After it all (Agent 8 x 3)

12. Investigation Time

POV: Remi

-------------------------------------

After the laughter died down, we got back to work. The only problem was we had no suspects, no leads, not even a single hint to who could have possibly stolen the zapfish and taken the idols. We sit there in dumbfounded silence until Milos speaks up. "Wait... Didn't cuttlefish say that the attackers went into grizco after raiding the canyon?" Ashe nods, and then Milos continues. "Seemingly random weapons, orange ink... What if they're working for Grizzco? His shop has been closed for weeks and there's been no sign of him." Iris pulls out her phone. "Well he temporarily closed shop due to decreasing salmonid populations.  For all we know, they could be disguised as Grizzco workers. Cap'n also said that at least 2 of the attackers looked like they had pale skin and dark eyes. That can lead back to tartar since they sound like sanitized octolings". 

"Ok so those are both good ideas..." I scratch my head in thought for a second, and then continue. "What if me and Iris search the metro and Ashe and Milos search Grizzco? We might find more information on what happened". Milos and Ashe nod, but Iris seems a bit unsure. "Hey Remi, can I talk to you alone for a sec?" I nod and walk with Iris to the manhole. "So, what's up?" 

"Remi, are you sure that you wanna go to the metro? I mean, you just were sanitized and if Tartar is somehow still alive, I don't want him to..." She zones out while shaking a bit. I pull her in close and softly whisper, "Hey, It's gonna be ok. We're gonna be fine and we will get out in one piece with no telephone goo". She laughs a bit and then we rejoin the rest of the group.

"Ok team, let's go. Ashe, take the radio and keep it on so me and Iris can communicate with you. And STAY TOGETHER. Whatever you do, don't separate from each other. Alright?" Everyone nods, and we go our separate ways. Hopefully no one dies this time.

POV: Ashe

---------------------------------

Me and new kid are currently standing in front of Grizzco, trying to get in. But no matter what we try, we can't get past the gate. And I'm too short to climb it. CURSE MY SHORT HEIGHT. ONLY GOOD FOR HUGS. While I'm trying to Find a way in, Milos is doing something with the charger. "What'cha doin?" They don't even acknowledge me, and just keep working. I shrug and get back to attempting to climb, when suddenly a piece of metal with a wire attached zips by me. I turn to see Milos with a... "Grappling hook". They say in satisfaction. "Hop on!" With a grin, I walk over and hold them from behind. "Ok", I say, "on 3. 1...2...." "THREE" "AAAAAAAA"

I think this kid is trying to kill me. 

POV: Iris

-------------------------------------

Me and Remi slowly walk around the metro, weapons at the ready. Things sure have changed since I've last been here. It looks like a train wreck. Literally. One of the subways is out of operation because of a crash that occurred. We are looking around, and it's so quiet you can hear the soft droplets on the ceiling fall down. Eventually, we get tired and sit down. I turn to him. "You okay?" He chuckles a bit. "Shouldn't I be asking you that? I mean, you're the one who actually did the stations. You probably have more issues here than I do". I shrug and stand back up. "Well, let's get a move on". He also stands up, and we start walking over to the operating train. But before we can get on, a bunch of sanitized octolings pop up behind us, along with a chuckling tall figure behind them. 

"Hello Iris. Hello Remi".

Shit

They got Marina.
