"Say that again." Vanessa ordered Matthew with a murdering tone.
"Claudio approached me on the street and said he could help us with the Howling Spear problem." Matthew explained again. It was night and Matthew went to Eric's house to speak with Vanessa just after dungeon diving with his class. "He said he has someone in the DA's office that can help us."
"And he offered it on the goodness in his heart!" Vanessa exclaimed sarcastically.
"What does he want in return, Matt?" Eric asked in a serious tone.
"He wants me… Actually, Ffyr to help his research in the Labyrinth of Enkidu." Matthew said in a low voice intimidated by the energy Vanessa and Eric were showing.
"For how long?" Eric asked again holding Vanessa's hand containing her from screaming.
"For as long as he wants." Matthew said looking away embarrassed of even bringing the deal up.
"Tell me you didn't accept this bullshit." Vanessa spat on the grass. They were all in the backyard sitting by the pool.
