Sundancer cut in, “Which makes me wonder… Sorry if this is a crummy idea, but what if we waited for Jack’s turn, and then tried to kill him?”
It’s risky, letting the time pass like that, but it does make sense that he’d be putting himself out there a lot more.
“No guarantees there,” Brian answered her. “I think we’ll have to be proactive in going after him. Maybe we can use Hookwolf’s distraction, maybe he’ll get cocky and make a mistake.”
Certainly possible.
“Doubt it,” Tattletale said, “He’s lasted years doing what he does.”
But this is a fair point. He clearly knows what he’s doing.
I couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
“Besides, he goes last,” Tattletale finished.
Was that mentioned before? Either way, I’m not surprised.
“To get back to what you were saying, you were proposing dividing the teams?” Coil spoke.
Yeah, though I’m not entirely sure why.
“Yeah,” Brian said. “Bitch has offensive power of her own. Skitter does too. If there’s no complaints, we could play this largely geographically. Maybe me, Imp, Bitch and Skitter? If you guys can put your differences aside?”
Oh no.
This can’t end well, especially once Skitter finds out that Bitch is embracing the candidacy.
Also who’s Imp?
…Is she here? Taylor didn’t mention her, but that’s standard fare by now. I actually really like that treatment, because it makes it super easy for the reader to forget about her too.
Then again, I suppose she didn’t specifically mention Regent either when she came in.
