As we got back to the clan building, we saw that there was a new message from the Heat Clan. I just had to sigh. They were really going to make us do their dirty work. It would not be easy. We looked at the transmission. It seemed that the attack on the Toxic transmission hub really rattled the PEP unit community. So much so it forced the Sonic Clan to make their move. They were part of the Advocat faction, so of course they wanted to get peace with all the big bad government goons. They offered to speak at their safehouse with representatives from all over their region of influence. That was the southeast region of the continent. They also invited the Researcher and the other Advocates faction members as well. It seemed to be quite the big party. It seemed that they did not want to risk losing resources or clan members. Luckily, they had us to run errands for us. We would be going in their place and report to them. That way they would be able to gather lots of information on this with minimal risk to themselves. The safehouse was a huge club for music and dancing. Perfect for the clan.
Being that it was the perfect excuse to schmooze and have fun, we had to take this. I looked at Mason. "No. We just got back." he whined. "C'mon. This is a vacation. It's just what we deserve right now. We get to party, dance and listen to music. After that, we go to this meeting and pay attention. Easy." I said. He glared at me. Mason was not happy. "The Pierce Clan meeting was supposed to be easy." he sighed. I just shrugged. "And did a single hair on your head get harmed? I will protect you. We can do whatever we wanted over there." Now that I got a big excuse to run off and have fun, I was not going to let this slip away from me. Mason looked at me and said "I'm fine here. Why don't you just go ahead by yourself. Someone has to tell Paul and Brett how things went down when they get back." That was true. "Fine. See you when I get back." I told him as I left. I was going to have to take one of the sedans over. I did not want to leave an obvious trail back to the clan. Especially if things went really bad here. This meeting could make it or break it for Sonic Clan. I hope it all goes well.
Calling the Heat Clan from the car, I told them I was going alone. They told me to stop over at their office to get something to record the meeting. I sucked my teeth out loud because it was out of my way. I could not refuse them, however. When the car got to the parking lot, 03-002 was waiting. He walked up to my window and tapped on the glass. "I appealed to our leader to allow me to come along instead of giving you recording equipment. Humans are surprisingly skittish and paranoid about these things. It would be better if I went with you openly." he said as if he had to explain why he wanted to go to the party. "And I can be your bodyguard." I added with a smirk on my face. He tried not to laugh at the statement. It was probably his belief that I was beneath him as a human being. However, he did not have the luxury of pissing me off before he got in the car. I opened up and he got in on the passenger side. We then began to punch it. We got there only 52 minutes before the meeting was going to start. The club always threw parties from what I heard, but this one here was really big.
