The hologram changed over to security footage of the very room they were currently sitting in. Rowan, two women and three men, one with a scrambled face. Peculiar. Was the technology for that widely available? The paparazzi would be gagging if Aiden was able to employ its use. They were getting worse ever since that impromptu song battle at Jaxen’s club. On the flip side of things, Aiden’s fan base had seen a resurgence. Many were calling for a reunion of Blarney Stoned, and those that weren’t often asked for more webcomics or inquired about the novel. It was a good feeling.
“Damn. She does look like an evil queen,” Aiden said as he pointed out the raven-haired woman, “Nothing on her, babe?”
Sage went through the list and named off every individual in attendance besides the two mystery guests. It sounded like a questionable group. One woman had no paper trail… Atharim or someone that had a past they wished to escape? And a man that was ‘currently’ so-and-so? Sounded like grifters. Definitely strays Rowan had scooped up.
“Babe, it’s fine. I respect that. Ethical hackers are rare… I assume… One more reason to adore you,” Aiden said with a playful smirk, “If that dude ain’t our lead, then I really don’t give a shit who he is. So long as he didn’t harm my sister. Forget the grifter… Rowan is there?”
The hologram was showing a small building, it almost looked like a tool shed it was so small. What could it possibly hold? There had to be more to it.
“She’s the one in the closet now…” Aiden said with a chuckle, “That place is tiny. What? Is there an underground bunker built beneath it? I’m assuming you’ve got coordinates, babe? Let’s not waste time, if you do. Gareth, you coming?”
The butler looked up from the table he was cleaning and shook his head.
“No, Master Aiden. It wouldn’t be proper… Although… I would not object to an update from you if you are successful in your endeavor.”
Aiden handed his Wallet over to Gareth, “Put your number in and you’ll be the first to hear about it.”
