King Soren

Brielle jumps, startled by our sudden appearance. “Just an upset stomach,” she smiles, but even her smile seems strained and pained. “Did you find the bathroom?” She asks Max, and he nods, holding up his washed hands.

“Yes, but we should get going, I am sure that Brielle has things to do?” I tell him and Brielle, seeming to understand I want to leave, nods and leads us outside, and we say our goodbyes before leaving. As we drive away, I can’t stop thinking about Brielle and the scene we had just witnessed. It makes me angry that they have to live like this while people like us have all the money we could ever want or need. Once we’re home, I mindlink Damian.

“Damian, I need a favor. I want you to look into Brielle. See what you can find out about her. Something is off,” I tell him, the concern evident in my voice. “Certainly, exactly what is it you are hoping to find?” he asks curiously. “Anything really, hospital records, pack records. Just something to tell me more about her,” I tell him.

“This wouldn’t happen to be about mother, would it? I know she has been putting pressure on you, but a rogue, really Soren?”

“No, it’s not about her, but Max has taken a liking to her, I want to make sure he is safe around her,” I lie.
