Just Voicing My Thoughts

Blackjack had left the office with his message delivered and had even given Kai his phone number, so there was now a more direct and convenient way to contact him.

Although it seemed minor, the visit had helped Kai figure something out. There was someone in Slough, someone connected to the settlement in some way, who was watching them at all times. Otherwise, they would have never been able to get that message out there so quickly.

Inside the office, though, Kai wasn’t alone. He had called for Marie, Olivia, as well as Midwak, to come into the room and talk about the situation and what he had just learned.

“Why are you not telling Gary any of this?” Marie asked. “Or even talking to the others about the situation?”

“There’s no harm in keeping them from worrying too early,” Kai replied. “And I will tell Gary. I just know he’s working on something important right now. He’s doing his part, he always has been, and we saw that clearly with Unzoku.”
