[QUOTE="writernextdoor, post: 6045554, member: 6689303"] "I have eaten better men than you." Mace smiled. "I'm not the one trapped like a rat." He checked his watch. "Sunrise is in two hours and fifty-eight minutes. First question: What do we call you?" The creature stirred, cocking its head to one side the way a poodle might. Then its mouth split open in a bad smile. "Call me Gary." "You're a centuries old creature named Gary?" "I am not so dumb as to give people my real name." Mace shrugged. "Okay Gary, what are you doing with the kids?" Gary was silent. "Mike, what's he doing with the kids?" Mace spoke aloud. The new communicator [Digital Intrusion Cherry] had better work. "The kids are window dressing. An experiment, to see if groups of people can be controlled through properties." "Properties how?" "Like real estate. People are tied to locations. They're exploiting that." "Gary, third question - Why hasn't your team attacked us? Torn us to shreds? Fed us our organs?" Gary paced his confinement. "I believe this witchcraft cage you have me in has cut me off from communicating with them." "Thank the lunatic. He found it in an old church text book." Gary nodded slowly. "And what does the mighty Mace Hunter intend to do? Burn me to ash in the morning sun?" "Gary, last question - who do you answer to?" "I'm answering your questions." "No. Who's your superior? Who's the boss?" "You cannot fathom the depths of your own ignorance Mace Hunter. The 'boss' is something so truly horrific I dare not speak its name." Rossini chimed in, "I told you Voldemort is real." "Okay," Mace continued, "then if you're a pawn on the chessboard, tell me about the rooks or knights." The creature spit green and brown spittle on the ground. "I've not been a pawn since before this country was founded. On the board I am a Knight." "Queen or King?" "Queen." [BS Detection 1] "Forgive me Gary, I find it hard to believe you take orders from a woman." "The Queen, in this metaphor, is beyond gender." An hour passed, the two just watching each other. "So Gary, the stone on the ground, you've not made eye contact with it. Why?" "It sleeps." "And you don't want to wake it?" Gary said nothing. [/QUOTE]
