There are few things as captivating as

0:05

unraveling a family mystery, especially

0:07

one with as many twists as June's journey.

0:09

And you know we love a good twist. In

0:11

June's Journey, you play as June Parker

0:13

and investigate beautifully detailed scenes

0:15

set in the decadent twenties to solve

0:17

her sister's murder. Whether this is

0:19

your first case or your seasoned Sherlock.

0:22

June's journey will keep you hooked with new chapters

0:24

added every week. With more than thousand

0:27

scenes full of hidden clues, there's always

0:29

something new to discover. I've also

0:31

really enjoyed chatting and playing with other players

0:33

in the detective club. It makes me feel like

0:35

we're team on the case. And you can even

0:37

play against them if you're feeling particularly competitive.

0:40

And beyond the mystery aspect, June's journey

0:42

is just beautifully designed, and you can build

0:45

your very own island to state with expansive gardens

0:47

and beautiful buildings. I'm currently saving

0:49

up for a water feature in the front yard. Pick

0:52

up where you left off to uncover new secrets

0:54

or start your investigation today and

1:10

Since the first cavemen first gathered

1:13

around a campfire, we've

1:15

been sharing stories to freak each other

1:17

out to spark the darker

1:19

side of our imaginations. A

1:22

lot has changed since those first days

1:24

around the fire, but what hasn't

1:26

is our ability to conjure up terrifying

1:28

tales that can both entertain and

1:31

haunt you. My

1:33

name is Pen Bandoo. And I'm the

1:35

host of fear that curated

1:38

collection of Realm's most frightening stories.

1:41

In fear, whether you're fighting off

1:43

zombies in a department store or

1:45

uncovering a hidden horror deep in the

1:47

woods. You're bound to find something

1:49

truly shocking. The

1:52

joy of feeling creepy Crowley's

1:54

tingle of your spine is never out

1:56

of season. And with new episodes

1:59

coming at New Weekly, there's a whole

2:01

lot of spine tingling in store.

2:04

Be sure to join me in a journey immersed

2:06

in fear. Available wherever

2:09

you get your podcasts.

2:19

The Rapscallion agency. Elavaya

2:27

thin Chronicles story.

2:41

Chapter seven, Decoys and

2:46

demons.

2:54

Is this the location monster? It

2:57

is. Out racking shows they haven't moved the

2:59

knobs. Well, they think they're

3:01

right.

3:04

Do you want me an axial to go in

3:06

and get them? No. No,

3:08

Enzo. I'll handle. Mister

3:11

Mehrdan exited the Black sedan and approached

3:13

the metal garage door covered in

3:15

graffiti. He made a small hand signal

3:17

axle. I told him to hang back a step.

3:21

You are right, Paul. You knew

3:23

I'd find you again.

3:25

Over the rear door.

3:26

Well, it's nice to you to drop by.

3:28

Give

3:29

us back what you stole, and we can put

3:31

it in to this. Really?

3:33

Just like that. Well, wait. What

3:35

exactly happens to us? Nothing

3:37

needs to happen to you. You're not what

3:39

we want. Just opens the door

3:41

and give us back what you

3:42

stole. That's all we want.

3:44

And you promise you'll just let us go.

3:46

Of Now opens the door. Pinkie

3:48

swear on it. What time? This is our

3:50

lives we're talking about. Really serious

3:53

stuff. Do you super duper

3:55

pinky sweater to not hurt us

3:57

or do anything violent with that Swiss army

3:59

knife any years.

4:00

Alright. We do. Now

4:02

open the door. Okay.

4:04

Just

4:05

Your stalling pole. Just

4:07

give us a second. We

4:08

have cutting saws here to get in.

4:10

Okay. Hey. Just They

4:13

can cut through a lot more than this metal

4:15

door. The

4:23

aluminum door of the garage exploded

4:26

out as the air burst onto

4:28

the street and turned sharp in that

4:30

episode.

4:32

Don't go. Don't go. They're

4:36

anything is want me to cut them up on brood

4:38

window. Stay behind them whatever you do.

4:40

Don't lose them. Tell Axel to head to

4:42

root the port on the back exit. Station the

4:44

checkpoint at root the port at turning left.

4:46

Hold on. Get alongside

4:48

them, mister Rotter too narrow, damaged,

4:50

and closer. There are too

4:52

many cars. I said, get closer.

4:55

I'm dying. They're

4:57

not getting to go ahead. It's a real bump

4:59

up. There's to

5:03

get to the highway is actually positioned.

5:06

Excellent. Have you arrived at Grudy Point?

5:08

I'm walking on the only road across the lake.

5:10

They will have to come through me to get away.

