"Are you sure this is going to work?"
"Yeah, most likely, but things must be done carefully," Erik said.
"This is dangerous, Erik," Fischer said. "It's dangerous, even for you."
Erik's jaw tightened. "I didn't chase those fuckers for two weeks to not take this chance, James." A flicker of anger flashed across Erik's face.
The younger man's blood boiled at the very thought of the blackguards. The mere idea of their existence, their actions, and the harm they had caused fueled a fire within him that was difficult to contain.
"To find out Dark Tendril's team's number was already a blessing, since that was essentially what made it possible for me to track them down. But it is not him, Zakir, that worries me, but the guy coordinating his team."
"You mean momentum?" Fischer asked.
"Yeah," Erik said. "Zakir... Dark Tendril is not a smart guy. Or better, he is not as smart as Momentum. It's true that the guy made waves among the blackguards, but he became much deadlier when he got under Momentum's care."
Fischer stopped to think for a second. The guy tried to come up with something, anything really, to make Erik change his mind about going down this risky road. Yet, as he sifted through his thoughts, he realized he couldn't find any, and even if he did, he doubted Erik would listen to him. There was nothing Fischer could say or do that would make him change his mind.
He placed his phone on the desk and looked at it for some more time before picking it up again.
"All right. Be aware that I don't like this but... What do we have to do?"
"June will take care of most of it with the clones and will make the plan. You just need to provide him with what he needs. In essence, what we need to do is to attack the place. Since I got told I will be stationed in that area in the next few days, I already know that when you guys are going to attack, I will be called there.
"How can you be so sure about that? What if they do not call you?"
Fischer's face showed he was really worried. He seemed hesitant and worried about Erik's plan. The man was worried about the risks, especially with the big shots at the blackguards' hideout. He was even more unsure because Erik's optimism seemed to ignore the real dangers.
"I've spent enough time among the blackguards to know this will happen. Once there, I will take advantage of the chaos and get momentum. The clones will assist me in bringing him outside, while others will eliminate any opponent that stands in my way, if any exist. I won't be seen, I won't be noticed, and I won't be missed on the battlefield. Afterwards, I'll return to my post. It's this easy."
"What if they notice you are missing despite what you are saying?" Fischer wasn't convinced of Erik's idea. He was too optimistic. However, he didn't know he could turn into a fly or become almost invisible.
If he did, he would be inclined to think things were going to work. Erik had no intention of doing so, though, of telling the others about them. There were a couple of brain crystal powers he was keeping silent about.
