Security And Concessions Pagan was not amused. Someone had accessed a terminal, leaving it active. A mistake that would prove their downfall. Someone without authorization had done a commendable job of hacking the system. An unacceptable security risk and waste of precious power. There was a leak and he would find out the identity of the spy, who they worked for and what they were seeking. He flicked a scorching glare at the guard standing beside him and inclined his head toward the open section of wall marking the entrance to a secret passage. "Set watch on the terminal. Have a trace active and the bedroom under observation 24/7. You will report directly to me; failing contact with me, reports are to be made to Heero Yuy." "Sir." Pagan dismissed the guard and watched him slip into the secret passage, closing the door silently behind him. In his wake Pagan glowered at the wall, considering the rabbit warren the halls of the palace presented. The Alliance Governor who had constructed the building in three distinct phases had presented security with multiple nightmares, though the secret ways did allow for easier movement through daylight hours. One of the reasons the building was so hard to heat effectively was the width of walls and their hidden ways. It worried him that he did not have a complete map of the building; the blue prints having been destroyed in the assault by Oz that had freed Sanc of Alliance occupation. There were secrets in the house and Pagan was not one to like secrets... unless they were his own. Turning a smouldering glare on the empty hallway Pagan lightly touched his earpiece, toggling up the control room. "Hunter. Position update requested." "Phoenix is stationary, mid main hallway, Western Wing. Chang is approaching the servants staircase to the third floor west of your position. Maxwell has slipped surveillance; last reported location was the main hallway of the East Wing two minutes ago." "Acknowledged. Hunter out." Maxwell had vanished from the security screen? Hunter scowled. He would have to have a talk to that young man and find out exactly what secret ways Maxwell had discovered that his men had, to date, missed. And Phoenix was stationary? Now just how long had that young man been still? Was it possible he had slipped his leash? //I'll have his guts for garters if he has!// For a long moment he considered his response and sighed. It was a Run. The King was the quarry and knew he would be traced by security; should someone slip word to Maxwell or Chang... Best to check if Milliardo had removed his tracer and, if so, Pagan would decide what to say when he caught up with the young man. It was, after all, the Run. He had to make concessions. "Hunter. Is Phoenix on camera?" Yuy's voice reassured Pagan. "Affirmative, Hunter. The Phoenix is on camera." "Notify me immediately should his position be lost on camera. Hunter out."
