((Alright. Did so.))

(( Cool. cool ))

There was a bit of hesitation on Monica's part when Damien mentioned Jian but in a while, she placed the papers she carried on Damien's desk and said, "Already on it. And there is a secret group inside Diethelm that wants the priestess gone. Black... something something... It's all in the file. And the raid on their headquarters should have ended right about... Now. Hold on for a second", Monica said and listened to the voice on her earpiece before turning back to Damien. "The place was empty but they've found clues that the priestess was taken there. She must have been moved elsewhere"

((OOC: ))

"I see. A group that hates the Grand Priestess and Mt. Angelo. If I knew about them before, I probably would have used them to my advantage. But in this situation it seems we have no choice but to annihilate them. It's too bad, but they just had bad timing" Damien said to Monica. He then dismissed her so that she could carry out her duties while he read over the files.

((*waiting patiently*))

Shadow woke up early that morning and took a shower. She was starting to get used to Helmshire being gone. As much as she hated it, she was thankful for her Diethlem blood. It got her out of a lot of potentially bad situations that she saw many others facing. Her wet hair dripped on her shoulders as she dried herself off with a towel.

Underground group, huh? Damien thought to himself, then pulled out his desk drawer with 'David''s cell phone, even though Shadow knew now that it was him. He began deciding whether or not to call her. He knew she was alive since she pulled him from the wreckage of the main HQ. He flipped the phone open and just stared at it for a moment, not sure what to do.

He dismissed anyone else that was in his office while he pondered.  

[lil_lollypop1]

((You know you want to Damien! xd ))

As Damien had ordered, everyone in the office left the room.

Shadow began to dry her head and shoulders and got dressed. She turned on the TV to the news while walking into her kitchen to cook breakfast.  

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

Damien sighed and finally dialed Shadow's number. He held the phone to his head while he heard the dial tone in his ear.  

[lil_lollypop1]

Shadow heard her phone going off in the other room, just as she pulled out a carton of eggs. She let out a sigh, putting the eggs on the counter as she rushed to the other room and picked up her phone. "Hello?" She asked without looking to see who it was.  

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

"It's 'David'" Damien said, in case anyone was in earshot of Shadow on the phone. He didn't know where she was at the moment.  

[lil_lollypop1]

"Oh. Hi Damien." She said, turning off the TV. "Well, this certainly was unexpected. Don't worry. I'm by myself. What's up?"  

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

"Would you, by any chance, have any information on an organization known as the 'Black Heart'?" Damien asked.  

[lil_lollypop1]

"Yeah. Who do you think was the person who left the tip that they were after Miss Holy-pants? Yeah, everyone underground knows she's in Diethelm. It's really no secret. Why do you ask? Did some suicidal maniac charge the base with a chicken leg or something?" She asked.  

[Eternal_PrinceOfFire]

"It seems they were able to kidnap the Grand Priestess, according to reports I've been given. I'm not sure how they were able to get a hold of military weaponry, but somehow they were able to destroy her ship. What other information do you have?" Damien asked.  

[lil_lollypop1]

"Kidnapping. Well, that is quite a situation, but it doesn't really surprise me. I tell you everything I know about them, but... if you want me to give you a good guess of where she might be, I'll need two things. First, there will be a kidnapping letter somewhere at the scene. It will have a holy book verse on it, or something like that. That's very important. The second thing is payment. So..." She trailed off.
