Slaten was somber as he stood next to Ridge who seemed preoccupied.
“I can hear you, Ridge. I want you to know that I appreciate what you are trying to do here for everyone. You really are selfless. I just can’t stop my mind from going to my mother who I know can’t hear my thoughts, however hard I try. Everything from here to the realm seems blocked.”
“I hope Aiden is okay. Talon isn’t who I thought he would be here as the fallen. Warrick had us all convinced that the guides who he has pushed out over the years would be bad and turn like the demons. If Talon represents the rest, then Warrick has really been lying to us all. What I can’t get over is how some of us have been so blind to it all.” Ridge questioned himself.
“Hey, at least he isn’t your father. Look at me. Everyone will say I am guilty by association.”
“No, that isn’t the way of it. We will get this figured out,” Ridge said.
