((Sorry for the delay. I had finals this week and last. I'm cool now.))<br/><br/>Samuel chuckled. "I wouldn't know if you were devious or not." He admitted with a smile, feeling perhaps a little better, though he still wondered if they'd ever get to Ace in time. "But with luck we won't have to struggle against any deviousness."<br/><br/>He stood slowly and put his pictures away, heading over towards the bed with the full intention of finally getting some sleep. He was too tired to do anything else now, but he had a feeling his dreams would be wrought with nightmares and uneasiness.<br/><br/>"Thanks for your help, by the way. I couldn't get to the incarnus without your help. I know I'm paying you, but.... I still appreciate it."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Downstairs, a woman's face twisted slightly in frustration as she leaned close to the computer at the front desk. The clerk, sitting behind her, shrugged.<br/><br/>"Well?"<br/><br/>"Well nothing." The woman grunted. "The bug is working, but that man won't give up any information we don't already know. He's having a sentimental chat with his bounty hunter. What an idiot." She got up out of the chair and rubbed her neck. "Keep an ear on this, but I think they're going to sleep now. I've got to think of some way to get the Old Professor on our side. But I can't imagine he'd want to. It's hard to believe he's the son of the Cellmaster. His values seem entirely different."<br/><br/>The woman started walking off, ready to warn her men that a break in to that room would probably be unwise. They were stupid enough to try something like that. She....well she had other means of getting what she wanted. But it would take time, and patience.
