Garrett, we do not roam the streets assaulting people. ” “The other day a veteran, who’d done five five-year hitches, three in the Cantard, was almost beaten to death right outside. He’d won eight decorations, including the Imperial Star with Swords and Oak Leaves. In one battle he lost half of his left arm and most of that side of his face in a blast from a witch ward. He’s in the Bledsoe now. He probably won’t get out alive. Those butchers won’t pay any attention to him. He doesn’t have any money.
He has friends in high places who are real friends simply because he is the kind of man he is. Block would take an extra step to protect him. Relway, being what he is, might take a few steps more if The Call was involved. “Maybe that’s all I really need to do. Get the Guard on the case. ” There is more going on. ” Because you are, at last, becoming somewhat adept at reading people—though not yet at a conscious level. At that same shadow level both Miss Weider and Miss Nicholas fear that Ty Weider was not the recipient of the threat but its source.
He was so startled he could hardly squawk in parrotese. He got his feet under him, shook his head, took a tentative step, fell off the shelf, and smacked into the floor. If that thing fails to survive please extend my deepest condolences to Mr. Dotes. “Wow! What a great idea! Why didn’t I think of it before? I’m slow but I’m brilliant. I’ll tear him apart in here and blame it all on you. I’ll have Morley come over, see all the feathers and parrot shit, he’ll just shake his head and forget it. ” Very creative.
