Geniuses

Theron didn't take long to find Burne's corpse. He slipped a spatial device off of his finger, but he didn't even get the chance to go through it before it vanished from his hands.

He didn't even have to look up to know that it was the old man. It seemed that he wouldn't be getting any freebies today. But that much was fine by him.

Theron had known that after taunting Burne, the man wouldn't be able to help himself. A good dog would always be eager to please his master, and even more eager to make up for any mistakes he had made.

To Burne, the only way to fix things was by proving that Theron was every bit the danger he assumed him to be. So this time, Theron wasn't as cautious as he usually was. He just pretended to be and then slipped out of the academy.

Honestly, though… that was the easy part.

Theron walked back to the old man.

"How did you find this place?" he asked coldly. Clearly, the old man was still upset.