5:13

In position, no giving away this

5:15

time. And

5:16

so, you're so threatening, maxing. You

5:20

is for last night.

5:24

Up steady. It

5:29

up funny. We're

5:32

driving three two x's. Get

5:34

ready, my friend. Ten seconds

5:36

to enter it.

5:36

Ready? We cleared through itself into a

5:39

hard right turn. I'm checking the van

5:41

on with select two wheels. It raised

5:43

down rumor road, spraying pools of water

5:45

onto the site. Pull up to the driver.

5:47

The thick rain made it difficult for hurricane

5:49

his head, but he brought the a player to a hard

5:51

stop as soon as he so acts like blocking

5:53

the middle of the road, holding two Scorpion

5:55

machine guns pointed directly at the

5:57

windshield.

6:07

Excellent. We open the door. Get the

6:09

bodies up so we can find the asset.

6:11

Alright. Both. Come

6:13

here. You need to see this. Miradoc

6:15

felt the unfamiliar feeling of having his stomach

6:18

drop. Has he watched Enzo open the driver's

6:20

side door via Claire? The seats and dashboards

6:22

were covered in glass shards and ammunition

6:24

casings, but the cabin was completely empty.

6:26

No one was in the driver or passenger seat. Meridox

6:30

eye immediately honed in on the unusual

6:32

steering wheel, which had an odd metal box

6:34

attached to it. The truck is

6:36

empty. It twitched right and left

6:38

as it being moved by an invisible

6:40

hand. Shuck. He's

6:43

empty. That's That's

6:46

that's impossible. It's not impossible

6:48

you, Immeisel. Can't you see the van

6:50

was being remotely operated? It was

6:52

a decoy Enzo.

6:53

Those damn leaves are clever.

6:56

Damn. Meanwhile,

6:59

ten miles north.

7:05

Those dam leaves are never

7:08

tapped.

7:10

Peace stabbed my van. He

7:12

literally stabbed my van.

7:14

Look at that video replay. Look

7:17

at that.

7:18

May I remind you that it's Alvin?

7:21

I'm pretty happy that we want inside of it

7:23

when he had that little temper tantrum with

7:25

his machine

7:25

gun. But he just stabbed our

7:28

van. Who

7:28

does that? Who stabs cars like

7:31

that? Just be happy we're on a train

7:33

heading back to Paris, modifying the

7:35

ultraviolet to remote drive van was

7:37

a really smart idea. Oh, did

7:39

you think I was just sitting around playing video

7:41

games with Raptors? Well, it was worth that

7:43

it gave us a big head start and got us

7:45

out of that gummy

7:46

garage. That was a close call.

7:48

I've been thinking the metal

7:50

hand guy must be from VTech.

7:52

Great. He

7:52

said we have to give back what we stole. We stole

7:54

from VTech, so he must work for them. Yeah.

7:56

But why not let the police handle it?

7:59

Seems like VTech wants to get the rat back

8:01

without anyone knowing about it.

8:02

Well, someone definitely knows. We were

8:04

being chased and shot out by someone in

8:06

white coat before Vader took them out.

8:09

Theo stealing from thieves. That

8:10

guy where the robot hand wasn't a thief.

8:12

He's the person you sent to make things so people

8:14

disappear. Well, if that guy's

8:16

getting to hand as any indication, BayTech

8:19

is making some pretty big advancements

8:21

in human cybernetic augmentation. Just

8:23

humans. Crooked. You saw

8:25

the tip of cookies tail glowing. You

8:27

saw what you did. Nature doesn't grow

8:29

fiber optic spinal cords. Wait,

8:32

Gloika looks. You see that? It's

8:34

happening again. She's doing it now. Look, her

8:36

tail is glowing red. Mizet

8:40

and Karakanix champion suspicious

8:42

looks. No number. Neither.

8:45

Hello? Oh, you cried. Look at my phone. Look

8:47

at all these characters racing across

8:49

the

8:49

screen. Me too.

8:50

I can't make it stop. Yeah.

8:51

I'm trying to turn it off, but my phone

8:54

is locked to

8:54

two. And it's so weird. And then

8:57

do you think, hey, it

8:59

stopped?

8:59

Try again. Cookie still.

9:01

It stopped growing.

9:02

My phone is working again. Mine

9:05

too.

9:05

He don't think. Yeah.

9:07

I don't know. That looks like some

9:10

sort of encrypted data stream. If

9:12

we were back in the eclair, I could use

9:14

excalibur to decomile it. But

9:17

well, you know who would probably know about

9:19

this.

9:19

Your friend wrapped up. Do you really think he

9:21

can figure out what's so special about cookie?

