Sing Your Way Out

Chapter 24: Vipers and Politics

The mahogany table gleamed in the sunlight. The little sunlight that happened to get into this excuse for a room. I sat at a table with vipers. I had no idea how to go about this. I sat as quiet as possible. The vipers were not happy. I hadn't paid enough attention, and now I was in trouble with them. I turned and looked out of the window, the grounds were a mess. Bodies strewn everywhere. A pang of sadness hit me. I tried to keep the feeling away. Monitors were out there dragging the living into the building, to be chained and kept somewhere. The battle was over, at least for now. They had gotten away. The resistance was still out there, they were alive. They had time to regroup, and grow in numbers again. They were great fighters, but they had not had enough people. I had tried to distance myself from this as much as I could. I was not working out too well. Even I was covered in some gore. I had gotten out of it, and made my way up to this conference hall, where I later meet up with these vipers. They were angry, as most vipers tend to be. It was time to play the part of the snake tamer and give the resistance time to regroup, reorganize. I turned back to the table, and to the vipers.

"Well?" Hissed the first viper.

"We need answers." Hissed the second.

"How could you have let this happen?" Hissed the King Cobra.

I frowned. Corporate idiots. Did they not know what was going on here?

"Headmaster, we are talking to you." Hissed the second viper.

I blinked. How to calm them...

"I have done the best that I can. I can't do too much more without the proper... support. I need to know that i will not be questioned. I know how to fix this, I have told you this all before. I need time."

"You told us Archer was to be mended." Hissed the King Cobra.

"He was." I lied.

"Then how did this all happen?" The first viper hissed back.

"I have no idea, but Archer was not a part of it." I said simply.

"Then bring Archer to us." Hissed the second viper with a smile.

"I have no idea where any of my students are at the current moment, do you not see the grounds? Its a mess out there. Deep into the forest there are bodies. In abandoned rooms in the school there are people. I can't account for every body just yet. We haven't had enough time to get everything together." I said, my temper beginning to flair.

"Then tell us why the tracker on Archer shows him somewhere in Spain at the current moment?" Hissed the King Cobra with a vile smile as he threw a small GPS device on the desk, with a small orange dot pulsating slowly in the southern region in Spain.

"You put tracking devices on my students?!" I said angrily, trying desperately to keep my temper in check. I couldn't lose everything i have work for right now. I needed to keep my cool.

"You keep secrets from us, we get to keep some from you." Hissed the first viper.

"What have i kept from you?" I yelled angrily at them.

"Chemica Desin 2.0" Spat the King Cobra.

"What..." I gasped, taken aback.

"We know about it, we know its the end to everything, so stop trying to be so politically correct, and lets cut to the chase. What is it that you haven't said, about all of this big mess." The King Cobra said, a dangerous gleam in his eye.

"Im going to have to ask you to leave." I said, pushing my temper down.

"What? You can't kick us out right now!" Hissed the first viper.

"Rooms have been provided for all of you, now please. Monitors!" I said as calmly as possible. I just sat at the table in pained silence as the vipers sild past me with looks of hatred and out the door. I looked at the GPS device, Archer was far, and he was with his group, and my daughter. I hoped they could keep going. To stay safe. I had my own issues here. I had to find a way to help to the resistance. Something else rung in my head.

How had they known about Chemica Desin 2.0?
