Valdis growled again, I'm sorry I didn't think to stop and ask him his name before the hunt took over and the anguished voices of every life in the city decided to scream in my head.
She stirred, finally uncurling, her limbs stiff as if they hadn't been used in awhile.
If Devin hadn't taken me out of the city, if he hadn't put me to sleep for the duration of the storm, I'd probably have torn myself, and anyone who came near me, apart.
Valdis couldn't read his mind, only his emotions and surface instincts, far less than she was comfortable with. She sensed he was torn between relief that more life hadn't been lost, and sorrow that even one person had died. She didn't blame him.
I...I hope to find out, I know I can. I have enough clearance to get his name, I should find his family and apologize for not saving him.
Not for killing him, that would create more problems than it would fix, but she could find a way to help them, somehow.