9:23

Maybe. Besides, we need to go to

9:25

his lair anyway to get the

9:26

eclair. Are

9:27

you really committed to calling Avandia

9:29

Claire. Are

9:29

you really committed to calling the red cookie? She

9:32

loves the macau when you bought. Seems like the

9:34

best name for her. Yeah. Watch this. Cookie.

9:39

Cooking does over way out of Lizette's bag and

9:41

hopped onto the tray by Lizette's seat. To

9:43

happily munch on the pastelna cover

9:45

for madam du Bois du bois du bois du bois

9:46

dujury. That's

9:47

amazing. And

9:48

I wonder what else we can teach her.

9:51

I thought you didn't like that. I don't. I

9:53

mean, I I do, but I'm I

9:55

like cookie. I don't get

9:56

it. Why? I don't like other people's

9:58

rats. Only my own rat. Okay?

10:00

Only cookie.

10:01

We're really going with cookie. She's

10:04

she's kind of cute. Look at

10:06

her little whiskers. Oh,

10:08

she told me.

10:10

Cookie. I think you better put it away

10:12

before someone on this train thinks it's a

10:14

cousin of the pizza rat and calls the

10:16

conductor. Well,

10:16

we can't lose cookie. She's an only

10:19

bargaining chip. If they find out we

10:21

lost her, they'll kill us just for

10:23

knowing about her. For some

10:23

mysterious reason, this little

10:26

rodent is worth more than a bugatti, and

10:28

people are willing to kill for

10:29

it. Wonder why.

10:32

What makes it so special? It's

10:33

not an it. It's a her. How

10:36

do

10:36

you know? Nipples. That beg your pardon?

10:38

Nipples.

10:39

Cookie has nipples. I'm

10:40

a boy. I have nipples. Not

10:43

twelve of them. What do you know?

10:44

I still can't believe that guy stabbed our

10:46

van. Hey, Lisette. Tell me again, what exactly

10:49

did Victor tell us who were supposed to

10:50

steal. He said

10:51

it was a microchip, one that would

10:53

change everything. Oh, it

10:55

certainly changed things for us. I think

10:57

cookie must be serving as a location

10:59

beacon. But hopefully, our train is moving fast

11:01

enough that it will be hard to pinpoint

11:03

our

11:03

location. The tunnels should help too. If they really

11:05

are tracking us through cookie, then I think I know

11:07

a place where no one can find us.

11:10

Where? Trust me.

11:24

What do you mean the van was empty? It

11:26

was remotely operated. We didn't

11:28

realize it before it was too it seems

11:30

had already escaped with the assault.

11:32

Do you understand the gravity of the

11:34

situation? Of course. The North

11:36

Korean sale is in two weeks. We've already

11:38

accepted twenty five billion in deposited

11:40

funds. That's a direct tie to a rogue

11:42

terrorist regime by a fortune five

11:44

hundred

11:44

company.

11:45

Someone else is trying to find them.

11:47

And maybe someone did. We

11:50

need the dam prototype back. That

11:52

rat's genetic code was the only successful

11:55

mammalian sample to achieve by a

11:57

transference with a new microchip in

11:58

clones. We can't create more clones without the

12:01

master. We

12:01

could storm. There's no grace period with the

12:03

people's ripper bake in our deck. As

12:05

soon as I think we stole the founts,

12:07

they'll leave data of our human testing

12:09

on the

12:09

refugees. It'll be over everything.

12:12

And we need to find them. The satellite

12:14

link with the Redfin plants is showing

12:16

berries, but can't pinpoint the

12:18

location. How is that possible? Hard to

12:20

say. The satellite link should provide

12:22

coverage so there must be some

12:24

interference. That could be anything.

12:26

Whatever it is, they're on the

12:28

move or someone else catches them

12:30

first. Are

12:30

you saying that if we find

12:33

the rat? We find them more. I'm saying

12:35

the data contained in the

12:37

hard drive in that red brain

12:39

could destroy everything we've worked

12:41

for. We need to get closer to track them.

12:43

We need more sensors. If you're suggesting using

12:45

the drones, may I remind you we'd be

12:47

breaking a dozen laws and bringing very

12:50

unwanted at and back to

12:51

VERTEC.

12:51

May I remind you, doctor, that there

12:54

won't be a VERTEC if we don't find the

12:56

asset? How

12:56

long do we need to prepare the drone fleet?

12:58

Can have fifty fly nets airborne within four

13:00

hours. We can blanket each district and

13:02

by getting closer to ground

13:03

level, we can heighten the tracking sensitivity

13:06

wait until after two AM. We won't

13:07

ask for your carios pedestrians on the

13:09

street. Let's speak to our operations team. Keep

13:12

the team small. Don't worry. That

13:14

the rat is still in Paris, we'll

13:16

find it.

