Ch. 34: A New Character, Talos
"Mister-- Lord Hades, please calm down." Pine said while reaching one hand to his back, made .wonder if he had a gun there. Now that would make laugh. "What we just have is re facts that are yet to be fully idealized--"
He gasped as I started to approach him, I was done here as it was. I swear I don't know what Pine was finding behind his back but it was bugging , I walked past him and found his hand empty. "Oh, I get it now." I remarked slightly as I turned and headed towards the woman that had kept silent all the while with her back to the wall, she barely flinched as I stood before her all she did was glare.
She was shorter than I was so the glare didn't seem as threatening. "I have had enough of your mind gas miss or should I say Talos." I kind of expected for her to flinch even by a little but she didn't bat an eye. Now that's problematic.
"You knew?" Was her only response, calm and concise, it made it almost impossible to tell what she was really thinking.
But I knew she was surprised that knew who she was-- thanks to my one good eye. Back at the hotel I analyzed them.
PINE LARS: LESSER GOD
LIKABILITY TO HADES- 0
ROLE TO HADES- CHIEF INVESTIGATOR AT THE BAI CORPS
CONFLICT- SUSPECTS YOU FOR THE MURDER OF HADES
LIKES & PREFERENCES- PUPPIES, COFFEE, OVERWORKING, JUSTICE
DISLIKES- LAZINESS, SNAKES, RENT
POSSIBLE ACTION: AVOID CHARACTER.
After throwing almost all of my domination points into my good eye I could see more of characters information, my prediction was more accurate. If I had this at the party perhaps I could have saved Hers.
When I analyzed the woman I half expected her to be so assistant or trainer, what a surprise when I saw this:
TALOS: ???
LIKABILITY TO HADES- ???
ROLE TO HADES- ???
CONFLICT- ???
LIKES & PREFERENCES- ???
DISLIKES- ???
POSSIBLE ACTION: AVOID CHARACTER (WARNING)
It had baffled, good thing I upgraded the eye. I went back into my room and researched online on this Talos person since I had no knowledge of such a character in Greek mythology. There were a few articles of sorts which all said almost the sa thing and from that I was able to ascertain a number of things:
1. "TALOS" WAS AN UNKNOWN KNOWN AS WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE AND CRIMINAL PROFILER.
2. THE SEX, NA AND AGE OF TALOS WAS UNKNOWN.
3. SO BELIEVED "TALOS" TO BE A SUPER DETECTIVE.
4. "TALOS" ONLY EVER CHOSE CASES AND NEVER ACCEPTED THEM. CASES DEED BIZZARE OR UNSOLVABLE AND ALWAYS SOLVED THEM.
5. "TALOS" WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND.
So I ca to the conclusion that this "super detective" was drawn to this case a little too early. "Just what piques your interest detective? The fact that a god died or the fact that you get to put or one of the twelve in jail? I have a gut feeling that most of your buddies words and actions were all orchestrated by you."
Talos was simple mute for a few seconds before she spoke again. "Your eyes are bold, your breath is a bit shaky, your hands quite coordinated. A little too coordinated in my opinion. You are either good at hiding your true intentions or you are just that good at it."
Oh right, try to ss my head with whatever mumbo jumbo you've got. I won't crack, but for the eye to warn about her she must be dangerous.
"I will be on my way detective, I know the leads may all point to but I'll find the bastard who did this and pop him wide open like a can of soda." I said to her face as I turned to leave.
"How rather convenient, a tendency for misanthropy. He could be trying to prove his innocence by rashly overreacting or perhaps warning us that we have to way to apprehend him, that is if he is guilty of the cri." I heard her say to herself, did she not see standing there.
I walked calmly to the door and shoved Pine out of the way as he tried to stop . Like what was he thinking by the way? That he could stop the god of the underworld from leaving? And just who the hell was this "TALOS"? I reached for the door and turned the knob when I saw:
THE CHARACTER "TALOS" HAS SET HER SIGHTS ON YOU.
THE CHARACTER "TALOS" SEES YOU AS ITS PREY.
"Till this investigation is closes all off world travel from Olympus is now banned." She added.
Yeah, she is annoying. Like so real piece of work out of a detective novel. As I left and slamd the door behind I wondered if I should have read more of detective stories than I did of Greek mythology. I navigated my way out of the Bai Corps headquarters, it was very much like a police station— really brings back old mories.
Only that ti I was at the wrong side of the bar, wasn't a good mory also wasn't bad either-- it was hell.
What had I learned so far aside that there is now so psychotic b**ch after my head just for the fun of it.
1. I WAS THE PRI SUSPECT OF THE INVESTIGATION.
2. I WAS BEING FRAD, SO THE PERSON MUST HAVE BEEN A MASTERMIND OR THEY HAVE A SORT OF COLONY TO PLAN THIS OUT.
3. WHAT IS BLACK AMBER? IF IT IS ONLY ENCLUSIVE TO THE UNDERWORLD THEN— IS HECATE INVOLVED, CONSIDERING SHE IS STILL ABSENT.
4. WITH TRAPPED ON OLYMPUS I HAVE TO ASSU THAT THOSE AFTER MY HEAD ARE STILL HERE.
5. MY FIRST LEAD IS FINDING OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO HERS, TO DO THAT I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE SCENE OF THE CRI AND USE MY BLOODY EYE ON EVERY GODDAMN THING THERE.
6. "TALOS" IS A THREAT, NOT SURE HOW MUCH BUT THE EYE IS AFTAID OF HER.
I stepped out of the building and over to my car after running down everything I had gone through one more ti, making sure to not miss a thi— Oh Right!! I ca in the detective's car so I don't know if I am going to get a free ride back. Guess I'll just walk back then.
I started down the side walk in the beautiful afternoon sun, now that I thought of it— there was no sun in the underworld so there was no day, only night anwhile here had both. How envious I was....
BRRRRZZ!
Huh!? My phone? I dug my hand into my pocket and took it out, just who the hell would be calling my line?:
INCOMING CALL
UNKNOWN NUMBER
ACCEPT / REJECT
I had a bad feeling about this in the pit of my stomach, but I picked the call regardless. I placed it to my ear and said nothing, only continuing my carefree walk down the path before .
INCOMING CALL
UNKNOWN NUMBER
01:07
REJECT
Still static huh? Now I was begging to feel like a fool, did whoever was on the other end think this was a ga or sothing. I was enraged, "Hey! Listen whoever you are if you don't--"
"HI! IT'S —!"
My chest felt funny from the familiarity with the voice. "HER— S?"
