To Catch A King Wu Fei eyed the computer terminal for a long moment, ignoring the young cat threading through his legs and meowing for attention. He had an active computer terminal in a room that was not occupied; such should not have happened, which meant someone had accessed the system who might not necessarily have the appropriate clearance to do so. There was not only the mystery of the active terminal to deal with there was a game of Catch Me If You Can to distract him... Or was that, more appropriately, the mystery of the terminal distracting him from the game? He needed to choose a priority here. If there was clandestine activity in the palace, security should know about it. He would not permit any breach of security which might bring the safety of Milliardo and Stephen into question. Everything came second to ensuring their safety. But did he need to call a halt to the race? He could, and certainly would, alert security to the breach and potential threat, but did he need to disrupt the game in the process? Milliardo was actually playing. Milliardo, the too serious King of Sanc, had initiated the game. ` Did he want to detract from that rare moment of carefree abandon that had initiated this run through dangerously dark, and decrepit old carpet lined, hallways? If the chase did not end well the King might not again initiate such activity, and Wu Fei could not banish the sound of the low, husky chuckle as Milliardo had left the kitchen. The man had been enjoying himself and it was so rare that he smiled, let alone laughed. Could he chance ruining that? There was really no tangible threat, just an active terminal, which might have been active for days, since the last occupant of the suite departed; a waste of valuable electricity the staff was careful to avoid. He could not afford to delay some kind of investigation, but they would be unlikely to resolve the matter tonight. No resolution but... He would make the report then run like hell to make up for lost time. Now where would the King be inclined to go first? Slender fingers flew over the keyboard, entering access codes as he considered the possible location of his prey. Prey? A little cliché, he supposed, but the simple fact was that he was hunting the King. He was the hunter and Milliardo was the prey. And what might he expect as a reward if he succeeded in running his prey to ground, hmmm? There were some tantalizing images flitting through his mind and he grinned as he entered the final access code. TRACE ALL ACTIVITY ON THIS TERMINAL TO LAST LISTED GUEST IN SUITE. TERMINAL HAS BEEN ACTIVE FOR UNKNOWN LENGTH OF TIME. CHANG That would deal with the matter for the moment, if they wanted more details they could call him via the headset. Now, to catch a King.
