"Hm, I don't know what he'll think of it," Rock said with a thoughtful look as he finished covering his bike. "There. That's not too conspicuous, is it?"
"Fought. Dropped a building on him. It was already trashed so.... but it was what he was doing before I got to him that-" Rock sighed and started over, leaning against a table as he did so. "My double heard that Forte killed Shadow, got ahold of one of the teleporters - he doesn't have it now, but I don't know where it is - and tried to take Forte on. It didn't turn out well."
Blues trailed off into a string of irritated expletives. Of all the things to try.
"And I'm guessing your 'twin' went after Forte because of what happened to Shadow, am I right? Speaking of, does anybody know where the carcass is -- and what happened to Forte after you dropped the building on him?"
Scrubbing at his face, Blues sighed.
"I think it might be time to trade Wilybots for intel again."
Rockman was not surprised by Blues' reaction, but nevertheless winced. He couldn't help but fault himself slightly for how things were going.
"He's.... very fond of the ninja apparently. As for Shadow- there's no way he's actually dead, as I fought him, along with a mess of drones, while trying to get to Forte. And this is after the his supposed death. And Forte's wherever he goes after he runs off most likely. Sorry I couldn't keep better tabs on him; I was more worried about just getting him out of the city." That and he still wasn't sure what to do with Forte if he caught him.
"I'm thinking the same. Only most of my questions are for Shadow - who I doubt is going to show - or about him. I also think Forte knows something. Unless he's messing with me, that is. Hard to tell with him."
"Oh, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Forte knows plenty -- he's dropped enough hints along those lines. Like speculating if I was feeling 'guilty'."
"That Shadow isn't actually dead also doesn't surprise me much. Damn ninja."
"I think you handled the thing just fine. Perfect!"
The tapping from Roll just added an extra layer of sweet, sweet evilness to the whole thing as far as he was concerned.

"And it's less a 'why not' as wondering what he'll think about it when he'd informed, if he was going to be informed."

"Looks good. If you pet a few random things on it, or scattered a bit of dust on the tarp, it might blend in even more."

As he said the comment Blues cast about for suitable bits and objects.

"Ran into Forte again." Well, he couldn't avoid the subject forever.

"So. When would we make a call?"

"Would you rather it was just the two of us, or should I prod Zero first when we go?"
