The Hunter sat down again on a stone. The trace was gone. Utterly gone. He couldn't find it in this damn desert anywhere. Their was nothing but tiny grains of stale stone that filled his nostrils. There was nothing else. Absolutely nothing. Not mention it was dark and despite his enhanced night vision the Hunter couldn't see any life form other than the bored Repeater who stood off a ways away getting privacy from an apparent call from Dominion.
The Seer was staring hard to and getting utterly frustrated. She was still pissed off at the incident. But at least at night the colors weren't so bright and gauntly. Instead though there was a trade off. They were cool colors now just mixing together and it was harder to see with the lack of sunlight. The moon wasn't much help either.
The Repeated scoffed at Dominion, "Your serious? The President let her own brat get away from her? That picky woman who can't stop monitoring anything? Wow", the Repeater was annoyed. He knew was coming and he wouldn't like it.
"You are assigned now to get that brat as you call him out alive", said Dominion chuckling.
"Another load of luggage to carry", grumbled the Repeater.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be too difficult. I have the Navy heading towards the location of his transmission signal. I've sent you the location. You should have an enjoyable time I assure you at that", said Dominion smirking. The man was right. The Repeater smirked back, he would enjoy himself. The repeater was just sick that way. He had a bit of a pride problem.
Dominion smiled, "Enjoy the show, and please, I pray you won't disappoint me", he said logging off.
The Repeater laughed tossing up the com-link device. He turned on his heel whistling. He was filled with an incomprehensible glee. The Seer stared at him annoyed.
"What put you in such a happy mood?", asked the Seer.
"Well.....we get to go root out the vermin who we're looking for", replied the Repeater. The Seer knew there was a catch. There always was.
"And?", asked the Seer.
"And what sweet heart?", asked the Repeater frowning.
"Don't play dumb with me!", hissed the Seer standing up angrily aggravated now. The Repeater knew how to agitate her and knew how to tick her off. He enjoyed it. The Repeater tapped his chin.
"Oh......well.....we simply have to pick up the President's baby boy. Nothing too major", teased the Repeater.
The Repeater waved for them to follow, "I'll leave you both behind, it means there will be more for me", laughed the Repeater.
The Seer snapped at her brother who was looking at her, "Hey! Come on!".
The Hunter stared silently but stood. He walked quietly. He just followed like a common dog. Even though he so dearly wanted to say something and speak his mind. But his mouth was kept shut. He still had a tongue and teeth. But he just could groan and growl. Like the animal he was supposed to be.
