Series Five - Ghost
Alright so the last full chapter I wrote for REM begins with Inika burning all the shit she has that reminds her of Ollie and moving out to Myshuno.
Cause fuck him, am I right?
Levi sets her up in a new much nicer apartment in the city but the level of luxury is more than she’s used to.
Then they get right to business. Levi has people tracking and doing research on Olin but a lot of the details seem suspect.
They then discuss the event in question, taking Inika back to the day they were arrested. Inika just happened to be in his dorm room and had nothing to do with what Olin had done.
He was not happy they were taking her in too.
So he frees himself once they are in open air and tries to help Inika escape.
Inika notes that she felt as though he thought if he could get her far enough away they’d stop chasing her and put all the focus on him. Unfortunately they were quickly surrounded on all sides and Nika was running out of energy.
Author’s note:
So I meant to put in this chapter or the next one that they end up getting caught because Olin puts Inika in a place he thinks she’ll be safe only for her to get immediately caught and taken back to the station. Olin agrees to turn himself in and explain everything if they agree to let her go.
Anyway... back to what was actually in the chapter. Levi says it’s strange that he’s not in lockdown because blowing up a statue on a crowded university campus should warrant some serious charges. So as he understands it only one of two things happened.
He cleaned up his act.
Or he was recruited by an Agency. Inika disagrees with the latter assessment quite strongly.
Eager to get back to work after weeks of leave, Inika heads out to her warehouse to meet up with her boys.
She is weighed down by the stress of what she and Levi talked about though. While she was gone her team has been tracking Olin. They.. find the work rather boring.
Inika explains that they’d be surprised by what the quiet ones hide.
Then goes outside for a smoke.
Outside in the relative quiet of the city night Inika begins to feel paranoid that she is being watched.
That perhaps Olin might see fit to toss her out into space like Rachel once he finds out how high up she is in Idealogix.
Her anxiety was not exactly misplaced. Olin was watching her and snagged her off the street before she could say much of anything.
Arriving in a bathroom Inika is miffed it wasn’t somewhere nicer but mildly grateful. Olin explains she’s going to be sick soon and doesn’t want it on his furniture.
After recovering from the trip Nika walks out of the bathroom to find herself in a rather nice space.
And is pretty annoyed Ollie never brought her there before.
He explains he only brought her here because it’s off world and it’d be extremely hard for Levi to track her there. Nigh impossible in fact. Then states the reason she got sick is because he pulled her through time and space and humans aren’t really equipped to handle that sort of thing. He then tells her he’ll be keeping here there for the time being.
She accuses of kidnapping her, which he doesn’t dismiss saying that she’s probably already given up a lot of information on him to her boss. Then Inika asks if she’ll just be sitting around doing nothing until he sees fit to let her go. To which he simply says.
Olin then uses Inika’s phone to reach out to Levi, telling him to leave he and his family alone.
Or he’ll have to come after him. After he finishes his business he lets Nika down and in a fury she asks if he is an agent.
Hit the limit again... another short part two incoming.
