A.J. paced back and forth in the V.I.P. room of Gippetto's. He couldn't remember a time when he had paced so much. All of the revelations coming at him all at once weighed heavily on his mind. So much so, that he knew it was the right time to make the phone call that he was going to the night he met with Lydia, Corin and Emma.
Wasting no time this time, he pulls the contact up on his contact list and hits the speed dial for her. He let it ring and as the other end answered he said, "It's A.J. I was hoping to find out if you had any information for me on the boys."
"Da." the female archon's voice came over the line. "As a matter of fact I ad just been preparing ta drop you a note... but dis saves me the stamp." she chuckles.
"Rumor mill has dem working in a new group. Real wrecking crew in Oklahoma. Had an operative inform us of their location not a night ago. With the hunt for Anathema Xavier de Calis and the anarchs who wacked Petredon we don't have a man to spare for the task."
She pauses.
"You ready to earn dat badge yer wearing these nights?"
A.J. listens to all of the information that Anna gives to him. He commits it to memory. He wonders what this crew could be doing in Oklahoma and asks, "Yes, I have been ready for all my life. Any idea who put this crew together?"
"I do not know dat I understand the operative's message, it could be because he's in deep cover but supposibly a zombie brought them together. Operative was fairly sure dat gosts were involved too but dat makes little sense with the intel dat I have as there are no known necromancers in either group prior to now. All we can figure is a third party had become involved but we do not know why."
She pauses, "Any information you might have to help us out on dat aspect?"
A.J. pauses for a long moment and thinks about some things. Finally after a long pause, he says, "I have intelligence for you, but I don't think its safe to share over a phone. I think it's best we meet somewhere."
A.J. nods and says, "The new super group has 3 things in common. Myself, Lydia Bates and Corin O'Rothalin. Its made up of those who killed my father, tortured Lydia and worked with Corin before she changed to our side. What is more, a few weeks ago, I was attacked by a zombie in the streets of Lamar, I was with Lydia that night as well. Do you know how many in number this super crew is?"
"Nit. Not in front of me. There were 8 at the gathering but that doesn't mean anything. Zombie attack, eh? Interesting. Thanks for the low down. Anything else you got for me?"
