Before you answer, you try to use your x-ray vision to look into B-WORM’s brain. It doesn’t work. X-ray vision is a scam. Or maybe you need to practice it…
“I heard there’s a big event coming. The mafia will go crazy.” You respond.
“Any details?” B-WORM doesn’t show a hint of surprise.
“About their plan? Nothing specific. All I know is that they are trying to gather as many of their men as they can to take over the city streets.” You shrug.
“They’re trying to conceal a damning piece of information from their leader.” B-WORM knows a thing or two. “Supposedly, it’ll create a domino effect that will shift the balance of power of the entire city.”
“You mean the scroll? Yeah, there’s no need to tell me about it.” You adjust your glasses.
“You’re in the know?” B-WORM raises an eyebrow.
“In the know? I found the damn thing.” You don’t want to brag. “Don’t tell anyone though.”
“You work with Ms. Summers? I should’ve seen that one coming.” B-WORM smirks. “Then you’ll be pleased to know the evidence is in good hands. Genesis is corroborating the information as we speak. We’ll be the ones leaking it as soon as we can. As soon as I’m done with my shift, I’ll be by her side.”
“Right, she works at that newspaper...” You recall the froggy girl you and B-WORM saved from the cult! She’s his childhood friend, and another brainwashed victim from Ammirati’s scheme... “W-Wait, isn’t this stuff really dangerous? Why is she doing this?” Penning her name to this news will put a target on her!
“Genesis’ mentor and Ms. Summers were buddies, regrettably, he died under strange circumstances. The big scoop fell on her lap, and she felt duty bound to the truth. If someone has a strong sense of justice, it’s her. And it’s what the old man would’ve done. And if a newspaper doesn’t legitimize the report, your efforts will be nothing.” B-WORM explains. “It’d end as another strange rumor for online conspiracies to latch onto.”
“Damn, if I knew I’d put you two in the spot, I would’ve thought twice about doing it.” You scratch the back of your head.
“Heh, if anything, we should be the ones thanking you. It’s our chance for payback against these criminals for what they did to Mr. Carpertier.” B-WORM is pretty satisfied.
“Anything I can help you with?” You wonder.
“Rest easy, friend. We’re prepared; and with the Twins back, we’re untouchable.” B-WORM oozes confidence. “You should aim for bigger goals than bodyguarding. Not that it thrills me to do this myself.”
“Twins? Don’t tell me… Squarefelix and Roundbert?” You raise an eyebrow.
“I’m going to assume that you’re the mysterious force that took them out of jail.” B-WORM can’t help but laugh.
