Music: “Wolves Among Gnomes” - by MS (© GnomeTone Records)
“The President is asking for the assistance of Steel & Stone…” He peered over his glasses at us, “...unofficially, of course.”
He flipped through a couple more pages, humming to himself. “To keep the peace and soothe growing tensions among the factory workers—until you are able to change sponsors officially.”
Dax frowned. “Change sponsors?”
“To come and work for the government,” Ian said, practically giddy. “If you win, of course.” He skimmed a few more lines, then passed the packet over his shoulder to a nearby suit. “In the meantime, we just need you to use your influence over the people. Calm them down. Let them know the government is their friend. Their savior. Their thinking’s already been done, you see. It’s just a matter of reminding them.”
“Mahan’s pink panties, his teeth are huge,” Chuck muttered beside me. He laughed and slapped my knee. “Am I the only one here staring at this boy’s face?” Before anyone could stop him, Chuck reached over and actually tapped Ian’s front teeth.
Just—tap tap.
The albino flinched so hard he nearly fell out of his chair.
“I didn’t know you could breed gophers with gnomes…”
There was a beat of silence, and then a stifled snort from one of the guards.
