Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 602

Orson stood off to the side, waiting for Rupert to give further instructions.

Rupert didn't say a word. He reached into his coat, searching for his lighter, but after rummaging around for a while, he couldn't find it.

Without a word, Orson pulled his own lighter from his pocket and flicked it, lighting Rupert's cigarette for him.

Rupert took a deep drag, his face brooding and silent, the ember at his fingertips trembling slightly.

He stood like that for a long moment before, through the haze of smoke, he finally spoke. "Go on."

"Yes, sir."

Orson shot him a worried glance before heading off to find Chris.

It was noisy on the other end, and Chris had to practically shout to be heard not exactly the best way to have a conversation.

"I'll come find you," Orson said, and hung up.

He stepped outside just as the sky, which had been bright and sunny that morning, erupted into a torrential downpour.

Orson frowned and was about to make a run for it when a car pulled up beside him.

"Hey, Orson!"
