“He will. What’s up?”
“I want to borrow him and pay Boone a visit. Cat’s brother. You realize he was one of our wounded from the Noctambule war?”
“Holy shit, I didn’t realize, no. How is he?”
He shook his head. “From what I gather, not so good.”
“What’s his disability, you know?”
“Paralyzed from the waist down.”
“What are you thinking.”
“I’m thinking to check on him and see what I can do.”
“He’s in same Hatch as her, I take it.”
“Bullets’ yeah. Need to talk to him too, see what he knows.”
“And Patches. He’d know something too.”
“Good thinking. I got data drops by the way.”
“On what?”
“Curly Larry and Mo. The triple demons.”
“It’s late for word puzzles, Mon Frier.”
“Noctambule, Holy Order and Five Runes.”
“Ah. Triple Demons. Noted. Tell me something good.”
“As you know, Seer, Maggie and his father interrogated him, and I ran down some of his claims.”
“Which ones?”
“He said they’re not after just any flesh in these swamps, they’re looking for two particular women.”
“MonfuckingDieu.”
“He wasn’t sure, but it has to be your Belle Eveque and Maggie.”
“What makes you think this?”
“Bart said something that got me thinking.”
“Bart my brother?”
“Oh yeah, he’s been wrapping wires left and right on this one. Remember when we wondered if their abductions were connected? Well, he found links to quite a few of his properties tied to Noctambule. Our informant said to look in political high places for the ties. Well, remember the Senator who helped find Maggie?”
“Oui.”
“He thinks that’s where the blackmail began. It wasn’t Maggie they wanted, it was what he had, properties to hide their crimes. When he refused, they took Maggie and blackmailed him. Here’s where the wires cross. Somewhere between them taking his daughter and him getting her back, they discovered Maggie’s gifts. But somebody on the inside protected her. A woman in the coven. Another one of their gifted.”
“Protected her from what? Why?”
“From using her the informant said. Or assumed.”
