No Sorrow Like Separation (The Commander book 5)
““Hunter Activity Near Chicago and Media Responses”
Gilgamesh: July 20, 1968 Gilgamesh fought nerves, panic, fear and half a dozen Crow-ish worrisome emotions he didn’t even have names for. Sky echoed him, a mile distant, from his position atop a recently constructed medical professional building. Luckily Hephaestus, haunting the park-like grounds of Rice University with his students, treated this adventure as purely business, and his steadiness buoyed the other Crows who hid and watched.... Despite his wonderful piece of dross art based on Lori, he hadn’t forged a true emotional connection with the Focus.
The connection with Lori was why he and Sky had the super-willies. Lori was here with fifteen of her best combatant household members (twelve Transforms, three normals), pregnant, pissed at life because one of the ruling first Focuses had exposed six of her household members as Transforms and cost Inferno four more jobs, and staggering under the weight of the political machinations she and Focus Ackerman were arranging for the Rogue Focus job. He ached to go comfort Lori, as did Sky, but duty called. The Focus contingent and their people were not supposed to be here in Houston long enough to attract attention. Tiamat called them ‘blocking forces’ and ‘emergency reserves’, although the two Focuses were responsible for an important piece of Tiamat’s attack: their job was to convince the two Transform Clinic Focuses and their Transforms to stay in the Transform Clinic.MoreLess
