"Hmmmm no. I'll go with you. This sounds important. Do you know why she left?"
"No-no brother. When me-me asked her she just said "shut your mouth foul mink". Me thinks she's angry with me-me."
"That doesn't sound like her."
"No offense brother-friend but that sounds just like her-her."
You shake your head.
"No. But anyway we can think about that later. Now can you show me the way she went? And uh... did you say she can fly?"
"Yes-yes!"
"Okay. Then we'll follow her through the air! Hold on."
You transform into your hybrid state and lift Dexter up by his shoulders and have him point you in the right direction using his nose. You fly over a few more rings until you reach the innermost one. With the minks help you have no trouble locating her and you find Pepe standing near the very middle of the place in what looks like a crater at first glance but it's simply the most deeply dug part of the mine. She's talking with who appears to be a prisoner but something's off about him. The robust, dark skinned man is unlike all the other prisoners you've seen here. He's neither malnourished nor does he look like his spirit has been broken. Likely the only thing they did to him on this island is shave his blonde hair. In fact just from a glance you can tell that he is strong. Strong enough that he likely could've killed one of the wardens on his own, just not all of them.
"I appreciate the assist."
He spoke as he rubbed his newly freed wrists.
"Spare the gratitude Saturn. It's pure coincidence that I'm here. And were it not for the current circumstances you'd executed for your failure. So you follow my orders now. Understood."
"I'm aware and I understand. What is needed of me?"
Pepe looks up at you.
"That."
"Oh? Am I to die then?"
"Not yet."
You land before them after setting down Dexter and walk up to Pepe.
"Hey Clown! Friend of yours?"
The black man remains expressionless.
"Ah. Now I understand."
"I'm glad we are on the same page. Now hold it..."
"What's going on Clown? And more importantly why did you leave Dexter? If you wanted to free your buddy you could've just asked me."
She smirks.
"I'm afraid not. Because our partnership is about to come to an end. Captain..."
She speaks in a mocking tone and she's visibly disgusted just by saying that word.
You want to speak up and ask her what she means but when you take a deep breath to make a sound you suddenly feel light headed. Smirking Clown takes out two masks from behind her and hands one over to her friend before donning her own. With a simple sleight of hand trick she pulls out one of the dials you gave her. A breath dial to be specific.
