Sultry: Another country heard from; 12
"Who are all these people?" Sultry asked.
Cassie said, "These are a few of the children of the Heroes."
Jack was right ... it is a conspiracy. Sultry thought, then said, "What's up?"
"Eva has been kidnapped," Cassie said.
"What are they doing here?"
Cassie explained, "Eva was kidnapped from here."
"What was she doing here?"
"Nobody knows ... at least..." she turned to the crowd, "Hey! Anybody know WHY Eva was here?"
Assorted messages of denial.
Sultry held up a hand and closed into a fist.
Well, one would think that the entire bunch of Cassandrian's sang in the same choir because they shut up instantly and all eyes were on the director; Sultry.
She said, "If nobody knows ... why are you here?"
She pointed to the biggest Heroes son and looked.
"I don't know why ... As for me ... I got a holo call and came instantly."
That produced a few dozen nods and agreements. They all were summoned ... in one manner or another.
"Who called?"
"I don't know."
"How about the rest of you? Who called?"
More denial.
"Looks like there's more to this than meets the eye.
"Traditionally, Cassie, is there anyway to talk to Crossroads without going there?"
"No," Cassie said. "There's nothing in any of the operations handbooks ... and if there's one thing I know ... it's the handbooks. The last ten years have been extremely boring."
