drawing attention to the bomb system strapped between them, it's flashing digits counting down 10 minutes from the moment they entered the room "OH WELL" she cried "YOU CAN'T SAVE THEM, UNLESS YOU'RE NICE TO MEEEE" she lifted out a note left inside the mayors wifes mouth, sliding the tube of paper out she handed it to Morte, inside Arrows sleek handwriting twisted across, he had used their child's blood to write out a note. As she did, a small leather pouch shifted on the woman's chest the bag rattled slightly. Rina lifted it and handed it and the note to Morte, the bag contained tiny teeth.
The note read:
Well done! I am so proud you followed the clues and found my little present. Do you like my new helper? she's ever so mad. Now that you've met her, ask her nicely and she'll give you the clue to the little boom that we planted. I can't make everything so easy for you in the future. I decided to keep the littlelest one, I was ever so lonely
Sweet dreams.
