"Have you never heard of stairs?"
"If you don't use it, you'll lose it.
By the way, where'd you pick up this bad boy?
I don't think your boss would just give you a new one, after we abandoned his old one."
"I told you, they're Fleet vehicles.
As long as it drives, he doesn't care which car it is."
"So you stole it?"
"It'll still show up as 'Mile's progress' on his Stats."
"Where we headed?
A castle or a....."
"Ruby, things may have changed as far as rules and laws, but Matters are still discussed in a Castle. Not to worry."
"I see the rides have changed though.
Be honest. You didn't get this from your boss? These butterfly doors do not...."
"Ruby, the word 'fleet' and the word 'clone', are two very separate words but for you I only have one.
WOW."
"You like it."
"Can hardly tell who I am driving right now. The hitchhiker who loves stealing things off the street, and thinking yogurt cups are the best way of a thank you...…"
"Hey."
"......Or the beautiful princess who was secretly testing me for an undercover mission, of the utmost importance.
So, how'd I do?"
"Well, I haven't died. Haven't gone to prison, and you have done your best to keep me out of the public eye and not boost me; so I'd say you're in."
"Great, so what's the mission?"
"Actually, it's so undercover that I don't want to get you involved."
"You fear for my safety?
My only concern is to better you, Ruby.......by driving you around."
"Okay, but you have to keep this on the downlow….for now. Promise?"
"Can I tell my Queen?"
"No."
"Why not? If it's a matter of security, she has a right to know."
"You wanted to know more about me, so here goes.
I'm the one that infiltrats Kingdoms...finds the bad.....eradicates it….."
"Gets paid?"
"......Leaves."
"So, you're not a Mercenary Princess? Ruby, one needs money to live. Nobody serves for free and settles with respect."
"Oh, I don't and have never 'served' for money or respect.
In fact, the reason why I am here is because the Children of the very parents I protected and served my whole life; they kicked me out because they don't respect me like...….at all.
So, the few that still do, thought it of my safety and utmost importance that I should lay low and leave; while they handle the Majority."
"And yet you're here to meet the queen, while at the same time going on Missions that even she can't know of.
I'd say that is Reckless, don't you think?"
"When you only have yourself to protect your six, then no.
Can I trust on you?"
"Is this mission dangerous?"
"Very."
"Costly?"
"It will take everything from you."
"Timely?"
"Kiss your wife and Kids goodbye. Tell them you love them, and go out for a night raid."
"Ohhhh. You want me to be a spy?
Who am I scouting out?"
"Theo.
While I am having lunch with Rosa, I know Drivers aren't supposed to leave their post, but I am sure Rosa and her men can protect me.
I need you to...….
I need you to pick up all the dirt you can on Theo and his 'gang' of merry men.
Drive around, and report back anything that you see, but whatever you do.....don't....get involved."
"Ruby, if you're involved with them in any way, then so am I."
"No.
Everytime I love someone....they die.
Please.
Don't be the hero."
"......Fine."
"This must be the place, eh?"
"In all its glory."
"Ready to go in?"
"Do I get security too?"
*Click*
"Wait, wait, wait, wait."
"What?"
"Allow me to open your door for you."
"Oh, quite the gentleman, I see."
"Thank you. But...Theo's men are watching from across the street. If they weren't scared of you before, they definitely are now.....seeing that you must have an entourage of Personal at your disposal."
"Observant, and very Peripheral. I think we can make a Soldier out of you yet."
