Interlude II (Post 'The Return')
Delsin was in a full-blown panic attack on his way to the docks. That damned bitch just loved hurting people, didn't she? Encasing Hank in stone, the Akomish, the hundreds of Conduits in Curdun Cay undergoing who knows what, and now, capturing Fetch and Eugene! What the hell had they done to her? And what would she do to them? No. No, it was time to finish the bitch. He clenched and unclenched his hands and concentrated on breathing. Even Reggie wouldn't help. But fine. It's fine. He'd bring the whole thing down himself if he had to.
His mind went into overdrive, imagining what could happen. 'And what if she killed them? What if she killed Eugene? The kid was only just starting to realize his potential, as a Conduit, but way more importantly, as a human. How could she? And Fetch? Oh. God. No. Nope. Nopenopenopenopenopenopenope. Nope. Fuckin' nope. Not happening.'
"The docks are too far away! They could be right here, and you know what? It'd still be too far!" He yelled to no one.
Running up the side of the building, he leapt off, landing on the next. The docks were only on the other side of the district, but that seemed like it might as well have been in Boston.
By the time he reached them, he was about ready to tear the entire city apart, followed closely by himself. Until he saw Reggie. Then he felt like Augustine didn't stand a chance in Hell. And a bit like his brother was the greatest guy in the entire world. Nothing would stop them.
