Chapter Twelve

Moreover, they made the most energetic reprisals on their opponents, and

as they were distinctly the tough and fighting element, justice came to her

own with a whoop.

Theodore Roosevelt- “An Autobiography"

“Look, can you use it or not?” Abel gestured to the walkie-talkie, rapidly losing his patience. “You are a damn Wave Phase, right? You should be able to use whatever GOS bullshit this thing is emitting to find the other one.”

“The GPS is working fine.” Story didn’t bother to look up from her video game as Princess Peach skidded across frozen blocks in Super Mario Bros. II. “God, buy a TV or something, Abel. It’s embarrassing how little you know about the world.”

“Story.” Chason wanted to go back to his kingdom and hide in the gloom. He did not want to be stuck at the Wave Palace, arguing with a lunatic. Story was addicted to vintage video games and even the repetitive synthesized beeps and sound effects were too close to music for Chason’s peace of mind. He felt a clawing sensation inside of him and struggled to ignore it. “Can you help or not?”

“Theoretically, yes. It’s a really high end little device, with the GPS and all. Anything that works off a satellite like that, I can manipulate. And, since I’m soooo talented, I can probably defy some laws of nature and find the other one of those things for you.” She arched a brow and shot Chason a quick glance. “The question is… what’s it worth to ya?”

So, who is it and why do you want them?”

“Why do you want to know?” He retorted. Story wasn’t interested in much beyond her Nintendo and Atari collections, so it sure wasn’t any concern for other Phases making her ask.

“I don’t know. I just think it’ll be fun to make you tell me, since you obviously wanna keep it secret, so much.” She grinned.

Chason stared up at the vast ceiling of the Wave Palace and sent up a brief bid for help, even though he no longer believed in anything that might assist him.

Story was such a pain-in-the-ass.

Unfortunately, there were very few Wave Phases left and she was actually the most agreeable of the lot. The Wave House controlled electromagnetic waves. Microwaves, infrared waves, radio waves and so on, came from them. Like most Wave Phases, Story was tall and slim, with a golden brown hair. The streak at her temple was bright pink.

Things would have been so much simpler if the Reprisal had ever recruited someone from the Wave House. Then, they
