Arthur read Elliot's detailed reports of River's hostile invasion of Flame dominated territory in the northeast metropolitan area. The other faction members looked toward him for guidance, now that he was in charge of the Oracle business. The other leaders wanted to kick out River by force, but Arthur wanted to see what had made them choose to invade so abruptly. What in that area made River incur the attention of Flame and Breath? He made sure that everyone in the area kept an open eye on all River activity, and he said not to attack unless they attacked first.

When he learned that all the River intruders were from Mary, Arthur's antenna went up. She had found something. He needed to know what. Rumor had it that she was looking for Demon's Wrath, so maybe she had found a lead. Or maybe she had found something more interesting.

Subtly wasn't her game, so following her actions wouldn't be hard. That was what he needed to do--see what she uncovered before he did anything irrational. Genius. And if she found something dangerous, he'd let the trap get her.

Arthur wondered if the bull would charge.

She did.

Arthur was in the office early that morning after getting an interesting phone call from Elliot. River had attacked in the warehouse district of one of Flame's major cities, but the building was not owned by anyone in Flame. After doing some digging, Elliot had found that the building belonged to an Ella Oden. Nothing was known about the woman, but that was the only building she owned in the whole world. The aftermath of the attack showed nothing. The place had been cleaned up and cleaned out before the sun rose. However, according to Elliot, someone had gotten some exclusive information, for Arthur's eyes only.

"I'm logging into my account as we speak," he said into his cell phone as he entered the password to his e-mail account. "Yes, I got the e-mail."

"Open the attachment." Elliot yawned.

"Elliot, did you get any sleep?" Arthur asked, concerned. The last thing he needed was his number one agent slipping up and getting hurt. Too much depended on him.

"I'll be fine, boss." The man chuckled, which meant no.

Once he had clicked on the attached file, a picture began to download. And right there on his computer screen, in glorious pixels, was an image of Fire Eye standing on the roof with another man in all white whose back was turned toward the camera.

"This is real?" Arthur toes curled in excitement.

"Yes, very. We are trying to comb the city now for her, but I guarantee you she's gone by now. And there's more."

"More?"

"The man she's with--"

"You know him? You can find him?"

"No, sir. Nothing about him could be revealed from that distance, with his back turned. However, the photographer did notice something … wrong."

Arthur was not sure he liked the sound of that. "Wrong?"

"The man just disappeared. Jumped up in the air, and poof."

That made no sense. "Clarify this for me. Because last time I checked, no one can just disappear unless they were never there in the first place.