13:28

Hi. I'm Gary

13:32

Whitter, BAFTA award winning writer of the book

13:34

of Eli and co writer of Rogue

13:36

One, a Star Wars Story. And

13:38

now I've created an all new science fiction adventure that I hope

13:40

you'll join me for. Gundag

13:42

is a nine episode limited series that

13:44

tells the story of Dakota bragment,

13:46

a young woman who has grown up following the

13:48

invasion of Earth by a brutal race of

13:50

alien machines known as the MEK.

13:52

When Dakota stumbles across a mysterious

13:54

map, could hold the secret to humanity's liberation.

13:56

She embarks on a dangerous journey

13:58

across an alien occupied America,

14:00

one that leads her to an amazing discovery.

14:03

A long lost prototype war machine known

14:05

as a gundog. Now Dakota must

14:07

confront a legacy she never knew she had

14:09

and embrace the warrior she was meant to

14:11

be. Facing down impossible

14:13

odds and an overwhelmingly superior

14:16

enemy in the hope of sparking a new flame of

14:18

human resistance. Gundar

14:20

is performed by Shannon Woodward of HBO's

14:22

Westworld and Troy Baker, Star

14:24

Of The Last of Us, with an original

14:26

soundtrack by Grammy nominated composer Austin

14:29

Wintery. Gundug is available

14:31

wherever you get your podcasts or you can

14:33

learn more at Realm dot f m.

14:37

This

14:46

is it. Yada yon train

14:48

station. Yeah. We need to move

14:50

quick. Now that they know the truck was a

14:52

diversion and they could be tracking us as we

14:54

speak to stay off your phone no matter

14:56

what. I

14:56

know how to hide that. I I

14:59

know you do. So there's really a

15:01

safe house nearby where we'll be untraceable. I

15:03

don't

15:03

know about untraceable, but I know some

15:05

way when pretty sure no one can find

15:07

us. Are you like Sure. Sure. I think you need to

15:09

trust me. I'm just

15:10

asking. Cookie things you need to

15:12

trust me too. Thanks, cookie, but it's

15:14

let's friends, I don't trust. And by the

15:16

way, having a little white rad on your shoulder

15:19

isn't exactly inconspicuous. Maybe

15:21

we can put cookie back in the box with the macrons.

15:23

Cookies find where she is. We just need to

15:26

move away from all these commuters and

15:28

tourists. We need to head to hole

15:29

three, the lower part of the train station.

15:31

The pair move swiftly down two flights of escalators to

15:33

the lowest level of Galderview. Lisette

15:35

walked ahead and passed several maintenance

15:37

kiosks as she entered the operational section of the

15:39

station. Okay. Is that stopped in front of

15:41

a door with a sign that red? This is

15:43

the tricky part. Track

15:44

access. Authorized personnel

15:46

only. We have to

15:47

wait for the coast to be clear. There's not

15:48

too many folks around. Just that

15:51

floor cleaner way down to the left and a few

15:53

metro guards.

15:53

I see them stand in front of me when

15:55

you. Gotcha. You can come closer,

15:58

you know. To cover the door when

16:00

I pick the lock. I mean.

16:07

Now wait. Wait for them to

16:09

turn their heads and Now The

16:11

zed and fluriken definitely slipped behind the

16:13

middle door and found themselves and signed one of the

16:15

train tunnels deep under the station.

16:17

This way, another five hundred meters.

16:20

Any concerns about trains barreling down on

16:22

us? Lots of

16:22

concern. I'm pretty sure TGP

16:25

train moving at full speed with kelos and

16:27

cookie. Yep. That's that's exactly

16:28

what I was thinking. The two

16:29

of them maneuvered along the edge of one of the underground

16:32

tracks before the z turned

16:33

bright. Come on,

16:33

this way. Don't let you touched the

16:36

tracks. God. They just stepped in

16:38

water. Harry. Yeah. That that

16:39

that wasn't water. Yeah.

16:40

Put on this message. Where are we going? In

16:43

here, throw this door. Come Yes. The

16:45

pair exited the tunnel for an unmarked

16:47

door alongside the train tracks and found themselves

16:49

in a small storage chamber with a

16:51

rusted iron ladder leading down to a

16:53

roughly chiseled hole in the floor.

16:54

Not a moment too soon. I

16:57

assume that this isn't the Eurostar lounge.

16:59

Well, there might be a gift box down

17:01

below. Oh, and put on the jacket, it's going to

17:03

get a lot colder. How

17:09

far like, down a weekend. Yeah.

