Chapter 90

“What do you want?” asked a particularly surly man who seemed to be in charge.

He decided to just come out with it. “My name is Cillian Galang. You should know who I am. I’m here to kill the monster. Tell me where he is.”

The man’s eyes widened. “We’ve been looking for you.”

“Well, here I am. I killed the other two, and now I’m looking for Whalen.”

Slowly, the man approached them. He moved to touch the motorcycle, but Rapunzel let out something like a growl or hiss. For the purposes of this interaction, the Monk was his bodyguard.

“You should come with us.”

“No thanks. Just tell me where I can find the bastard.”

He put his hand on an automatic rifle. “I’ve been instructed to take you in.”

Rapunzel made an even louder noise and began muttering in the Monk language. Then, “Don’t try and stop us.”

“And who are you?”

“I’m delivering Cillian to the creature.”

“You didn’t answer my question.”

Rapunzel scoffed, but said nothing further.
