Well shit.
He didn't have to see the screen to know things weren't right. The look on her face was enough for him to know it was bad. It took him a moment to notice Abrams lying dead on the floor.
Reed might have been a bitch, but any woman with an emergency flask was worthy of Nicholas Trano's respect. Still, there wasn't much talking between the two of them until she had their driver headed for a safe house in Zamoskvoreche.
Once the car was moving again, she slid close to him. "Let's cut the bullshit, Trano." He could tell whatever was in the emergency flask wasn't nearly strong enough--or she was a mean drunk.
"Either we're blown or you fucked something up. Custody agents, Trano!" If it weren't Reed, he'd have said she was terrified. "There has to be something else that you're not telling me."
Great. Back to explaining that I'm a wizard.
That was still a conversation he wasn't interested in having, so he looked for an alternate route--and found one.
"You already know everything I do."
Lying was only bad if you got caught. "Besides, it didn't even take us ten minutes to get back to the hotel. They didn't kill Abrams because of me. They must have been on to you--us--for a while."
He paused for a second to let that sink in.
"So is there something you're not telling me?"