17:13

About twenty meters, a

17:16

sidewalk. Yeah. I get it.

17:18

It's far underground. No one will be able

17:20

to land a trace signal on us.

17:22

Smart thing in the

17:23

set. It's something I from Harlequin. When

17:26

in distress, look for

17:28

water. Otherwise, get underground. If

17:30

not gain altitude, always look at

17:32

your situation three

17:33

dimensionally. Stay nimble as

17:36

it.

17:36

We're here. Keep your

17:39

head down. Sinning is really low. Yeah.

17:41

No. I'll definitely go. Watch

17:43

it. That's way. Listen.

17:47

I don't know if you're aware, but we are surrounded

17:49

by skeletons. The entire

17:51

wall, this this entire cave is lined

17:53

with human remains. Literally,

17:55

human bones. We're in the Paris catacombs,

17:58

one of the south branches, one that's

18:00

not on any of the maps. How

18:02

far does this branch lead? The

18:04

catacombs stretch two hundred miles underneath Paris. Some of the

18:06

paths are caved in and blocked by

18:08

water. There's a lot of secret entrances that

18:10

people have discovered, even though it's

18:12

illegal. My sense is that

18:14

did slow you down. It didn't. Here, follow

18:16

my headlamp this

18:17

way. Okay. And

18:19

now, left. This already feels

18:21

like a maze. Very,

18:23

very creepy maze. Well,

18:25

then you better stay close.

18:26

Or at

18:27

least hope your headlamp doesn't go out. Can you can

18:29

you wait a second? What is it?

18:31

I I need to admit it to breathe.

18:34

Oh, I feel I'm a little bit short of

18:36

breath. Claragan, are

18:38

you alright? Oh, okay. Okay.

18:40

Just breathe. I am breathing.

18:42

We've strung there.

18:46

There. It's okay.

18:49

There. Okay. Okay.

18:51

You you never told me that you were

18:53

so close to

18:54

phobic? I'm not. Actually, I never

18:56

been as close to bones. Death,

18:59

just

18:59

really afraid of of of

19:02

death. The abyss, the dark is.

19:04

It really

19:04

freaks me out, not existing. It it it's

19:07

not deaf. I mean, of

19:09

course, it is, but really

19:11

it's just people

19:13

-- Dead people.

19:14

-- people that led entire

19:17

lives, had jobs, had

19:19

children, How are you

19:22

feeling now? A little

19:23

better. Let's keep going. Come

19:24

on. It's just up here. This is the spot

19:26

where we would be safe. In between the

19:28

carefully stacked piles of skulls,

19:31

Femers and TBS that line the

19:33

cavern walls, there was a diminutive wooden

19:35

door that was at push open leading

19:37

into a small empty chamber with a cross hanging

19:39

on the far wall above a dusty's

19:41

steamer

19:41

trunk. So what is this place?

19:43

It's a room we found many

19:45

years ago.

19:46

Who's we?

19:47

The sacred sisters.

19:48

You cannot need to give me a lot more information

19:51

about that. When I made the decision

19:53

that I didn't want to be running madame

19:55

Lebate scams anymore, I run

19:57

away from the orphanage when I was

19:59

thirteen. Hollywood took me in

20:01

and raised me, but someone else

20:03

found me as well. A group of

20:05

young girls living on their

20:06

own, working for themselves in Paris like

20:09

a sorority of scams.

20:10

The pirates of Prada, chiming.

20:13

I

20:13

thought you said you like sororities talking. That

20:15

was very cute. So you traded one crime ring

20:17

for another. Luke was talking. At least

20:19

we didn't get busted like your

20:22

old club.

20:22

Whoa. Whoa. That's a low blow. You have

20:24

no idea what went down. Well, of course not because you

20:26

never talk about it. You don't

20:27

exactly have a a pedicure. Oh, so

20:29

it's my fault. Alright. Just

20:30

stop. You found an alumni group of

20:33

thieves and pick pockets. More like

20:35

survivors. We would do some small jobs

20:37

together while it Small

20:39

break ins, sometimes because sometimes

20:42

I would help, but Haloquin didn't

20:44

like me hanging out with

20:45

them.

20:45

So you quit the gang. Of

20:48

course not. I never asked to be Halloquine's word, and I

20:50

didn't want him choosing my friends. Sometimes

20:52

your friends are all you

20:53

have. He never understood that.

