Back at headquarters, Colby’s staring at a holographic screen. Beside him, Dyke gives him a prolonged stare.
“You knew this would happen didn’t you? You pushed him to do this.” Says the falcon.
“All I did was give him a little push. Looks like Zach here took the message.” Even though he says this, there’s that spark of worry flashing in his eyes.
“You’re worry.”
“Does it show?”
“A little.”
He takes a deep breath, letting it out after a few seconds. “I guess I’m a little concerned about his approach. This Sora isn’t an easy case. Many cupids have found themselves going crazy all because of her. I just thought…I mean I assume that Zach.. maybe he’s different. Turns out the kid’s whipped as well.”
Dyke gives him another long stare. He brings a hand up and covers his ajar mouth.“I can’t believe you’re telling me this now. I mean I’ve heard stories but I didn’t think it was Sora.”
Colby realizes what he just said and looks away for a moment, grinning bitterly. Rustles gonna kill him for sure. He looks at his fellow friend and squints his eyes into two moon shapes. Everything should be fine. As long as news doesn’t hit Ristle.
“Surprise surprise.“ is all he can say to the black falcons
