In a place devoid of light, a single occupant flipped through the file in front of him. He read the words in front of him despite not being able to see them. He (or was it an it?) needed a clue on how to proceed. "What is so special about this one? Why do I sense Grimm's interest?" he (it?) asked frustrated.
"Maybe it has to do with his past?" a gnarled old woman asked trying to b helpful. She stood out sharply form the inky blackness, something that should have been physically impossible.
"Of course it has something to do with his past!" the voice cried out in anger. "They live time one second after another! They haven't lived their future yet! But what? What in his past you fool!" The room grew hot with his (it's?) anger. The gnarled old woman felt her skin begin to blister from the volcanic heat surrounding her.
"What about his parentage? His mother and father?" She cried dropping to the floor of the void.
"Hmmm," the voice relaxed the temperature dropping quickly to an almost freezing degree, reflecting the heart of its owner. "You may have finally said something useful. But from what I've read they were nothing special in the past and remain worthless today."
"What would you have me do master? How may I help?"
"Locker 666. I have access to its dark recesses and all that enters it are like mine. Give it to this Simon. Let him enjoy it. Let him give us the information himself."
"You are wise master," the gnarled woman grinned.
"Stop your sycophantic sucking up! I need underlings who can help me! Not stroke my ego! Or would you like to end up like Victor's father?"
"No master!" the old woman yelled scared. "I will prove my worth to you."
"Locker 666. Make it happen." The old woman faded into the darkness surrounding her, and soon her presence was gone form all earthly detection.
"What is so special about you Simon? What is the Darrow missing?"
