Gods Will Be Watching Soundtrack - 20 Days of Empty Words

Diego entered the hole were Mitnick was engulfed all nights, since God knows when. He was currently watching data on numerous screens, all dispatched in the room at different places, but four just in front of him, in what seemed a desk. They were displaying what seemed to be a night club, a closed one, and Mitnick was visibly listening to the audio with a headseat. In one of his hand was a mug, with what seemed to be blood warmed up in a microwave. The air smelled of ozone and wires, metal and a hint of blood.

@Diego, Bruiser Rat

Diego stopped at the entrance and lowered his hood and collar. It felt safer here, he liked that feeling. It was oddly calming to see Mitnick doing his thing, same as always. As if time stopped in here, and everything was as before. - I got rid of the bodies, - he said loudly, announcing his presence. Diego walked up to his clanmate. Waited for him to take off his headphones, and gave him a greeting nod. - Anything interesting in here? The court? Your kid?

"I... Owe you one on this one. For the court and the kiddo... I don't have cameras there yet, but it's a nice... Fuck, I really need to have some of those there. I'll need to ask the kid. The kid is out, surely having fun by himself." His look stayed on his computers, a front camera was visibly displaying on one of his screen the face of Diego, allowing him to not look directly at him. The Nosferatu let out a smile, which was pretty surprinsing from him, when he mentionned Vincent. "You are coming here because you want something..." He suddenly began to rush to his keyboard and to tap really quickly, moving his right hand on a mouse, and doing frenetic movements on it, but staying undisturbed. A screen was switching between maps displaying strange landscape and creatures of other worlds on it, shooting lasers and being eaten by Alien. Mitnick used Zerg Rush.

@Diego, Bruiser Rat

Diego looked at the at the screen, trying to figure out exactly what. - I've seen posters for that one. With an odd woman on posters, with tentacles for hair. I guess whatever staves off the hunger for you, Mit. The gunlugger leaned against one of the tables and put the backpack at his feet. - This is something you'll for free, - he pulled the journal out of the back. - Because this matters, or should matter, to you too. He put the diary on the table next to Mitnick's keyboard. - I've been to Selma's place. She's been in deep shit for a month, Mit, and we never took notice. She mentions you and Gary as well. Put the game on pause. Read in.

As soon as the name Selma was told, Mitnick stopped his game. He looked at the journal, silent, before taking him and turning to Diego, but not looking him in the eyes. Never in the eyes with Mitnick. "I. Didn't knew." He spoke coldly, visibly distant all of the sudden. "You did find her ? Where is she ?" He began to flip in the journal, a concerned look growing on his features, as he was going back and forth. "It's coded. She code the diary."

@Diego, Bruiser Rat

Diego ever-so-slightly shook his head. - He hasn't been there for some time, Mit. She has a dog and the thing almost died of hunger. And Diego still was thinking what do do with it. He left it 20 kgs of dog food and wondered if it was enough for the week..? ...Several days...? ...A day...? He really needed to read up on dogs. - She was supposed to head of to the factory, probably the one Vince mentioned. I don't know how thorough he and that Warlock were there. Diego stopped to think. - The last month in the diary is not coded... Selma either didn't have the strength to code it, or wanted it to be readable, - he pondered if it could be a trap... but he trusted his instincts. And the the carving in his bag. - They caught her through her "smuggling". Maybe that could help us trace the pack members. And in the last part of the diary she mentioned a gangrel snitch. I will investigate that next.

Mitnick raised a hand to his eyes, before leaning backward in his chair. His face to the ceiling, covered by his eyes, he spoke in a hoarsed voice. "I'll take care of the journal. Finding the key and decoding it thorougly to give it to you after. You'll be the first to know."

As Diego was going out of the place, he could hear Mitnick whispering to himself: *"Be safe, I don't want to lose more of my family." *

Diego stopped at the door put the backpack back on. Or so it looked. - Thanks for help, Mitnick, - he said casually. - ...Ask Amelia for help. Sure, she complains a lot, but... she's one of us. And she needs to take that to heart. And he left his geek brother to his games. (edited)

==END SCENE==

I'll let you recap it if you wanna

Recap: Diego came to Mitnick with the coded journal. While little was said, a lot was mutually implied about Nosferatu family values, as well as the guilt of failing a family member.
