Re: Litchfield, South Carolina
Nikola half shrugged.
"I'm sure you were, but that second gun he had was specifically designed to take down someone with your abilities. I've seen the blueprints for it, I liberated them off one of the jackasses before searching for you. They've been trying to locate you themselves for a while now, so I've been following them, spoiling their plans when and where I can. Now, as for how I know her, it's more like she ... disturbed me. Just appeared while I was in Tibet, not entirely certain how she found me or how she knew who and what I was without ever meeting me, but she was spot on. Essentially, she strong armed me into this. Promised I'd get something worth the trouble in information on the Cabal out of the whole deal, something to help me if I helped you out, though now I'm beginning to think she lied to me since I've found jack squat of anything that would help me, or anyone else for that matter. As for where she is, I have no idea, she left me no way of contacting her after she rather spectacularly departed. She left the hiding door open when she did too. Still, she was clear about one thing, she wanted you away from these Cabal, and if possible, she wanted you to hook up with people from the Sanctuary. Said something about you'd need their help if you wanted to remain free and not be experimented on. Now, I'm certainly willing to help you and your friend, who by the way is only just barely alive, to get there, but I won't be staying with you. I'm not exactly welcome there, and no, I don't want to talk about that. Oh, and you may want to change before we get there missy, some of the residents at those Sanctuaries would just love how revealing that little two piece is."
Checking on the Ogre, she could tell that he was in fact still alive, though just barely. She didn't know much about his kind, but the fact that his breathing seemed much more labored than it had before, him not moving and the blood starting to ooze more slowly from his wounds indicated he might not live much longer without immediate help.
((Not sure offhand how far Charleston, SC is from there, so didn't mention a time yet. Will have you tell me that or look it up later on.))
