Forums » Civilization » Government Highway

A "Secret" and guarded government road that connects to most, if not all, major cities. Government access only, well secluded, shrouded by dense trees and guarded by barbed wire fences on either side. An occasional box on the side of the road marks a hidden sensor that monitors the vehicles traveling.
The truck and bike sped along the government highway. Alexandra monitored their position in regards to the werewolf and local cities. It would be a minute or so before they reached Exit 3 to Dempam. Until then, she continued to dig around on the mobile devices for more information. Currently, she looked at the Library where the tracker had just pinged it's location. It was in a more... shoddy district of the city.
She looked up text messages, internet status updates, and the likes from the area as well. Something about a golem that stole books?

She'd dig into that later.

Alexandra responded to Kadmoss's sudden transmission on the earpiece. "Hey hotshot, mind not giving me second thoughts about letting you use your bike? I almost saw an entire future mission to retrieve you and send your bike off to the scrap heap, probably with you on it!!" She knew Orlando could hear her fuming back there, but she didn't care. If he had any sense he'd keep to himself.
"That being said, don't do anything stupid. Stick to the plan."
"Do you expect me to simply drive along, or do we plan on exiting somewhere?" Orlando snipped as he drove. The question was directed towards Alexandra in the backseat. She had yet to tell him where they were headed.
"Exit three will take us directly to Dempam, right around the outskirts. That's where the werewolf is. Kadmoss, did you copy that? Exit number three will take us right to where we need to go."

She took the time to double check some information. Precision was key for this operation. In her mind, this required every piece to be in it's place.

"We're looking for a Library. Dempam Historical Library, to be exact. Once we exit this route and get into the city, it should be a few blocks to the North. Once we get on city roads, Kadmoss is going to head directly to the library's Northeast corner, and we are going to come up to the southwest corner. Got that, Orlando?"
"Got it, Mistress." Orlando got into the right hand lane as the exit approached.
Kadmoss decided to join in the teasing, hoping to piss off Alexandra more then anything. "So how long you two been sleeping together? Sounds like your having relationship issues."
Orlando snorted with laughter and took a keen interest on the road, leaning closer to the windshield.
"Hey Orlando. I didn't know you were the bdsm submissive type, makes sense that your boss is your mistress too." He grinned evilly, hoping to get under their skin.
*Wilson is the proud owner of a sense of innocence. He has no idea what kind of talk is going on, and thinks that bunk beds are the best way to share a sleeping arrangement with someone*
"If you're into BDSM Kadmoss, I've got a HUGE roll of duct tape just waiting to be rolled across your big mouth. Watch your words!" The tone of Alexandra's threat bit like a rattlesnake. She was not pleased with the conversation at all. Kadmoss had in fact, succeeded at getting under her skin.

Exit Three came into view, and the Truck barreled onto the off ramp. Alexandra kept a close eye on Kadmoss, and seeing that he followed, she lessened the number of things she would reprimand him for at the conclusion of the mission.
A section of a historical wall quickly sunk into the earth to accommodate the entry from the hidden road. What was once a dead-end street became the passage for the group into the lower end of town. The library was just a few blocks away...

... And the pack was almost on the tail of the lone wolf.

"Hey Alex, hypothetically what situation would you need to be in to start taking orders from me."
Alexandra rolled her eyes. This ride needed to go by faster before somebody did something that would end in the truck flipping over, killing them all instantly.
"Unless you were a hunter and I was the monster, I wouldn't be taking orders from the likes of you, and surprise surprise, it's the other way around. I'm the government, you're the monster. Even if I was half dead on the side of this highway, I would probably rather die than do as you say. How's that for an answer?" She replied, smirking.
"It's actually quite helpful, because why would a demon king take orders from a werewolf?"
That was actually a good point.
A VERY good point. Was Kadmoss secretly using his brain?
Alexandra thought on the topic for a second or two, then wrote it down. She looked back in her notes that she had taken upon arriving at the library.
"They made some sort of deal, almost an agreement I think. Whether that gives the werewolf partial control, i'm not sure. You have any insight, perhaps?"

She knew that Gabriel was listening in on their conversation as well. She briefly looked around her, expecting the shadowy demon to appear and make some remark about getting involved in things she shouldn't be. Heh, maybe Gabriel would have an answer for her. That'd be rich, getting information from a demon king about himself.
It was just a little bit longer till the gates of the facility. She could already see the lights just over the trees that blocked out the sides of the road.
"A demon normally takes a host when he's weak, allowing him to recuperate. Though recovering this way takes time, though it also boosts nathaniels power. Meaning that essentially, Gabriel's been usurped as King. If that's the case, my brother is most likely sitting on the magma throne as we speak."
"Hey mom and dad, if you're done bragging about who is more powerful, we've arrived." Orlando pointed out as he turned through the gates and entered the facility.
