[QUOTE="talien, post: 5486433, member: 3285"] [b]Gothic: Part 9 – Just a Lick[/b] Jim-Bean explained what had happened to Thredra. "Spies!" she sighed. "There's no way Knightsbridge should have been able to get past our defenses. If he was infested by a Shan, that means PISCES is moving on us." "The brain spider in his head escaped." Thredra paced. "Damn. Yes, it will report back. We haven't much time. You need to find Nadasdy and put an end to this." She pointed at her two giant hulks. "Toodles, Twiddles, gather my things." The two hulks slowly lumbered towards her desk. "You're leaving?" "We're all going to have to leave soon. Contact me once you are finished with Nadasdy—" "Oh yeah, we got your tongue." Jim-Bean handed her a jar filled with red fluid. Thredra looked inside. "A messy job, but it'll do." She smiled at Jim-Bean and he couldn't help but notice her bone-white teeth. "I'm impressed. You are a man of your word. I thought it would take you weeks." Jim-Bean snorted. "We don't exactly have a lot of time here." "Too true." She peered past Jim-Bean's shoulder. In the hallway, she could make out Guppy, who was rocking and muttering to himself, his hands drenched in blood. "What's wrong with him?" Jim-Bean didn't look back. He knew exactly what was wrong with Guppy. "Him? That's our muscle." Thredra arched an eyebrow. "Really?" Jim-Bean nodded. "Once he sets his mind to something there's no stopping him." He shrugged. "But you have your tongue, so let's leave it at that." "Fair enough," she said. "Hurry back soon, Andy." Thredra blew him a kiss. Jim-Bean closed the door behind him as he entered the hallway, happy to close that gruesome chapter of his life. Guppy's eye twitched, a pathetic smile on his face. "So you told her about the tongue we found?" Archive and Hammer exchanged looks. "Yeah," said Jim-Bean. "The tongue we found perfectly preserved in that jar that Knightsbridge was keeping." He lied. "She said it counts as a living tongue, so we're good." "So she's not going to take my tongue?" Guppy sounded like a ten year old talking to Santa. "No, Guppy," said Hammer. "Nobody's going to take anybody's tongue." He patted Guppy on the back. "That's good," said Guppy. His shoulders sagged. "That's good." Jim-Bean shouldered past them. "Come on.
