While the performances seemed to be keying down, the crowd was still very much focused on the musicians, and their host, though people didn't apprear to be drifting that way more than usual.
A woman slipped into their mix and carted off his target with a grin on his face. But whatever she said left him frowning and rushing her out the door. Damn! Now it would be more difficult to follow. But that was what Jerry did. He waited a short while and then slipped out the door they'd exited and caught sight of them walking away in silence. It would be hard to listen and walk, but Jerry pulled out his own long range listening device and sent it after the boy and his companion.
Surprise jolted Jerry to a stop as Nox divulged the name of a monster. One of ancient lore, but also one that hadn't been seen in centuries. Another mystery to solve - later. But was was worse he was talking to a civilian about it.
They sat down in a dinner and Jerry had no choice but to go inside, the boy was paranoid and sat well away from the windows. Did he know he was being followed?
The question didn't stop Jerry as he stepped inside the diner with his back to the traitor so recognition was minimized. And ordered a breakfast platter when the waitress arrived. It was harder to direct the listening device when he couldn't see, but eventually he found the correct location and filled in on even more private information than he'd expected. Who was this friend? And the Ascendancy was attacked by one? Too many questions, so few answers.
