"Well c'mon, don't keep it for yourself! Tell me!" His eyes sparkled with excitement, he always loved working with her, it was much more fun than trying to scheme against this younger sister of his. He always ended up getting hurt when it was the latter.
"Do you remember seeing them before today Roman?"
"Hmm, now that you mention it, I don't. I'm not very hands-on with the recruitment process now that Cedrick is in charge of it, however, he does introduce me to any new crew mates he hires the same day."
"Alright, so it looks like we need a distraction" Scarlet pressed her index finger on her chin in thought.
"What do we need a distraction for? Why not just kill them and get it over with? You didn't seem to have a problem with that earlier" Roman slyly remarked at his sister's ruthless actions.
"That's because we already, 1. knew who they were and 2. what their motives were" She pointed out with a stale tone in her voice, but continued on with her explanation.
"I'm not sure if they are here to spy on me or you. However, our little altercation earlier distracted everyone, I'm sure that is when they had taken their chance to sneak onto the ship. If they had snuck on a day before, then they wouldn't have been here to spy on me. But since we don't know their motives or who they work for we can't just kill them unfortunately."
"Okay, that does make sense. . . even if it is in a twisted way. . ." Roman agreed. "And if we interrogate them, I'm sure they won't give up why they came. They won't go down without a fight either. So either way we probably won't find out who sent them without them ending up dead."
Roman was suddenly startled when he felt a sharp slap on his shoulder. Scarlet was giving him a thumbs up with a proud smile on her face, "You can actually think Roman, I'm so proud of you!"
"Shove off Scar!" He slapped her hand away with a bitter look on his face. He sighed, "So what should we do?"
"We need to cause a distraction that will allow them to escape, well . . . make them think that they escaped!" Scarlet had a sneaky-twisted grin on her face while she rubbed her hands together in excitement.
'Scary..' Was the only thought in Romans head as he watched her plot. This is just like old times, he chuckled to himself.
"So after they "escape" what is the next step?" Roman questioned this little lunatic.
"After they think they have escaped, they will be followed by an elite group of powerful elemental masters."
"Who?" Roman looked puzzled, he knew his sister had powerful connections, but just how many??
Scarlet boasted "Ha-ha, lets just say they work for me. I doubt you have heard of them before, they are called the shadows. Their name perfect describes what they do. They lurk in the shadows, gathering intel, and occasionally act as body guards for yours truly! You should consider yourself lucky today Roman. Not only did you get to reunite with your sisters, but you also get to know so many of your sister's secret weapons! I truly am feeling generous today!"
Roman could truly not believe his ears, what was he hearing?? He had so many questions, but he knew he had to save them for later.
"Alright! So what kind of distraction do we need? It has to be atleast big enough and believable."
"We will have a battle with unknown-masked intruders!" Scarlet revealed her great idea.
"What? intruders? We can't just hire randos from the market!" Romans eyes widened as he tried to understand this insane redhead!
"Of course not! We don't have enough time for that! We will just use my crew!" Scarlet gleamed, then she stood up straight and shut her eyes.
"Scar? What are you-
"Shush! I'm trying to concentrate!"
