Vash hadn’t been at this work long, not really anyway. A month or two maybe? he had honestly lost track of time there, all of the tasks that he did or meetings he arranged in accordance with the patterns that he had set up in order to minimize any risk of being found out. It really helped improve security too, as the guards themselves were having to get themselves into shape in terms of their discipline. He hadn’t really interacted with any of the guards individually much though, at least not outside of the short exchange to make sure things were running smoothly, and so this would be a little interesting. Vash had kept his distance in terms of the guards, as he was just as wary—if not more so of the guards than the mutants in the underground altogether. This damned job was something like playing with fire, and he knew it was a very dangerous test that his father was giving him. All just to see if he was well disciplined and loyal enough to still be considered part of the family. Yeah, it was killing his patience and his paranoia wasn’t getting any better in the slightest. But he needed to communicate with them at least somewhat, as they were his employees and he did not, under any circumstances, starting to doubt his authority.
Of course, this was the perfect time to demonstrate it, since that same paranoia that was keeping him distant in terms of one-on-one communication with his employees was causing him to question the knowledge of a particular mutant. He didn’t know the names of any of them, nor did he really care to know any of their names—keeping himself as separated from everyone was the key to success in his mind. However, that wasn’t to say that he hadn’t frequented the underground to check on them, see the level of security (as he had to) for each mutant with their given specific powers. Since if any one of them got out for any reason, it would be on his head and he didn’t exactly wanted to deal with the chaos that would no doubt ensue if one of them got loose. Even less so still, was the desire to deal with any one of them holding the knowledge that he too was a mutant. Not like them, he was far from that…and he would never come close to accepting or admitting that logic since they were all born like that, and made to be lower class—he was not. At least that is what he had been raised to believe, but it was also the logic that got his family wealth to some degree…so of course he had to believe it. He knew that everything he did in this job was high-risk for himself and he wasn’t exactly happy about it, but he didn’t have much of a choice. And so when he came to the conclusion that one of the mutants was watching him closer than he would like, he resolved to remove it from the underground. And by removing it, he thought that termination would be the only assured means of doing so.
He had been informed that the most skilled of his employees for doing something of this matter was someone by the name of Tino Väinämöinen, that was one hell of a last name and Vash wasn’t exactly sure that he would ever be able to pronounce that properly so…he just wouldn’t try. But either way, he seemed to have a good amount of skill at discretely terminating the undesirable, and that was just what he needed.
However, Vash wasn’t very well going to just walk out and ask Tino to kill someone for him, no. While he had control over the life and death of the mutants in the underground, it was not normal to just order one of them to be killed without someone raising a few questions as to why. He could lie and give an answer if he needed, however he would rather just keep it quiet altogether so he wouldn’t have to be put on the spot about it. Therefore, he would need to have this conversation in private.
Vash had made a point of toying with all of the cameras and the sound in the room so that it appeared like it was empty—he had learned his way around the camera system (in his room at least) earlier on just in case he ever lost control in his office so that no one would see, it would be secure to do it there.
“Tino, I need you in here in two minutes, there is something I want you to do and it requires immediate attention.” he spoke formally, keeping the anxiety out of his tone as he spoke on the radio he was given to communicate with each of his employees, depending on the channel he used.
Placing it back in its holder, he couldn’t do much more other than wait for his first private meeting with one of his employees—he didn’t even know what Tino looked like as he hadn’t distinguished any of them from one another when he had spoken to them last. Well, and usually he spoke to a higher line of command anyway, as he didn’t need to deal directly with the guards—but nor did he want to have many people know about him and Tino having a meeting, and he did prefer to do things in a more….direct manner.
