Side hurting, Rendal decided he wasn’t leaving his suite. He’d have everyone come to him today. Usually, he preferred showing up at their place of work, especially Artino. The scientist was an idiosyncratic man who absolutely hated being interrupted, and Rendal got a real kick out of doing it.

He couldn’t go down there today, though.

Harold had just left, and now he needed to know how his other bet was going. Rendal wasn’t a simple man with only one plan. He’d learned that lesson back in New Perth. Then, his only plan had been to be voted in as Prefect, and when that hadn’t happened, he’d quickly developed another plan.

It had failed, though.

And his second life had begun, sans everything he cared about.

Now Rendal knew he needed multiple paths to victory. The first was the energy in his blood.

The second was Artino’s current work, deep in the bowels of the compound.

The short man traveled upstairs and knocked on Rendal’s door.

“Come in!” Rendal hoped the man would be perturbed. He’d given him no warning before summoning him.

“Yes, yes, I’m here.” Artino walked through the doorway, his eyes on the floor. He started circling the floor immediately, not lifting his head. “You know I hate it when you interrupt me, Rendal. You know I do. I can’t concentrate if I’m always being interrupted. I can’t do my work, and let me remind you, it’s not an easy task, what you’ve asked me to do.”

He stopped talking and kept pacing his small figure eight across the floor.

Oh, Rendal loved it. He even forgot about his pain for a few moments. The man would pace like this for an hour or more if Rendal said nothing, lost in his thoughts.

Alas, there was no time.

“Calm down, Artino. It’s going to be okay.” He treated the man better than the rest of his underlings because the scientist was worth more. He was a positive genius. No one else on the continent could do what he was doing, or what he’d already done with draining energy from people. A genius had to be given a little leeway.

“Okay. Okay. What do you want, Rendal? Why did you call me up here?”

Rendal decided to fuck with him a bit more. “Do you not see I’m injured, Artino? Aren’t you going to ask me how I’m doing?”

Artino stopped pacing and looked up. “So you are. I’m sorry. I hope you have a quick recovery.” He couldn’t hold the look for long and went back to pacing. “Now, what do you want? I have work to do. You know this. You gave me the work.”

Rendal smiled and looked at the ceiling. “I just want to know how the work is going, Artino. I haven’t checked on you in a while, and I know how you love our chats—”

“I do not love these, Rendal. I do not love them at all.”

The smile on Rendal’s face widened. “Anyway, I haven’t been able to make it down there, so I wanted to hear your updates.”

“We’re close.
