Ich schrei in die nacht fur dich, lass de-umm right, Chapter FIve, Gabbie!

Okay, I thought to myself. How am I going to do this?
“William?” I called out. I was staying at Headquarters for the time being. I was sitting in a chair behind a desk in one of the spare rooms.
“Yes?” He appeared in the doorway. He was so fast. It always amazed me, even after two years.
“I need help.” I didn’t want to do this, but it was either ask for help or die. I defiantly didn’t want to do the latter.
He walked into the room and sat on the edge of the desk in front of me. “What do you need help with, sweetie?”
Okay, hold up. Did he just call me sweetie? He did not just call me sweetie.
I took a deep breath. (Yes, I’m dead, but I can still breathe. I just don’t need to.) “How am I supposed to capture them both?!?!” I was whining but I didn’t care. “Can’t you take it back? Please?”
“I can’t do that. You need this. We need this. Besides, I gave you this mission at a Gathering. Even if I wanted to I couldn’t.” He sat for a moment, thinking. Then he looked back up at me. “You can have Audrey.”
Audrey was another member of The Cult. She was kind of an outcast, because she’d turned William down.
“What?” I asked, confused. “What do you mean, ‘have her’?”
“I mean I’ll order her to do whatever you want. You can use her to help with whatever you need.”
Audrey wasn’t a good seeker or tracker, but she was capable of guarding. She wouldn’t let her charge get away once he was captured. A plan was already forming in my mind.
