I could tell the Guild Master wanted to keep me in the Guild.
I could also see that if I told him, he'd hold the news back and keep me free.
But there was no need for that.
The dark SUV inevitably came.
Two agents stood beside it, both wearing dark suits and sunglasses. One held an umbrella, while the other looked towards me as I approached.
I stopped in front of them.
Then I looked from one to the other.
"Mr. Thorne?"
"That's me."
"Are you ready?"
"Just a moment."
I reached into my pocket and took out my sunglasses.
Neither moved as I put them on.
A small chuckle escaped my lips.
"We're the same now."
"….."
They didn't laugh.
One of them opened the rear door.
"This way."
