Chapter 36

Leon: Weeble. Come in, Weeble.

Dead Air

Leon: Weeble. Come in, Weeble.

Dead Air

Leon: Weeble, you old bastard, come in.

Weeble: Hey. Hey. Sorry, had a spring loose in this thing I found. You’d never believe what this thing can do. I flick it on and it starts…

Leon: I don’t care. There’s some new developments on the lockdown of the Spoon district. Apparently that guy Edward and his buddy got out, but that’s not the half of it. When the acolytes finally got to where he was hiding out it was rigged. They opened the door and the damn hammer dropped. Guys on the ground said fire shot out of that place in every direction.

Weeble: Really? Do they know how he did it?

Leon: No. Didn’t have a chance to check it out. There were explosives on the foundation as well. The whole building went down. This wasn’t a last minute job. This Edward guy must have seen this coming a long way off.

Dead Air

Leon: Anyway, it sounds like the acolytes are up in arms. A whole shit-ton of them started moving east.

Dead Air

Leon: I heard something else interesting when I was listening to those two weapons traders chattering on their walkie-talkies. Looks like Jehovah is moving east too. One of them heard he’s leaving the city for good.

Dead Air

Leon: Weeble? You still there?

Weeble: Oh, yeah. Listen to this. I turned this machine on and it started to pull all the metal in the room towards it, like a big magnet. Not sure if that means its working or not.

Leon: I don’t know why I talk to you.

Dead Air

Weeble: Hmm. Did you get anything else from them?

Leon: No, the line cut off abruptly, but I’m tracking the frequency a lot more often now.

Weeble: Well, sounds like you still have your thumb on the pulse of the world. Keep lookin’ out for all of us. I’ll talk to ya later.

Leon:
Ponce de Leon out.
