In the eyes of Natalie.
While I was sweeping off more small gangs outside town I came across more letters from Dealer about more instructions apparently every letter I've collected has different lettering, different font, different words even. Next on my list is to get those VHS tapes before it was already ruined. The one's I found were already ruined and were beyond playback. He uses white phosphorus to destroy the evidence.
Smart bastard. As I check around the map for the next possible suspects and people of interests I headed to the next town. Good thing it was the weekend I don't have school to worry at the moment. Hour after hour nothing but false leads. It's getting harder and harder to find this bastard of a Arms Dealer.
Great I feel like a federal officer now. So I called a info broker I know named Arc. He picked up the call quite quickly. "Hello, Arc I know this call is out of spite but can you find me a person named Dealer."
"Oh hi there Princess. You mean that one nobody who blew up in the arms dealing industry after Vaughn left." Said Arc.
"Yes, could you do a background check too if you could find him." Calling at this hour while I'm waiting on a rooftop of a building.
"Okay, I do have some background info about him. It says here that he is of unknown origin and says that he became an Arms dealer because the opportunity was right with 'Killjoy gone I could dominate his remaining shares so I will become the biggest Arms Dealer. That's all, and that's all I ever wanted.' Pretty forward with his statement there." Said Arc.
"Anything else other than that? Like his physical looks or a photo of him?"
"I'm looking at it right now. Well sadly no photo of him at least one seems like everyone on the information board are trying to find him as well. They say they only know him by his use of VHS audio tapes. Other than that nothing." Said Arc.
"Thanks for the help I'll transfer you the money for the he-" Arc suddenly cuts me off while I was saying something.
"Wait, before that I have found something it's a message. Man this is scary... Princess you better read this. It's for you from the man you're looking for. I'll send you the message just wait for it and oh yeah. You don't need to pay for that one it's on the house from me. Anyways see ya Princess." Arc hangs up after he sent the message.
'Hello there Miss Lightning. I know you've been trying to find me and I do respect your effort with your determination trying to uncover my identity. You come so far yet so little progress how about I help you find me just go to the place where you found that broken VHS tape from a few days ago.
I trust you will be going there alone just bring a VHS player let's talk. Because I maybe a pest to your Organization but trust me I know better than joining the likes of Null. Better be there before that tape expires and I know you're gonna report this to your higher ups. We're just all pawns in this game of cat and mouse Lightning.
I'll bring some sense into you once you listen to that VHS tape. Don't keep me waiting, the Dealer is always ahead of everyone of you.'
The hell he knows about Null and the Organization. He has eyes everywhere or something he knows where I last found a VHS tape there. I stood up from the rooftop ledge to begin moving out to the last place I went to with a VHS player.
About an hour later...
I arrived at the last place I've been in and I saw a box there with a letter named 'For Miss Lightning'.
'Ah yes Miss Lightning this should be you if you are reading this. Play the tape.'
As I slide in the VHS tape into the player audio began to play.
"Ah yes Miss Lightning I suggest you bring first a pen and paper before we begin come on take your time, if you ever do change your mind of course. This is a prerecorded message so sadly I can't answer your question but I will tell you everything I know and why I'm doing this directly at you, and why I hate the new order."
There was a long pause as I prepare to record the tape from my communicator. Also is he doing this to get back to the Organization?
"Did you get your way of recording this message? I'm sorry about saying about the pen and paper I know your exosuit is capable of recording data on its own. I cannot disclose my name nor my appearance for the sake of not being cross-examined by you. My name is Dealer, I'm the man you're looking for.
Let's begin with why I'm doing this. I don't know why you don't Miss Lightning, you have the power to single handedly wipe off the entire Organization on your own without breaking a sweat. I know you have students back at your normal school or so the kids think is. Soon you'll understand it.
Now let's get back to topic. I'm doing this because you are not doing it. I'm rebelling against this one sided war of theirs. I am a devote follower of Mr. Killjoy he was my hero. But when I heard news that the Organization placed a bounty on his head I knew the Organization shouldn't be trusted. Null made you weak, the Organization is now weak and under the control of Null.
I'm giving you a chance to change your mind Miss Lightning. Your student's freedom or their sanity and humanity? Now, secondly why I hate the new order. They're all lies Miss Lightning. The new order is a secret project of the Organization you may not know nor the others in your rank despite being the most powerful soldier in your unit. No one knows what is new order.
No one will give you details not even a name. You don't know what goes in the Organization's heads at the special division. And that child soldiers are being manufactured to the biggest bidder. All paths lead to the Organization being part of it. I tell you this would you want your students to be in that situation? I'll give you a few minutes to think about it."
The hell is he talking about... New Order? Him knowing my students? Manufactured child soldiers?
