Looking toward the rising sun, Gus squinted his eyes. Heâd taken a brief nap at their camp after running Trish down in the woods.
As had she.
Now, he knew he needed to head into the plant and see what he could figure out.
Everything revolved around that one location here and it was likely the way into the underground facility.
Looking at the wild-haired Dryad, Gus made sure she was alright. There were several bite marks on her shoulders and neck, and her makeup was a bit smeared from sweat, but she looked fine otherwise.
He then turned his attention to the camouflage bubble sheâd put up around them.
All sheâd done was take his own magic, stolen it from him quite literally, and then expanded it. Embedding the magic into the trees around the site and then feeding it power from the earth.
Sheâd be joining him later tonight and entering the plant afterhours.
Provided he could determine what was going on before then, during the day.
Picking up his Bluetooth device from its charging case, he slipped it into his ear.
âDonât forget to aim the solar panel,â cautioned Serafina as soon as he got the earpiece firmly situated.
âYes, dear,â Gus said with a smirk.
Reaching down, he grabbed the solar panel that was part of the generator theyâd stolen and angled it to the east.
âOf course, Gustaâ Gus. I have to watch out for you. Youâre my Indigo,â Serafina replied. âI⦠love you.â
Well, thatâs different.
âShe was up a good part of the night, reading what looked like some type of comic book. I didnât see much of it, but it clearly had the look of a romance to it,â Indali said. âDo remember, sheâs very young.â
Nodding his head, Gus did have to remember that while Serafina was technically mature, she was still young in years.
âLove you too, Sera. Now, off we go,â murmured Gus.
Adjusting his clothes, making sure Indali was strapped tight to him, he fled the campsite.
Leaping upward, he caught hold of a tree branch, braced his feet on it, and propelled himself higher and further.
In seconds, he was actually moving from tree to tree much faster than he could have run along the ground.
Even when a branch broke or a tree shifted more than he expected, his body could recover far quicker than his mind could even keep up with.
âIâm still surprised you had sex with Trish while in your Boogieman form,â Indali commented as Gus exited the wooded area and landed down near the perimeter fence of the plant. âYouâve never done that.â
Blinking, Gus realized she was right.
That was something heâd never done in his entire life.
In fact, when he put his mind to it, he felt incredibly comfortable right now.
The mere thought of going back to his Human self sounded restrictive.
Grunting, Gus got down low and shot up over the fence in a single bound. Landing on the other side without an issue.
Looking around, he didnât see anything to cause him concern and started forward toward the plantâs wall.
It was a very large building.
