The boys were all busy with whatever it was they were doing. Even Ivan was working with them now. He was certain the young officer didn't know what he was getting himself involved in. He just didn't understand. But it was his life. He could take stupid risks.

Dorian knew his life was in danger. He knew Ana and Christian were in danger and even his parents. While Dorian was in the house he'd made a phone call to beef up his father's security. They would be safe as he could make them for any Atharim attacks. They were human, they would be safe if they could keep the Atharim from them.

Ana's parents were a little more difficult to protect, but Dorian did his best. Now that he was outside he wasn't so sure they all didn't need someone like Nox protecting them. The boy knew first hand what it was to be the hunter. And he knew how dangerous the Atharim were. Dorian understood, but he only cleaned up their messes. Never actually seeing the underside of their jobs.

But the new weave Nox had done went off in one direction, even technology wasn't that far advanced. Ivan was right, this was a game changer. But Dorian saw Alex a bit too late to warn her and she was standing in Nox's line of fire when it went off. He had tried to be careful, aiming away from everyone here. Only to hit an innocent bystander.

The rookie was at her side in moments. Where had all these people come from and why were they here? Those were Dorian's first questions.

But Ivan was there first with Alex and Calvin and the diminutive woman seemed fine. Disoriented and shouting over the ringing in her ears much like Cruz and Nox had been.

By the time he and Nox... he looked back to see the boy petting his dog several feet back as Alex began dressing Dorian down. He gave her a level glance. "What I do in my off time is of no consequence to the Captain."


Alex countered. "You are harboring one of them."
Her finger thrust in Alex's direction. "Your son is one of these channelers. You have bombs going off outside your perimeter. How is this not a concern of the Captain?"


Dorian sighed and rolled up his sleeve. "I'm not harboring one of them, Dr. Pirozzi. I am one of them."


Her eyes went wide and she did a double take, first to Cruz then back to the tattoo and then back at Dorian's only son. She was clearly distraught with confusion.

But it was her knowledge of a secret that only the two men here knew about his son that had him questioning, "How do you know about Cruz?"
