Chapter 17: chapter 16



"Rudy were you rude to this guy by chance?" Ruby ask her brother. "Of course not. I only said I wanted to ask him some questions" Rudy says defensively

"He's hiding something" a member of the Shattered Quill shouts from their work station, their word was hunch allowing them to have feelings about stuff which usually turned out right 95% of the time.

"I may have threatened to beat him up a little" Rudy mutters rubbing the back of his head. "Rudy you can't threaten to beat someone up just because they don't want to answer you. What if he turned out to be Omnipotent! You would have been killed before you could do anything!" Ruby chastised her brother grabbing a heavy book from her desk slamming it on top of her brother's head

"You're a right dumbass sometimes you know that?" Ruby says flopping back in her seat huffing as her brother rubbed the top of his head "that hurt you..." He complains before his sister cuts him off "Good you deserved it"

"Ruby seriously though something was off about him. It was like he didn't care about the fact I teleported in front of him from outside normal eyeline" Rudy says "you know most travel types can't teleport anywhere without seeing it first"

"Maybe he assumed you could see where you appeared," Ruby counters. "No I teleported in front of him. He didn't even flinch. I got it. I'll be back in a few minutes"

Walking over to the member with the hunch word he grabs his shoulder "I need your help Clive," he says, "I want to ask someone some questions and you'll tell me if he's lying or hiding something "

"Actually it's Clyde sir" the worker says

"Whatever. Let's go" Rudy says teleporting them away as they were in front of the small restaurant as Milo was walking out a bag in his shoulder the pair following him, even though one didn't really want to do this.
