"Oh great, not like I have enough to worry about" Zena grumbled in an almost beyond annoyed state, "now I have two whack-jobs to deal with, though the Scorpios is more dangerous than the Toymaker." She stepped out of the Hungry Wolf and Snake to see the Toymaker's stand with the Scorpios, though she also worried about Julia and what the Escapist was doing to her.

"I'm waaaaiting" called the familiar voice of the Escapist on her communication screen. Zena's hair stood up as she pulled the screen out to see the Escapist's familiar smug.

"This is an unregistered number, how did you find it?" Zena grunted.

"Well, it's quite a easier than one thinks" the Escapist commented, "I basically called all the communication screens that weren't listed, including the ones that don't exist. I must admit, it took me a while." The masked wild dog gave a wry cackle before showing a gagged Julia shackled to a cave wall wearing a thick coat.

"Oh, Julia is fine by the way, though she 'is' getting kind of cold and she 'really' misses you" taunted the wayward magician as he held up a canine like skull, "and I think someone else misses you too. You know where she is, so you better come in person or she might not make it through the winter. Tootles!" The screen flashed off with Zena grinding her sharp teeth together angrily.

Zena knew what she must do...

--------------------------------------------

The harsh cold wind blew across the cave entrance as Julia struggled against her metal restraints, she couldn't help but look into the camera that was pointed at her. It was strange, Julia couldn't remember being shackled, but she did remember the Escapist walking up and turning into the camera that stood before her. It was highly unlikely that the Escapist was a robot, though that made her doubt if she ever saw the 'real' Escapist.

What she didn't know was that the 'real' Escapist was in front of a green screen so that he could put his image in front of the image taken at the cave. It was an old trick, but it still worked, especially on communication screens like the one Zena had with a lower quality screen. Or at least, he thought she did, last time he checked she didn't get a new one with the SHD screen (super high definition) with RedRay player capabilities.

Now that was done, he needed to find out a little more about this "Toymaker" character.
