The three people used the boiling noon to the best of their advantage. There were fewer people out on the streets. They all quickly exit the animal reserve and came to the city. Tony used a small computer, and he located a cheap hotel.
Carole was asked to play the lure in their Honey trap. The hotel was like the motels one would see in the western hemisphere of the world. She entered from the back door of the main office. The manager of the place was immersed in a drama series on TV. She covered his eyes from behind using her palms and just as the guy was about to struggle she spoke in a silky voice, "Guess who is it, baby?"
The last syllable was stretched a bit. The middle-aged manager was almost in the loop. He was about to turn around when Carole said, "I will vanish if you let other people see me."
The man asked, "There are no other people here."
Carole whispered, "But your camera has other people watching, though. They will take me away from you." well she is a vampire, her charm is enough to make people believe in the crap she was spewing out of her pretty mouth. Also, she was deliberately using vampiric skills.
The man immediately covered the mini camera on his shoulder and pressed a button. The camera turned off. He said excitedly, "Now can I see you?" great expectation could be heard in his voice.
Carole sighed and accepted her fate. She said, "Yes, you can." She distanced herself from the man as he turned the chair around. The man was average in looks but had a big belly. He almost could not control his drool as he gazed at Carole.
He said, "The god finally answered my thoughts. I can finally have a beautiful lady for myself." he raised his hand and was about to touch Carole when the lady frowned and said, "You have not yet qualified the test of the gods."
The man froze in his action. Carole continued, "Do you think God will reward you without a test? Foolish Mortal. Know your limits." her tone was harsh, and her eyes suddenly glowed red.
As soon as the man looked into those blood-red eyes, he froze. Carole held her forehead and said, "The manager is under control. Come in."
Tony and Yang Dao entered inside the office one after the other. They were not worried about surveillance. Tony has already frozen the frame at the normal scene. Nobody comes to this place usually. So nothing wrong will be found. Yang Dao said, "Ask him for a set of rooms, also, we will need a computer. Tony's mini-computer cannot perform complex hacks."
Carole nodded, and she said to the man, "The rules of the test are, you cannot tell anyone about the god's messengers. We will vanish otherwise, and you will suffer the wrath." her silky voice entranced the man. He had completely lost his sense of reality. In his mind, Carole was actually a fairy the god has sent for him.
Carole asked him a set of the cleanest room here. The man hurriedly skimmed through the clatter of keys inside the drawer. This motel had 20 rooms. He found the cleanest for her. It was more like a duplex house. The team nodded. It was better for them to stay together.
Next, the man was given some cash the team carried on them to go to the market and buy them a good laptop. It would take him an hour to run the errand. In the meantime, Yang Dao and the others squinted eyes.
Tony suggested as they send the man away. "We may be tracked in the night. How do we deal with that?"
Yang Dao said, "We are not going out until we look at the videos. We need to know, what the game is to beat the other side. Rest now. We work when the manager comes back."
The two nodded. They agreed with it. Even though they had limited time in their hands but if they tried to rush things they will fail, eventually. They had two tasks at this moment. One was to investigate the missing agents while also safeguarding themselves.
Suddenly a satellite phone in Yang Dao's gear rang. The boy picked it up.
He only said, "Acquired base of operation, an asset. No alarms raised." his voice was firm and calm. The call disconnected.
He turned around and saw Carole looking at him with some hesitation. Tony has already gone inside the washroom to take a shower. He asked, "What is it?"
Carole asked, "Do you know what am I?" her question was a little awkward.
Yang Dao gave her a confused glance. The girl sighed and said, "Just like how you are an Elementalist, I am a vampire." her lips, however, were fixed.
She was speaking directly inside Yang Dao's mind. The boy was surprised, but then he calmed down. After all, a month ago, he did not even know about Elementalists. He asked, "Then do you drink blood like how they say in the books?
Carole was surprised for a second and then laughed. her bell-like laughter rang out in the room. She said, "No, I don't need to drink blood. At least not more than once a month. Also, it is not human blood, we prefer animals nowadays."
Yang Dao nodded. Carole continued, "I do not have any physically strong straight. Just as strong as a normal human, but my brain, however, is a different story altogether. I am not smart, but I can use telekinesis, telepathy, and also the vampire bloodline skill charm. The last time when we met I could not help but find you interesting and thus I used the skill on you. But somehow you broke out of it. You are the first man to do that."
Yang Dao did not comment. He was focused on how to use Carole more efficiently. Carole did not speak as well. Tony walked out of the bathroom and said, "Why the awkward silence?"
Yang Dao replied, "I have an idea."
