I found another cluster of people on the top floor. Three adult women and two children that ranged from toddler age to five feet or so of height. Damn it, why did there always have to be kids?
Kids are everywhere!
“I can’t find Grue.”
“He’s in there,” Tattletale said.
“How sure are you?”
“Pretty darn sure.”
Good to know.
“Then how long before we can move on to the next phase?” I asked. “I found some people, which solves one problem.”
Hm? How so?
“As soon as the Nine act,” Trickster said. “Tattletale?”
“They’re not wanting to move. Something about the hostages.”
Are they perhaps already in hiding, from Parian??
Or maybe they need the hostages for something? I suppose there’s a reason they’re still alive.
“Hookwolf doesn’t care about hostages,” I told her.
“I know! But the Nine are still holding back.”
I suppose it would be possible for them to be holding back because they think the hostages will prevent the attack, but why did they take the hostages in the first place?
