I found him in the contact list and made the call.
“Speaker phone?” Grue suggested.
Does Taylor trust you enough for that? Do you trust Taylor enough to let her talk to Coil without speaker?
I nodded, selected the option and hit the button.
As the first ring sounded out, my swarm sense alerted me to the bound woman breaking free of the silk strands, as if it was effortless.
Interesting. I guess she figured it was in her best interests to stay down.
I don’t think it’s Spitfire anymore. Spitfire would probably get out by making the silk shrivel, which would also kill the bugs. Whoever this is, she’s getting out through strength. Was I right that it’s Victoria? Although then we’d probably hear something about her state. Maybe it’s Alexandria?
Had she been playing possum after all, hoping we would get close?
Maybe.
I looked at Tattletale, trying to see if had any inkling that this supposed member of the Nine was free.
Yeah, no, she kinda needs something to go off.
Nothing. Tattletale turned to me and grinned.
“No trouble incoming?” I asked, as the phone rang again.
None at all.
She shook her head. “All good.”
Was her power not working as well as she’d thought? I couldn’t even recollect what it was, but she’d said she would keep an eye out… and there was something alarming occurring this very moment.
To be fair, she said she’d keep an eye out for the woman following them.