20:56

Hard to learn that lesson when you're immortal. But

20:58

maybe he was just being a careful

21:00

dad. I know he's not your

21:02

dad. I

21:02

didn't wanna spend my life being his

21:05

anchor to a mortal existence. I'm not

21:07

a stupid drop. You are

21:09

definitely not a prop. Hey. And not

21:11

stupid. Not stupid. Just a

21:13

little goth

21:13

maybe. So what happened? So I just got

21:16

better at sneaking out of the house, I'd meet the

21:18

girls at this they used to hang out

21:20

in. But one day, they showed me

21:22

this place, a hiding place.

21:24

Somewhere a girl could lie low if she didn't want

21:26

to be

21:26

found. It's not pretty, but

21:29

it's safe and if I'm

21:31

not mistaken.

21:34

Yes. Thank

21:35

you. Look. Wow. There's a steamer

21:38

chunk down here.

21:39

Please tell

21:39

me it's full of money and we could just buy a

21:42

ticket home. That's Pandora,

21:44

our magic box. There was a rule that whenever you

21:46

visited the chamber, you had to leave

21:48

something useful for the next

21:49

person. That way, the box kept

21:52

getting better. So let's see what

21:53

we have. Clarican,

21:56

can you shine your headlamp over here?

21:58

Sure. Oh, this

22:00

is good. There's

22:03

a top, a small lantern.

22:05

Oh, there's a Tokyo

22:06

room. Oh, what

22:07

flavor? White chocolate. No.

22:09

No. You

22:10

can have it. Well, cookie can

22:12

have Well, if

22:13

you hand me the tire, I can set us up

22:15

here on the ground. Great.

22:16

I think I saw a few blankets. Hey,

22:20

that was really good thinking. I mean, don't get me

22:22

wrong. This is creepy as hell. It's

22:24

freezing and provoked some deep seated

22:26

concerns about your childhood, but

22:28

you bought us some time. And

22:30

I'm really glad I trusted you.

22:32

Thanks. You

22:33

okay? What

22:34

were your parents like, Clarkin?

22:36

What

22:37

do you ask? Just

22:39

wandering. Well, I never knew my dad

22:41

super well. He was always traveling.

22:43

But my mom was

22:46

I guess you

22:47

could say she was a classic tiger mom.

22:49

Really, I felt closest to my grandmother.

22:52

She always was pushing me too. But I knew it was because

22:54

she loved me and was proud of how

22:56

I was always doing in

22:57

school. She

22:58

made me feel

22:59

loved. I never knew my parents.

23:02

Never learned why they gave me up. God,

23:04

I hate that stupid expression.

23:07

Maybe it wasn't even a day. Maybe

23:09

my mother was an amazing hero on the

23:11

run and did it to protect

23:12

me. I'll never know.

23:15

All I was that you know was the orphanage. I'm sorry.

23:18

That must be really hard. And

23:20

I guess I always took it for granted

23:22

that I knew where I came

23:23

from. Like, the beginning of my story.

23:26

Yeah. Well, I

23:28

never had that, that special thing

23:30

when you can look at your parents and have some

23:32

sense of who you are.

23:35

That you belong to something. The

23:37

thing that gives you some context

23:39

to figure out why you are the way you

23:41

are. I live in my parents. Never learned

23:43

why they left me at the orphanage.

23:46

Who knows why they did what they

23:48

did, but I do know that it had

23:50

nothing to do with

23:51

you? You understand that. Right? What's it? Six

23:53

million people buried down here. Some

23:55

say seven. 7 based on

23:57

the numbers, sometimes I'd like to

23:59

think that maybe someone

24:03

unrelated to somebody down

24:05

here, maybe family. My

24:07

family. I know. I know it's

24:09

weird, but it it comfort me to

24:11

come down here and feel that I'm

24:14

not

24:14

alone. I do come from some

24:17

place. You're not alone. I'm

24:19

here. I'm here. I'm in your

24:21

life, and I'm not going anywhere.

24:23

Mhmm. And unless what? Unless living

24:25

together or even working

24:27

together isn't what you had in

24:28

mind? No.

24:30

Know, Kerrigan. That is what

24:32

I want. I want to be with

24:34

you. Come here. Hold

24:37

my hand. Yeah. The

24:39

ceiling is low. Mhmm.

24:40

Oh. And this place,

24:43

keep you out a little, and we think that all these dead

24:45

bones or make you feel sad. No.

24:47

Not the bones.

24:48

The rats maybe. No offense cookie chips

24:50

or the roaches. No. Thanks for

24:52

that, but not the bones actually.

