“Aster, sir?”
“And you say you’re nothing like your father. You’re sharp, little boy.” Theo couldn’t see Jack move, but again, the man’s shadow fell over him.
Probably not as sharp as Jack’s knife, but that’d probably be a tall order.
He felt himself shrink down, as if the shadow weighed on him.
Literally overshadowing someone can be quite intimidating.
“Thank you, sir,” he managed.
“Yes. See, my compatriots are all busy with a task, tonight, you understand. I bet on the wrong horse. Come.”
…so wait.
He came for Purity. And just decided Theo was a better choice?
Does Theo even have powers?
Jack’s hand fell on Theo’s shoulder, and he flinched. Still, he scooped Aster up and followed as Jack led him to the front of the apartment. There was a trail of blood leading from the front door to the nearby bathroom.
…what did you do.
Jack gave Theo a push on the shoulder, but remained outside the bathroom, where he could watch the front door. Theo entered.
Did.
Did Jack kill Kayden before any of this, deeming her unworthy because he could? But then why would he stick around?
There was a man in the bathtub. He’d seen Jack drag the man inside, had heard the taps running.
Ahh. Opposition on the way in, I guess.
What he hadn’t expected was for the man to be alive.
Oh wow.
