“We’re leaving her?” Tattletale asked.
“Seems we have to. Tattletale, can you use your power to make sure the lady from the Nine doesn’t pose a danger?”
Yeah, he’s just being super passive aggressive now.
Tattletale nodded, smiling.
“Then let’s hurry. We wasted too much time here.”
Fucking hell, this was A Scene™.
