Ven and Ben arrived around 2pm to the Hall of Imperial Justice Headquarters where many police and other agencies tended to be at. Ven knew weapons were not permitted so he allowed his and Ben's weapons to be confiscated at the front entrance as they doubled checked on them. As they moved to the front desk after an half hour of scanning and other shit Ben was a bit peeved.
"They touched me Ven... those bastards they touched me..!", Ben muttered with almost whisper.
"Shut up just let me do the talking..", Ven soon replied.
"Why are we here Ven? Seriously I thought its impossible to look at the archive, not like they let a couple of young adults just walk in and us ask 'Hey can we look at your criminal archive please?'", Ben soon said.
As they arrived at the front desk the woman who was dressed in a uniform but Ben was too concentrated on her cleavage to even care.
"May I help you?", the receptionist soon asked.
"I am Marquis Ven Avenor this is my cousin Earl Ben Avenor I am here to see Director Claude Veracruz. Just say my name he will know it is me.", Ven soon asked for the man in charge of the entire Swords of the Emperor.
Ben was not paying attention as he continue to look down though the woman ignored him.
"Let me see Director Veracruz..." she said as he made a call which soon came a reply all she needed.
"Oh your in luck he will see you and his schedule is free at the moment he will be on level 1579 near the top of the building.", the receptionist soon replied.
"Thank you... ehh Ben come on.", Ven soon stated as he dragged his cousin by the ear.
Elevator
"So how do you even know the fucking Director of the Swords of the Emperor Ven. Gen I can expect him to know everyone but you of all people HOW?!!", Ben soon asked as they were alone in the elevator.
Ven smiled then replies, "Simple... our grandmother at one point and time used to be called Annaroze if you remember when she was young. She was a mercenary but also she was formerly a Sword of the Emperor to be precise she could of easily be in his position now due to how skilled she was at her job. Director Claude Veracruz, was formerly the Captain of her Unit 187 and truly only man still alive from that Unit 50 years ago. He is old now and I believe plans to retire in a year. I meet him a few times with Gen when he visited our grandmother a few times."
"I see...", Ben soon replied at the response which was good enough.
Director Claude Veracruz's Office
"My my boy you have certainly grown since I last seen you!! I am sorry about your brother many of us had great respect for that man he was the second coming of Duke Oswald of Aurlia. Anyways please sit you caught me at a good time now what it is you need my boy? This sure isn't a personal visit.", Director Claude soon asked.
Ven smiled at the older man as white hair and missing some of his hair. He known him quite well only one of the few he knew on this planet.
"Well Director Claude you see I need a favor asked or better yet maybe you know yourself?", Ven soon said.
"Well that depends I been in this kind of business for sixty five years and retiring soon what is it you need.", Director Claude soon stated.
Ven took out a data pad and slide it over with Ven saying, "Well you see a good friend of mine was found dead today Viscountess Karlinsa Barbosa. Her wounds are something I never seen or heard of before. Thing is... the only connections I have is to some cult that worshiped death under the gaze of the Dark Star. Another problem is... its a dead art form and nothing from my data base shows anything except a few texts."
The Director look at it closely and he looked more pale then before like he seen a ghost.
"Impossible... this is truly impossible..", Director Claude soon said.
"Uhh what it is Director?", Ven asked intrigued.
"Ven... if you know better I suggest you get a few more body guards no request Aurlia to send its best knights to you at this moment.", the Director soon said.
"Say what?", Ven soon asked.
"This is no longer a matter of who killed your friend. It is now a matter of life and death to not only you but anyone your connected to. This is nothing normal no it is more of a nightmare in living flesh indeed. Ven a long time ago fifty years ago something happened it involved our unit including your mother. It was dangerous as it as well involved the emperor and one of the princes of our time. Just to keep you safe please do not look deeper into the matter of this I can only tell you that if you do. You will never be the same it will break you like it broke your grandmother. Go home and never leave that mansion do not worry we will handle it. Now go my boy you still have plenty of life left in you let us older people handle this.", Director Claude soon finished.
"Alright anyways it was nice to see you Director.", Ven soon said.
The Director smiled then replies, "As it was, as it was."
Ven and Ben soon left leaving the man alone he soon picked up his communicator then says in it,"Get me connected to Aurlia now I need to speak with Duchess Maria Avenor it is a priority message. Thank you."
The Director looked out his window into the city of Echelon with him soon saying, "If he escaped the Tower of Basalt... no impossible no one can escape there. But if true not only we and those connected are in danger but even the Imperial Line as well."
With Ven and Ben
As they left to the outside of the Hall of Imperial Justice Ben soon says, "Damn that was a waste."
"Not really... whoever it is doing this the Director knows who it is. If he went paled and it involved my grandmother... why does the story sound familiar... damn it why can't I remember?!!", Ven soon said as he was missing something in his mind but couldn't point to why.
"Well whatever it is I got a feeling we are going to need a lot of fire power. Ven I am heading to check up on my Power Armor and see if I can get those upgrades done tonight. Just keep tabs on each other and activate our homing beacons if we are in trouble.", Ben soon said as he left.
"Right... and I need to make a call to Doctor Luka and Doctor Elizabeth to try to get the Mark II done quickly as possible.", Ven replied as he picked up his communicator.
"They touched me Ven... those bastards they touched me..!", Ben muttered with almost whisper.
"Shut up just let me do the talking..", Ven soon replied.
