The train ride didn't help Aria calm down any. Her anger rose but her sense came back to her. The world began to make sense again. And the nagging feeling that she had forgotten something reminded her to text Nox. She sent him a quick message. "Back in Moscow. See you soon." She should have sent that hours ago, when she was first released, but she'd gone straight to see Lucas and shit hit the fan and she lost all sense of time. Both would be worried.
And she really didn't have any explanation for Borovsky except that she'd found a way into his confidences. Granted it was a matter of playing both sides now. Who was she loyal to? But the thought slide on out the outside of the bubble as she pulled herself through her misery. Everything was automatic now, she got off the train, walked to the warehouse and used her key to open the door.
Nox sat on the floor with his wallet in hollow mode staring at a picture of a man. Another person was with him and it took her a few moments to realize it was Connor. The man she'd met long ago hunting an Ijiraq and whom she tortured with lust. This was so not what she needed.
Before Aria even had the door closed a small dog came yapping around the corner and barking at her. Nox felt worried and anxious and his fury was tightly locked in a cage. Aria looked at him, their feelings mirroring one another. Did he know?
Nox finally looked up when the dog started barking and they stared at one another. Aria spoke in the quiet distant voice of the bubble of no emotions, "Lucas is dead."
It came out a mere whisper and the tears started flowing silently again. Lucas was gone.
