Hookwolf turned back to me, “Suspiciously competent for an ambulance driver. Pretty fucking sure that’s one of Coil’s people. What are you doing with her?”
I didn’t answer.
Aw, shit.
That’s a good point. The E88 finding out the Undersiders are under Coil’s protection and even employment would be bad news. They’re pissed off enough at the Undersiders as it is.
My bugs reacted to a funny noise from the direction of Cricket and Coil’s woman, but I couldn’t hear it myself. Grue’s power did strange things to sound. I had more immediate concerns.
Strange things?
Interesting. That’s not the same as completely drowning it out, which is the impression I’ve been left with so far. We may have a solution to the issue of how Armsmaster was able to navigate the darkness here.
Hookwolf dropped his hand to his side, and I saw how the bullet had penetrated skin, but had failed to get any further than the interlocking grid of metal that sat in place of Hookwolf’s muscle.
I’m gonna consider that a confirmation – it explains how he manages to look human in spite of being made of metal, too.
It also reminds me of this comic. (tw: drawings of blood, death)
He smiled. “I was hoping you wouldn’t answer. It means we get to interrogate you.”
Why do I feel like your definition of “interrogate” involves torture?
