The rule was to call Coil at a time like this. To let him know what had happened.
Of course. But will you follow the rules?
At this point, I have a feeling she won’t.
She found her phone in one of her jacket pockets and she fumbled with the keypad to find him in her contacts. Her finger hovered over the button.
But it comes down to this moment.
What was she holding on to? Who was she protecting? Her friends? Were they really her friends? It wasn’t that she wanted to betray them, she wasn’t about to repeat that mistake, but…
But is this really a betrayal in the same way?
She couldn’t articulate the thought, but it was Taylor’s face that flashed into her mind’s eye when she put the phone away.
Oof.
Wait, that wasn’t the end of chapter line either?
So because of Taylor… Rachel has decided at least to give Siberian’s offer some time.
I’m down for this storyline. 🙂
Maybe she would see what this test was about. She wasn’t about to back down. But in the end, she‘d make the call about where she went and what she did.
Yeah… maybe.
Though I guess Siberian would support her on that, no matter how much she personally wants Rachel to join.
“You,” she told the man with the gouges in his face, “Go to a doctor. Take anyone here that needs it. But I don’t want you telling Coil, I don’t want you using his doctors. Got it?’
Not being very subtle about your decision to actively keep secrets from Coil, huh? Better hope you can trust these people to be more loyal to you than to Coil.
I’m not sure you can.
