For this third go around, the healing was more straightforward. The woman hadn't been hurt too badly. Now that he knew what he was looking at it, things fell more into place. Or maybe because it was simpler. Either way, he was kinda optimistic that he understood it pretty well. Oh, he'd have to think about it it, work it out in his mind. It wasn't gonna be like the Pastor and it being instinctual. But he had a mechanical mind and liked puzzles. The memory of that bike starting up after weeks of tinkering brought a smile to his face.
And then it was all over. Ascendancy left. He looked at the Sigma but the man seemed lost in thought. He could understand that. The looks he shot the Pastor, though....Ivan narrowed his eyes. There was a hunger there. Ivan make sure he stayed with the man as long as possible. It wasn't that he didn't trust the Sigma. Well ok. He didn't trust him. The man gave off...something. Like here he was all kind and friendly. But in the square with Oakland, he had radiated arrogance. So which was the real Sigma? And which was the act?
He went to the Pastor. "You did great, Mr. James."
He looked at the woman and the tear on her cheek. "God was working through you."
There were questions he had, of course. But it would have to be later. She and the Pastor would be headed to the Kremlin. And Ivan supposed he'd better see the Cap at Domovoi. The Sigma would be at the Kremlin too. Hmm....
He took his wallet and sent his contact to the Pastor. "If you need anything or want to talk, this is me."
As for the woman, he wasn't sure they'd meet again. Probably. Not that he was high up on the totem poll, though. And she being Atharim- former Atharim- she was probably going to be wrung out for information.
Well, he had an Atharim he worked with already. And it was time to see what was going on. He doubted things had gotten any better. The three miracles he saw today probably used up all the luck for the next few days.
