“So, we blow up the Earl before he blows up the world.” Elletra said, venom almost visibly dripping from her voice.

“If it were only it was that easy.” Hawkeye muttered, his mind already reeling with the plethora of ways they could try and go about this.

“It might be that easy,” Gladstone mused, “If we could find the central factories.”

“We would need to find his formulas too. Would those be at a factory or somewhere else?” Jerem asked, his brain calculating as much as a general in war would.

“They would be with the Earl.” Elletra and Hawkeye said in unison.

“So we get the Earl to a factory?” Jerem frowned.

“If we cause enough of a commotion. Or have him believe that we are at his factory, but that we don’t pose a threat.” Elletra said slowly with a malicious grin.

“Does he know that his shipment has been halted?” Jerem smiled back, following her thoughts.

“I’ll see what I can do with moving the cargo, and get ready.” Hawkeye said, already guessing where this was going.
