Snippet #1692507

"Yes yes, it's tine to go," Locke said with a look of haste. He hopped between feet impatiently as both children stood. Once they were both up he retreated to the main room to where Puck stood by the staircase. His twin looked bothered and sleepy; hopefully all of their minds would be cleared when they retrieved Vin and... Shiki. The thought of bringing him back along was irritating. They didn't need anyone else to burden them.

He scratched his head, sighed, and turned back to his three companions. "We should keep together as a group and when we get inside, split up. Try not to make any racket or trouble until we're on our way out. Then I guess we could just destroy as much as we can." Memories of their previous escape from the Syndicate base racked his memories. Unfortunately, he was sure that this time they wouldn't do as much damage; at that point in time, their redheaded leader hadn't had any control over her powers.

"Where should we go to after we escape?" Puck asked with a frown. "I mean, we can't go back to the old base. The Syndicate already knows it's there.."

"Didn't Vin once tell us about some friends she'd made while with the Syndicate?" Locke said thoughtfully. "I was sure that she said something about an underground boarding house for unwanted contractors, moritoriums, and dolls."

His twin shrugged. "Whatever. Let's just get Vin back." A frown on his lips, he clambered up the stairs and into the darkness of the night.
