Ties (6)

Virge and Cecilia are doing last minute checks on a large machine in the Phaser building. Cecilia is on the top of the machine checking the circuits.
“Why did Lieutenant Thames offer you money for your help?” Cecilia asks her boss. “Does he not know you own this building and five others in Century alone?”
“Bison and I have grown a part in the last few years. He doesn’t know a lot about me anymore,” Virge explains. Virge is walking from one side of the machine to the other, inspecting its exterior. “Everything is fine from here, how’s it looking up there?”
Cecilia closes a lid on the top of the machine and jumps down. “It’s ready to go.” They walk over to a computer in the corner of the room. Virge types in a command as the walls on the opposite side of the room opens. The machine begins to heat up as rockets on its rear blasts it out of the building and into the atmosphere. As it leaves shoots out of the building the wall closes again.
“I think it wouldn’t hurt seeing their operation, I mean… it could umm, help with out project…” Cecilia suggests. Virge looks at his assistant and smirks.
“I don’t have to read your mind to know what you’re up to. If you want to see Bison again we can arrange it. Set up the car, we’ll leave soon.”
Cecilia blushes as she leaves the room to prepare to visit her new crush.
