Damien chuckled. "Of course. I didn't expect you to be doing this for free. This is how you make a living, after all. What are you asking?" he asked.

"Well, how about a thousand?" She asked. "That seems fair."

"I suppose. You won't go any lower than that, say five hundred?" Damien asked. He was expecting a higher price, but wanted to see if she would go lower.

"Umm... no. Considering, I could put it at just about any price right now and it be reasonable considering your in deep s*** right now. If she dies on your soil, the whole world will declare war on you. You're just lucky I'm in no need of cash at the moment, you know, with all these new gangs looking for connections and whatnot. Anyway, stop being coy and settle on a thousand so we can get down to business."

"Alright. So be it. Now where should we leave the money? At the scene where the priestess was kidnapped?" Damien asked.

"No no... I'll probably meet up with you for dinner later with the rest of the information." She told him. "So, this Black Heart... it's this religious cult that was within Helmshire. You inherited it when you took over their nation. Congratulations. Anyway, they are an odd bunch to say the least. You know, trying to be all sacrilegious and stuff. I know about them because they like to buy the oddest crap off Diethelm's black market. Hell, I don't know or want to know what they use half of it for. Anyway, they're all bats*** crazy, and they're sneaky about it too. Probably as soon as word got out, they started planning how to kidnap her. They'll probably violate her before killing her in some barbaric way, which means, you probably better find that verse or message and tell it to me so I can translate it." She replied.

"Translate it? Why? Do they write it in some sort of cryptic language?" Damien asked.

"It might as well be. There are very few who know how to read those here. It's a way of citing passages in religious texts. And by the time someone in your secret police figured that much out, you'd have to get your hands on the specific text they're talking about in order to translate the message. That task alone would take far to long, and the priestess would be dead and gone. Don't forget that you are timed. The sooner you find her the better, am I right?"

"Yes, it would be best if you could help. So does this mean 'David' needs to meet you at a restaurant?" Damien asked.

"If you would like. How about a quick lunch since this is a bit of an emergency." She replied.

"I will still need time to prepare. Kind of hard walking around in public, being the leader of the country and all, so I will need to be well disguised" Damien said.

"I would just drop by your office and save us both the trouble, but I kind of don't want to get captured and killed, if you know what I mean." she replied.

"Sounds good. I'll see you then" Damien said, then hung up. He went down to the secret police make up department and began getting ready, after picking out some clothes. He wasn't wearing a suit, just a black button up shirt with grey stripes that he left untucked and rolled the sleeves up, along with a pair of dark grey jeans. It was his pre-dictator clothing style. He then began getting the make up and fake facial alterations.
