Chapter 22 - What Are Your Names?

"Do you understand what we need to do Roman?" Scarlet asked in a very serious and condescending tone.

"Of course! I'm not a child Scar" Roman rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Hmm" Scarlet made a soft grunt in uncertainty at Roman's statement but didn't say anything else, they needed to get on with the plan and not argue.

"Alright then, follow my lead little bro!"

As the two spies were mopping the deck, discussing their strategy about gathering intel on the red-headed devil for their boss, they noticed something bright red flying towards the ship. It was a bright red bird, they had never seen anything like it before! It circled the ship a few times before nose diving behind the vessel where they couldn't see it and a few moments later it shot up with great speed, high into the sky! It flew so high, that the sun caused it to disappear.

"That was weird right?" The blonde asked his dark haired friend.

"I guess it could be weird, but there are always tons of birds that nosedive to grab a fish. It's not that weird." He answered as he concentrated on devising a winning plan and gripping his mop. "What do you think they are talking about?" The man with dark hair asked his companion.

"I don't know, the bat isn't working". He responded back to his friend in a monotone voice. He was shorter than his friend, blonde and very muscular.

"I don't know why you depend on that weak magical technique!" The dark haired man hissed at his partner.

"It's not weak! Those two are just scary strong!" He pouted, when their master told them to spy on this girl, he assumed she would just be a weak magic user. But after he saw what she did this morning, he was questioning what he got himself into. Why did his master have to be interested in a psycho-devil woman?!

"And of course you didn't have a back up plan?!" He growled in annoyance at the blonde partner.

"Hey! I don't see you contributing anything to this mission!" the blonde shot back.

"If you are going to create a magical listening device it-" he stopped in the middle of what he was saying. He noticed that the door from the Captains quarters swung open and his mouth snapped shut.

Scarlet walked up to the two men, they were about to scatter when they saw her approaching but she stopped them.

"How can we help you Captain Scarlet and Captain Roman?"

"Tell me your name's" Scarlet demanded with her arms crossed against her chest. Despite them being much taller than her, she didn't feel the slightest bit intimidated.
