The compartment of armor at my back buzzed, and I reached back to retrieve my cell phone. It was Grue:
can I come by?
Oh hey! Sorry, Taylor’s a little busy at the moment.
So is that just a social call or more important stuff?
I quickly replied:
On errand. Don’t come to my place. Meet me at Bayview and Clover. Not too far from our old place.
This seems like a nice compromise.
It was only a moment before I got a reply:
got it. am already otw. close.
So was he already out and went “hey, why don’t I visit Taylor on the way”, or was he already on his way to Taylor’s when he remembered that he should probably ask first?
So he was already on the way when he called? I wasn’t sure what to think about that. It suggested it was a social call with the assumption I would be okay with it, which I didn’t mind, but that didn’t really fit his personality.
Yeah, exactly.
I’m glad to see Taylor too give that some more thought, because it suggests I was onto something.
I suspect that something is Brian wanting to warn her about the Slaughterhouse Nine face to face.
More likely there was something that he wanted to discuss with me in person.
Yeah, sounds about right.