24:54

Wait. Do

24:55

you wonder

24:56

if your parents are here? God, no. This

24:58

place was built two centuries ago,

25:01

too long for my parents. Or

25:03

even my parents, grandparents, or

25:05

even their parents. But

25:07

just speaking mathematically, the

25:09

odds are that someone in my family

25:12

line is down here. Someone who's blood I might

25:14

share, and that's the most family I

25:16

have. Oh, what about Haloquin? I love

25:18

Haloquin. I do, but he's

25:21

not my family. The whole reason

25:23

I'm here is because I don't wanna be like

25:25

him, still fighting and obsessing over

25:27

things that happen centuries ago. I don't want to get lost in

25:29

his reflection. That's why I wanted to start a

25:32

new life

25:32

here. I could be

25:33

your family, that said. Family doesn't always mean

25:36

blood in fact. Okay. You

25:38

did really well today too. Really well. And you

25:40

were a great partner. You did a

25:42

brain job driving and it was a smart idea

25:44

to install the remote on the

25:46

echo. Thanks. We'll

25:47

figure out what to do with the cookie in the morning.

25:49

Assuming she doesn't run off with her million other

25:51

cousins living down here. Sounds

25:52

good. Yeah. Sounds

25:55

good. Listen, I'm I'm

25:57

pretty smoked. And if we're really safe down

25:59

here Say it again, I'm really

26:01

tired too. Come later. Next

26:04

to me,

26:05

please. And let's get some sleep.

26:07

Mhmm. That

26:08

sounds really good. And I was

26:11

sad. I need further. Three

26:26

hours later.

26:31

Claire again.

26:33

Claire again. God,

26:36

I wish I could

26:38

sleep like you. Just

26:41

as well, I need to call Adele.

26:43

Wow. I can't believe it was her

26:46

that burnt us.

26:49

Timmitt. No set reception.

26:52

I need to find a section of the tunnels

26:54

closer to the surface. I think there's a

26:55

spot, a hundred meters ahead. I need

26:58

to look for the ladder. Come

27:08

on. Bicap.

27:11

Bicap. Bicap.

27:12

Bicap. That really trap. Where are

27:14

you? Pickers said you saw the Vatek ship. You

27:16

can see us. No. Listen to me.

27:19

Who did you tell about the job? Who else

27:21

knew what we were doing at

27:23

Vatek?

27:23

What are you talking about? No one. I

27:25

didn't tell anyone.

27:26

Don't lie to me at all. I really

27:28

need to know. I swear to you, Lisa. I

27:30

didn't tell anyone else. Just tell

27:32

me where you are. And I can come get you. I think that says

27:34

you guys are in really big

27:35

trouble. In the last twenty four hours, I've dealt with

27:38

a flames thrower, a zipline, and a

27:40

well dressed assessing. So,

27:41

yeah, I think we are in trouble. You

27:44

said, what happened? Did you get in touch? It

27:46

doesn't matter. You can tell me where

27:48

you are. And I'll get

27:48

you. I need to

27:49

know if I can trust you, Adele. You can trust

27:51

family. You said, sisters always

27:54

stick together. Okay.

27:58

I believe you are there, but listen,

28:00

I need to get out of the country fast.

28:02

We've got police trained to find us

28:04

and some other other people trying to

28:06

kill

28:06

us. This is bad,

28:09

Huddl.

28:09

Listen to me. I can get you out of

28:11

France. I still know some What

28:13

kind of people? My friends and old clients bring

28:15

this muggling operation for stolen art

28:17

using private jets for executives. I can

28:19

get you a seat on a blank flight under a

28:21

different

28:21

name. Too

28:22

seats. That's going

28:23

to be hard. I

28:24

said two seats.

28:25

Okay. Fine. Two seats. But

28:28

you have to tell me where you are.

28:30

No. No. No. No. I stood dangerous. I'll

28:32

I'll just come to you. Fine.

28:34

Fine. Then then meet me

28:37

at Neville's at private airport. There's a

28:39

storage hangar of the North runway.

28:41

Outside this security zone, so you shouldn't be

28:43

able to get inside. I'll send you the link to the

28:45

location. Meet me there tomorrow morning

28:47

at six

28:47

AM. Don't be late or I won't be able to

28:49

you out.

28:50

Okay. Okay. Thank you,

28:53

Ida. My office, sister. I've

28:54

got you. He said, I'll see you

28:57

there later. Remember, stay at

28:59

the state. I will. And

29:04

Does that put her phone back in the pocket of her jeans and

29:07

returned to the small chamber where Torakán was

29:09

sleeping. He was surprised to see a yellow

29:11

glow emanating from the

29:12

room. Lisette? Corakán, you will wait.

29:15

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Come here. Look at cookie.

