Hacker Girl

Leo sat down next to her. "I know you said it was none of my business, but what exactly were you researching?"

"he believed there was a hidden town deep in a valley,that housed all sorts of strange things.he was a traveler,but he never could find it and started to think it was legend like everyone around kept telling him it was,they got irritated and he got tired of hearing them doubt..i didn't think he should give up on it and i wanted to show them all he was right...thats pretty much it.i know not where it is but i was able to track down someone who claims to be from there. seems though,that it doesnt matter anymore..he wanted to explore that valley before passing but i wasnt fast enough.."

"Then why not experience it for him." Leo said. "Bring a peice of him with you when you find it and place it there. It will be like he'll visit it in the afterlife." He suggested. Sipping again from his drink

"..cause i'd still have to find this person get them to tell me or lead me to the place and they may say no,theres a reason it's been considered hidden.."she said,not declining the suggestion,but pointing out what would have to be done in her mind.

Leo looked to her. "Then I don't know. I want to help. But I don't know how to help. All I can really do is cook, get you booze and offer you a place to stay" he said laying his head on the bar.

she held a bit of a smiled and sighed."..sorry,i'm not easy to help,i'm conflicted on whether or not i want the help.."

Leo looked to her. "Well I'm here if you need me for anything"

"i know..thanks for that..guess i need someone to be there at least.."

Leo smiled. "Well it's lunch time. You want me to make you anything?"

"..not really hungry thank you."she said and finished her glass and got up.

Alright" Leo said going into the kitchen. 'I need to think what I'm doing for dinner."

she stopped and stood then looked to leo."you know,you say this is a business you run..there isnt much activity that i've seen."

"Not a lot of people know. About this place. And I haven't wanted to atract any unwanted attention. So I make the effort to inform the populace once every month. Those who know the password gets into the fights themselves. Then we let in the crowd" he perked up. "Actually we're about due for another tourny"

"oh really now..just a wild guess but you are the unbeaten champ too."she said and remained standing.

"I play with the other fighters. I've won every one so far. But that may change." He looked to her. "You saying you want in?"

"..may take up some of the extra time i have.so i don't see why not."

"Alright, hacker girl. I'm gonna go spread the word around I'll be right back" he said walking for the entrance. "Go ahead and help yourself to anything.

"..alright then."she shrugged and walked to her room to just hang around in there for a bit.

Her computer dinged. "You got mail" it said

"!?.."she approached it cautiously and went to click the icon that told her of this mail.she doesn't remember even having an email address.

A green hedgehog appeared on the screen. "Hello"

"....hiiii..."she stood hunched over looking at the screen."..what do you want?"

"Your Leo's friend violet? Right?' The hedgehog said. "The names Cyrus. I'm the one who build this computer. How do you like it?"

"..uhm..its nice,made researching go faster.."she shook her head a bit."ya i'm violet.."she replied a bit delayed,alot on her mind now."again,what do you want?"

"I was wondering if Leo was around. I need to talk to him."
