There was a sound from Dragon. In a tone that was afflicted with agonizing disappointment, like a mother who had just found out her son had been arrested for a felony, she said, “Oh, Colin.”
Relatable.
I mean, I’m not a mother, but Colin does sometimes bring out that feeling.
Colin didn’t speak. He waited for elaboration.
“The PRT got a tip from one of the villain teams. The Slaughterhouse Nine is in town.”
Uh.
Yeah?
One of them is literally right in front of Colin, I think he’d have figured that out by now, unless it’s news to him that Mannequin joined them.
Has Dragon figured out that Mannequin is here to recruit?
Also, I guess the Wards’ speculation wasn’t enough. That’s fair, I suppose, they did base it only on the number and brutality of the murders they found.
