Seeing them gave me pause.
Are you thinking about the rules, worrying that they might break them?
As Miss Militia stepped outside, I pulled on the headphones, and Trickster did the same.
“Skitter?” Miss Militia asked.
Yep, that is totally her standing there in the lobby. All mammalian and everything.
“Something like that,” I replied using my swarm. “I wanted to talk.“
“Given what happened the last time you were here, I’m not sure we’re on speaking terms.”
Oh yeah, they did kinda break in and steal important data, as well as take over the body of one of their members and scare her out of town by making it almost kill her. That’s a thing that happened.
“We have two of the Slaughterhouse Nine in custody. We are prepared to turn one over into your custody.”
Now that ought to cause some raised eyebrows.
“What? I didn’t hear that.”
Damn. It sounded natural in my head, as I got them to make the noise, but I wasn’t quite there yet.
Well, when Taylor gets the point through, anyway.
Maybe it would have been better to just pass a phone to her. I’d gone this route for the dramatic touch, and because I hadn’t wanted them to trace us.
But the dramatic touch is awesome.
