Chapter 30

Roth ran under the moonlight through the streets of the commercial district. He went past Merchant Street, Carpenter Street, and Tinkerer Street while praying that no one from the IronIre squad would be there looking for him. Every shadow and every player that glanced in his direction sent his heartbeat into disarray.

Even though the lighting was poor, the stark white stone of the citadel reflected the many torches lit around it, making it perfectly visible even from down here. It was as if the garrison tried to say that justice was still working even in the darkest of nights. Not that they were helping Roth tonight.

He darted through alleys, jumped over crates, and was almost run over by carriages pulled by horses or stomped over by herds of oxen. Every time he saw the animals, he felt sick. This was a pebble in his shoe that he hadn’t been able to remove. Not a day went by that he didn’t think of the many animals being whipped, being forced to work around the city against their will, and what he could do to help them. But his fight against injustice didn’t end there.

There was also the Gazpachos quest to finish. He already had a working knowledge of the schedule of the big shots in the family. However, he still had to prepare and collect information on the family to finally enter the witness protection program. Even with Drake and the 14th on his side, the list of things Roth had to care for grew. He wished he could unlock a class where he could create clones of himself to send on errands or quests.

Even though Roth was lost in dark thoughts, he still found his way to the abandoned well that secretly led into the sewers and dove back into filth and darkness. Speed was paramount right now. He would have a narrow window of opportunity.

Instead of taking the torch or the glowshroom out this time, he navigated exclusively using the map. He didn’t want to increase the chance of being spotted; darkness was his friend. He ran, hoping the group of oozing monsters he had first met was not guarding the tunnel where he had first found them. To his relief, the tunnel was empty now.

He ran while seeing the blank spot in his map complete. Up ahead, there was a faint light. It kept changing colors as if someone was watching TV in a dark living room. It shifted between purple, red, and green. There was also a slow rhythmic distant beat. After coming closer, Roth could finally determine the cause of the lights and sounds.

Two gatorbots were huddled in a corner. Installed into the walls were two machines that kept blinking with purple lights. The gatorbots were on the floor, flashing with red lights. Every time they started blinking with green lights, their engines started humming, and just as they began hovering off the ground, the two devices in the wall flashed red, making the drones fall flat on the floor with a big bang.
