She wasn't wrong. But she wasn't right either. Vega might be Atharim. But he was a cop too. And at least part of what he saw said they might be similar.
Part, anyway. Course why was he defending them? That, he didn't know. Anyway, no sense in arguing that.
The other tho... "Times are changing, Alex. I've seen things. Terrible things. And you just saw it. Channelers are living weapons. Registration is a good first step. Nox registered. Look at it this way. He's a gun owner who fires his weapon protecting people. We question him, we take him in, we interview, we get forensics. Absent any proof to the contrary, we just hold him? I know the law says we can do it but....heres the thing. We cant disarm him. Not in any meaningful way, not without keeping him sedated. Hes stronger than me. A lot. Im sposed to be the big bad on Domovoi....and Im a joke. Im working on it. And im gonna sign up for classes...now that theres the new consulate."
He shrugged. Not the best answer. "What were our options. No one was getting through tje barrier he made. I had to defuse the situation. And id hoped he could help."
That was what really pissed him off.
But her? He knew part of her story. His voice was mild and eyes soft. "They got your family, didnt they. You mentioned losing them. I am sorry Alex."
Hell, hed feel the same. How could he expect her to change. He wouldnt. Yeah, he had been a fool.
