"....So now what do we do?"
"There you two girls are hiding.
We've been calling and calling."
"Oh shoot.
Ummmmmmmmmm…..we....."
"Eheemm!!!"
"Hey, that's my phone. Give it back."
"Can you trace the last call that was made on this phone, and then put a microphone in it?"
"Ma'am, there is already a...Ohhhh....I see."
"What? What's going on? Do I need to wear a wire?"
"That won't be necessary. The phone should do just fine, so that we can hear what you hear."
"I don't know about this. He seemed very cooperative as is.
Wanting to turn over a new life, thanks to me."
"But he's not going to turn it over to us, and that's what matters.
We tried stuff your way, Ruby. Wasn't the point of this trip to gain more trust in the next generation? Figure out what it is they do, and then bring it back home?"
"........Fine......we'll do it your way.
What's my code word?"
"You tell me."
"Okay, but if I feel things are going sideways; I will pull out."
"That's fine."
".......And him."
"Ruby, Royals are not the enemy."
"Ha. If that were the case, I wouldn't exist."
"Ruby, wait. You still haven't....
*Zroom*
...Told us your code word."
"What should we do?
Pull her out?"
"No.
She's too valuable, and we have never been this close.
She's been in my Kingdom less than three days and she has already made friends.....enemies.....and the most powerful friendimie.
Tell me, how does she do it? What's her secret?"
"............She's nice to people."
"Am I not nice?"
"......Yes."
"I saw you hesitate.
Come on. Go get your men in position and ready."
"Whose word should we wait upon?"
"...Mine.....Jarrod.
Mine.
I can't believe you even asked that."
"Well, it's just that Ruby is…I mean....of course.
Your word it is.
….I'll tell you what I find."
"Would Ruby really pull Theo out if I sent my Men in too early?"
"........I can keep an eye on her for you.
She trusts me."
"You certain?"
"Have I ever waivered?"
*Ring...Ring...…Ring...Ring*
"Hun, I told you; I got this.
If you're late, I'll pick them up."
"That's fine if you pick them up, I just want to tell you where to drop them off."
"More bonding food is not going to replace QUALITY TIME...You should be spending.
They need more Kids their own age, yes; but they also need you."
"And they'll have me, but they'll also have someone else joining us this Eve."
"......Who'd you invite?
Another guy from your group? Taking them out for their first Iniciation?"
"She's a girl, and she's not from my group, nor do I plan on having her be."
"Then what do you plan on having her be?
Do I know her?"
"No. But you will."
