I rephrased, “Shatterbird and Cherish have been captured. We will deliver Cherish to you if you wish. We are done interrogating her.”
“Please take her? She’s driving us insane with her babble. Seriously, if you don’t, we’re literally just gonna put her out on the sea tied to a bouy.”
“Interrogation. You mean torture, don’t you?” Legend asked from where he stood in the doorway.
I take it he’s heard Shadow Stalker’s perspective.
“No.”
“Why?” Miss Militia asked. “Why the offer?”
She’s a sharp one.
“You can put her in secure custody, and we need your help.“
“For?”
“The Nine have captured Grue. We mounted one successful attack this morning, we got two of theirs for one of ours. They will be ready for a rescue attempt. They know our powers. Help us attack. Help us catch them off guard a second time and stop them for good.“
Taylor’s getting better at her pitches, with that last sentence. That’s gotta be at least somewhat tempting, if the Protectorate (more importantly, Legend) is willing to believe they can do this.
