Chapter Five – Payment In Pain
and the Spy MasterDown in the underworld, the Warlock who had for the past week been scheming behind the scenes, was sitting at a table made of stone as he waited for a report on his first active attack on the Halliwell brothers. On the side stood a second “Rent-a-Spy.” He had the same dark baggy clothes and green tinted skin. His jet black hair was slightly less messy. There was an air of command to him.
“Did you learn anything useful?” the Warlock asked the Spy Demon Master.
“The Charmed One vanquished one of my spies,” the Spy Master admitted, “but the other two were able to report in. The one spying on the younger reported nothing of value . . .” the Spy Master added, annoyance lacing his voice, “. . . I was forced to punish him since he mostly spied on the donut cart in the break room.”
“I trust the other had something useful,” the Warlock stated, sarcasm in evidence.
“He said that the older of the two brother witches seems to use his orbing powers a lot,” the Spy Master informed the Warlock. “If you find a way to bind their orbing, it might give you an advantage.”
The Warlock smiled. This was the kind of info he wanted, even if it was a bit limited. “Thank you. Hold out your hand.”
The Spy Master looked at him suspiciously. “Why?”
“So that I may give you the key to your payment,” the Warlock told him, his patience waning.
The Spy Master held out his hand. The Warlock reached out and put his hand on top of the green tinted one of the Spy Demon Master. A glow emanated from between their hands and the Spy Master pulled his hand away suddenly. “Ouch!”
The Warlock ignored the Spy Master’s discomfort, going on to give him instructions. “Go over to the wall on my left. Feel along it until your hand stops. Turn your hand one-hundred-and-eighty degrees. The wall should open and your money will be there. I have a gel to make.”
