Walker: Have a seat, Jany. I have an assignment for you.
Jany (thinking): That was the guy Bianca and Sparrow sent, right? I don’t understand why, if he was just going to lose . . .
Jany: Yes’m.
(SNAP)
Walker: I’ll cut to the chase. Mr. Mattei explained me, very earnestly . . . that the world is not about to end.
Jany: Wait, what?
(GLOW)
Walker: Is he perhaps a friend of yours?
Jany: No! I didn’t — I’ve never even met him! . . . what did he say? Was he right?
Walker: Oh, no. For all his conviction, he didn’t have a thing. But I’d like some stronger assurance that you’re not out sharing my findings with . . . unnecessary people.
Blake will supervise. And if you run into difficulty, he can help.
Blake: Shiny.
Walker: Have Kara Lynn bring me the Cat.
That doesn’t look like the usual sort of glyph? Has Walker figured out a different sort of quote-unquote magic?
If you are talking about Blake’s, that his own seal. Creature seals are different from “magic” seals.
Jany, it looks like it’s decision time: run away, stick with Ann, switch sides or continue being a double-agent.
Idea for next story twist: Sparrow figures out how to teleport creatures back to their Master. Faster than kidnapping and would allow to pull Beings out under Ann’s nose without Jany being a suspect.
Oh boy.
