The feeds in his own contacts weren't as good quality as he'd have liked but the girl with no name and Kali went off-script. Fucking Civilians! She found the boy god. He was carrying a potted plant accompanied by another holding his hand. The girl met them and Durante took up a defensive stance. There had been no mention of a missing arm in any report. The reason he was in the hospital? No Atharim. But how? Why? There were many questions to be answered.
And many more that kept coming in. On his walk to the side entrance, a message from a field scientist caught his attention. She wanted a live specimen and Durante alive. What could she be up to? There had been a few strange reports but he'd dismissed them upon first glance as they held no interest short of potential reagents, but at the moment he wasn't doing anything - he was hunting traitors, and with the Ascendancy's announcement and their so-called registration there were many to find and kill before they revealed secrets - this boy was just one of many.
But Jer's attention was needed on the situation at hand. He had intended to wait outside in case he tried to escape, but things could go sideways quickly. Jer opened the door and stepped into the cool sterile air and prayed to God that the god didn't try to kill people. Jer had his sidearm but he didn't want to pull it in a hospital.
