Chapter 8 - Switch

"You dare?!" Deion yelled, but the look on her face made Deion stop. She could tell she was being set up for this, and the Executives had a hand in it.

"Deion... I will be honest. I know you're not your brother; I know he was a truly great man, a rising star. I know you don't want to come back, I know you want to wait for something to happen, but the Executives own everything..."

"This hospital, the buildings, hell, even the water... Look, for her sake. For the sake of the world. For your sake, you need to come back..." She sighed as she sat back down, "In 3 days, you will be headed to Altitude Bay to meet up with your new squad, Charlie Core, a Tier 2 Squad led by Vireya."

Deion's face switched; he had heard that name before, "Vireya? I've heard of her, but I've heard badly." The girl smirked, "Yep, the perfect girl is really... Can't tell you that. Anyway, Yuki here will be transported ahead of time by air to Altitude Bay General Hospital. Today is the last day she will be here."

Deion nodded, "Where am I supposed to catch my transport from? And when?" The girl looked at him before preparing to leave, "The airport... duh. Ten at night. Not a minute late, they won't wait for you. That's take-off time, not arrival time." Deion then nodded, didn't like the gentle condescension she used, but he had one more thing to ask: "Who are you?"

She smiled before walking out, "Saint Solaria." With that, she was gone. Deion tried to run after her, but she was gone as if she had never even come. Deiom then smirked before opening up his phone again and calling someone, "Hey... Zach... Look, I have to unretire, and I want you to come with me." Deion then said, "Alright... Stay retired." Before hanging up the phone and slipping it back into his pocket. Deion then said goodbye to Yukiko before sprinting out, presumably back to his apartment.
