Rena threatened me, "You're really cornering me. I could tie you up and drag you along as I please."
She revealed a long, translucent wire on her wrist. The multipurpose wire glinted softly under the moonlight. The motion of the wire, reminiscent of a snake, made me take a few steps back. The snake tattoo that had killed the Necron supervisor a few days ago flashed through my mind, making me tense.

I nodded lightly. "Tell me."
"They said I must bring you to them."

"Yes. They specifically mentioned you. Will you come with me?"