29:17

What tail? That tip is going

29:18

yellow. Yeah. I think her tail color

29:21

has something to do with how she's

29:23

feeling. I think yellow means she's

29:25

thinking. How do you know? Because I've been teaching

29:27

her some new tricks. Seriously, cookie is

29:29

an Ivy League rat, so

29:32

smart and she learned so easily. Look, see

29:34

this baguette. It's Cookie's reward.

29:36

Watch

29:36

this. Florakan brought the discarded Tubular Own

29:39

Barn for looking at his wizard face.

29:41

Good and

29:41

then plusted across the roof. Go fetch,

29:43

cookie, baguette. No.

29:47

Oh, good girl. Great

29:51

job. Here you go. It's not a

29:53

little

29:53

bread. Good job. Good fetch

29:56

cookie. Look how cute she

29:58

is.

29:58

Oh my god. That's

30:00

amazing. She's cocky.

30:04

What

30:04

else can to do. She just learned stuff really

30:07

easily. Bay Tech must have done something to

30:09

her. But look, I also taught

30:11

her

30:11

this, call her over to you.

30:13

Like you did before.

30:14

Oh, okay. Cookies,

30:18

makahoe.

30:18

Cookies, tempered up his head's pant leg and

30:20

rested on her shoulder.

30:21

She did it. She runs come.

30:23

Yeah. She did. Now, put cookie

30:26

in your hand.

30:26

Okay. Cookies. Crap.

30:30

Crap cookie. Oh, Kayla. She beat

30:31

me. Cookie. Clarican,

30:34

that's not an ice trick. It might come

30:36

in handy sometime. Not unless

30:39

you're crap. But she would never hurt

30:40

anyone. Would you cookie? Cookie.

30:44

Cookie.

30:45

I told

30:47

you. She's so

30:48

sweet. I

30:48

think I can get her to go into our backpacks with a

30:50

croissant, but it's amazing. It's like

30:52

she wants to learn. Oh, wants

30:54

to eat. Which reminds me how

30:57

longer do we need to stay buried here? I'm starting to get

30:59

hungry myself. We should go to Raptors lair.

31:01

His place is cloaked and we can figure

31:03

out what was on that data stream that

31:06

cookie was puking

31:06

out. Okay.

31:07

But we can't take long. I spoke to

31:09

Edda. She said she can get us out of the country

31:11

on a private plane in the morning. I

31:12

don't know. I said Do we really trust

31:15

her after what happened at Veta? I

31:16

trust her, Clarican. I do.

31:18

You trust me. Right? I

31:21

I

31:21

do. I do.

31:21

It's just just what? Nothing.

31:25

What about you, cookie? Do you trust a

31:27

Dell? But cookie said nothing

31:29

as she was in transit the

31:31

leftover crap from Miranda Boy that

31:33

she was consuming happily on the

31:35

floor by chlorican's feet. Back

31:50

in

31:50

Adele's apartment. I've got you,

31:51

Lizette. I'll see you there

31:54

later. And remember, stay out

31:56

of sight. Will ask. And

31:58

I don't. What

32:03

did she say? He

32:06

says they'll come to the hanger tomorrow.

32:11

They better or

32:13

I swear a killed and bull right

32:16

before I killed you.

The Leviathan Chronicles | The Rapscallion Agency

Set shortly after the events of the award-winning podcast The Leviathan Chronicles, The Rapscallion Agency continues the adventures of its two youngest characters, Lisette Mainsabiles and Paul Lee (aka Cluracan) who moved to Paris and use their unique skills to start a business, navigate young love, and lovingly care for a cybernetic rat. After converting a bakery van into their mobile hi-tech headquarters, Lisette and Cluaracan explore Paris by calling upon old acquaintances to help them find work for their new agency, But during a professional ‘audition’, Lisette and Cluracan are double-crossed, managing to escape with a priceless research asset that makes them a target of a powerful international conglomerate, VeyTech Pharmaceutical. As they try to decode the mystery in their possession, they have to stay alive as they are ruthlessly hunted by an assassin with a metal arm while figuring out who they can really trust to help them escape France.The Leviathan Chronicles is a full cast audio drama about a race of immortals that have been secretly living in a hidden city called Leviathan, deep under the Pacific Ocean. For centuries, the utopian society has existed in peace, gently influencing world events on the surface. But soon, a civil war erupts between the immortals that wish to stay hidden, and those that want to integrate fully with the rest of mankind on the surface. A clandestine division of the CIA known as Blackdoor discovers the immortals’ existence and seeks to eliminate the perceived threat that they represent to U.S. sovereignty. Soon, a three-way war erupts across the globe as each faction fights for supremacy, leaving the fate of the world hanging in the balance.Discover more podcasts set in the Leviathan Universe at www.leviathanaudioproductions.com.
