Chapter 151: The Drift

"Okay, hear me out; I can see you are mad, and you should be, but I think this will be good for us, and…." Wills started to ramble, but I put my hand up to stop him from making more excuses.

"No, I don't want to hear excuses. Tell me what happened from the point where you two decided to go save half a race of people," I said and went to take a seat on a stool that allowed my tail to stay free. 

"Sure, I will tell you since Will is just going to embellish everything," Bob told me.

"Hey! I will not!" Will complained, but I shook my head.

"No, that was twice now. Bob will be the one to explain since he has decided to stay quiet rather than lie to me," I said, looking directly at him. 

I was feeling quite stressed about this, and I would have to look into this in the future. I didn't understand how Will was even able to lie to me in the first place, and it made me feel very apprehensive of him.

Hilda, is there a reason for this?

'The AssassiBee is a Rogue Class, and they are able to blur certain rules if it is for the good of the Hive. There is no way that he can do anything nefarious or of ill intention, even if it might look that way at first, but this is pushing the System to its limits. You will need to deal with this one properly, but what he did was not wrong. The lies were needed for the time,' Hilda explained in my mind quickly as I waited for Bob to start explaining the two of them.

I would wait and hear the pair's tale, and then I would have to decide how to deal with the two of them. Hilda was right, as much as I didn't want to admit it.

"You are going to go against what the Queen just told you?" John asked Will, but he just rolled his eyes.

"Don't act like that; you know why I have to go look! How many stories have we heard coming out of here since we got back! If it hadn't been for the Predators, then you know that we would have already been here!" Will hissed at John. 

The two of them were in the Drift, the place that they faded two, and were able to move along the Path. The AssassiBee class slipped into the place known as the Drift and then only needed to walk the Path in life that they have chosen.

The Drift would take them to the place that they needed to be. To anyone but an AssassiBee, this would make no sense, but if you have not walked the Path, then you can never know.

"So then what happens if the rumors are true, and they did make it back here somehow? What will you do then?" John asked, but Will just glared at him.

"Don't ask such stupid questions, brother. You know exactly what I will do, and I will face the consequences later; that is my creed and my way. Nothing has changed; I can still bend the rules with this new class. You will keep the Queen safe with Rixie and the others; I will deal with the rest," Will said, and then walked out of the Path to stand behind Tok, the Transport Beam operator.

Will had a plan, but he wasn't the only one in on the plan, and Bob had been watching him. Bob knew the way that Will worked and expected him to try something like this, but Bob was right there with him, but without a name tag.

"Hey, don't jump, Tok, it's just me; I am not going to kill you this time, hehe," Will said with a short laugh as he stepped back.

"What's up, Will? Aren't you supposed to be with the Queen?" Tok asked as he turned to see Will.

Ashia was still talking, but she was about to wrap up her final speech. 

"Listen, Tok, I might need you to target some places for me, okay? I will need you to bring some people up, but I don't want any question if we do need to, okay?" Will asked seriously, and Tok looked over at the Queen.

"Are you sure that it is a good idea, Will? You know she is going to be mad, but I will help you if you're willing to take the blame for this," Tok said after a long sigh.

"No, it's not a good idea, Tok. This is a horrible idea that might end up getting my head removed, but if I'm right, it will be worth it," Will said and slipped back into the shadows, but before he did, Bob placed a unique tracking bug on Will.

Bob had talked to Gamble yesterday about something that could be used to track people. Gamble had barely even given Bob noticed as he reached into his desk that he was working at and pulled out a small box and handed it to Bob.

"There are small bugs that can be tracked very basically with the Crystal monitor that I included in the box for you," Gamble explained to Bob without looking at him, and Bob frowned.

"How did you know that it was me?" Bob asked with a raised eyebrow.

Bob could fool his closest friends, but for some reason, this Skunk was able to identify him without looking at him.

"That is because I am not looking at you. Your Class ability only works when someone looks at you. Remember that if you run into someone that is blind or sees without their eyes, your power will not work," Gamble explained, and Bob's eyes went big.

"Thank you," Was all that Bob could get out as he turned to go, blinking his eyes.

This was the first time since Bob had gotten his new abilities that he had been surprised by something. Gamble was wearing a self-satisfied smile as Bob was about to leave the room.

"You want it to take Will, right?" Gamble asked casually, but that made Bob spin around and then press the red button on the wall of Gambles office.

"I am not even going to ask how you know that, but yes. Why? Is there something that I don't know?" Bob asked, and Gamble's smile grew bigger.

"What do you know of the Drift?" Gamble asked.
