LATO

“How do you even know that? I thought the snitches were really secretive about who they are?” asked Thad.

“They are,” said Darson. “But I’ve learned a little mind reading in my illicit studies. I have to be really careful, but I can pull it off if Luca is really tired and deep into sleep,” he grinned. “Let’s go into my room, we can talk there.”

They walked down the hall and into the first room on the right. It was spacious and bright; the curtains were open and one window faced out over the garden.

“Nice,” said Thad, looking around. Everything was done in deep purples and blues and there was a long desk on one wall, supporting a large, flat screen computer. Thad’s eyes widened on seeing it.

“Yeah, you’d wonder, wouldn’t you?” said Darson. “The ‘Powers That Be’ take their top science dudes to your world to keep technology going here. We have an internet as such, although probably nowhere near the size of yours, but we don’t do badly. Of course it’s all monitored, so couldn’t even think of talking magic or anything on it.”

“I see. Where does your connection come from?”

“Fibre optics, all through the Tunnels. Personally, I think it was all put in with magic, seeing as the top dogs get to use it.”

“Yeah, makes sense.”

Darson flopped out on his bed, while Thad sat on the desk chair.

“So how did you find out about this meeting tonight?”

“It’s not easy. I’ve been able to pinpoint a few of the magical officials around here. They are less cautious about who they are, because people fear them and would do anything to avoid being brought up on charges of magic usage, so normally, they are given a very wide berth. By doing very minor masking magic, I can follow them and they would only catch me if they looked really hard in my direction and tried to pick up magic energy at the same time. Something they’d never bother with because they just don’t expect the common folk to be able to mask. So I can follow them around, particularly if there are two or more at a time, and listen to their conversation. Sooner or later I find out something juicy or it comes out that some meeting is going to occur. I found out about this one about a week ago.

The thing I found so exciting is that one of the top gurus was supposed to show. Those are the characters I’m trying to identify..the top three.” Darson’s voice trailed off at the end, his disappointment obvious.

“Do you have a sense of how often these meetings take place?”

“Yeah, I think. Talk seems to pick up every couple of weeks, so then I pick up my following and listening and sooner or later, I find out where to be and when. Actually, the odd time the meetings seem to be weekly.”

“Ok, then we need to get prowling around tomorrow and see what we can pick up. The sooner I can figure how to get out of here, the better.
