Coming of Age (Part 20)

"I want everyone involved in this ordeal in front of me now." Frankenstein waited as the three enhanced humans formed a line before him. "You have gone behind my back. What do you have to say for yourselves?"

"It was my idea." Tao spoke first but was quickly interrupted by the other two.

"I went along with it."

"Yeah, it's my fault, too." M-21 agreed with Takeo.

Seira joined the line followed by Regis.

"Seira, you too?" Frankenstein sighed. "Regis, go sit down. I know you were unaware of anything from the start."

"They threw this party for me. Clearly I am also responsible."

"And you were also involved, weren't you?" M-21 met Frankenstein's gaze. "You handed out the party favors we made. You added to them, didn't you?"

"Oho!" Tao swung around to see M-21. "Is that where Karias' flash light came from? I didn't pack that."

Rai finished his tea and set the cup on the saucer. He rose from his chair.

"M-Master!"

"I gave my permission."

"Everyone dismissed." Frankenstein sighed again. If even Master was involved then there was nothing he could do. "We will leave in the morning. You three have the mess cleaned up by then. Miss Seira, will you be accompanying us?"

"I will."

"What, Seira? You're coming?" Regis shouted and quickly lowered his voice to a more refined level. "But you're not my guardian anymore."

"Regis, are you forgetting Seira is a clan leader?" Frankenstein asked, but he didn't wait for the answer. "She is allowed to travel as she desires unless the lord summons her."

Three more years? Gejutel smiled at the thought. That is all Regis would be able to stay. He ages so slowly. The humans would simply out grow him, and he couldn't stay with them much longer before they would realize he would remain a child. Then he would return to learn how the be a clan leader.

Gejutel K. Landegre,

The enhanced humans have given have given Regis a cell phone. I have sent you his phone number. I have also sent you the reply to the lord's letter. I expect you to explain it to her. The first box is for you, and the second box is for the lord. Someone as prestigious as yourself should find it simple to comprehend.

Sincerely,

Frankenstein

Gejutel opened his box. Microwave ovens use non-ionizing microwave radiation…

Frankenstein,

Have you still not tired of your games?

Sincerely,

Gejutel K. Landegre
