Still, it got me thinking about how hush-hush the council had been recently.
Me: Something going on that I should know about?
It was a risky move, as the Prez didn’t owe me jack.
Rex: No? You talking about anything in particular?
Me: Dunno. Just making sure everything’s copacetic.
Rex: You’re a fucking worrier.
Me: Storm’s high, and Nyx, Link, Steel, and Sin just headed off to play hunt the monster under the bed…
Me: Just saying, that’s a big chunk of the council on the road or compromised.
Rex: Is it your job to worry about this?
Me: No.
Rex: So, don’t.
Rex: If you need something to worry about, I can always dump extra work on your shoulders…
Me: Whatever you need.
Rex: You always fucking surprise me, Digger.
Me: What can I say? It’s a talent.
Rex: Where are you?
Me: Guarding the gates.
Rex: Ahhh. So you’re bored shitless, lol. No need to question where this is coming from. I wondered who Sin dumped that job on.
Me: Dumbfuck me.
Rex: Wouldn’t say you were a dumbfuck. Too trusting… sure.
Me: ME? ROFL.
Rex: Hehe. Yeah, you.
Rex: Fuck off, anyway. I’m busy.
Rex: All is right with the world and you don’t have to worry your pretty little head about nothing.
Me: You say the sweetest shit.
Rex: Don’t I fucking know it. And it’s wasted on you motherfuckers.
Me: :P
It was second nature for me to dig—it was how I’d earned my road name. But Rex’s assurance did offset some of my curiosity.
By not saying anything, he’d pretty much confirmed what I thought. Nyxwason a pedo hunt, and I wasn’t sorry about not being invited.
Even if the bastards deserved to be tortured, that wasn’t how I got my kicks.
