บท 595: In the Shadow of Fear - Part 6

RETH

Reth told the members of the Security Council that were still present that the council would convene at his cave the following morning.

Under the circumstances, he'd decided he would not leave Elia alone unless the need was dire. The temptation, when he left the Security Building, was to simply run home to Elia, there and then. But he knew Lerrin needed to be prepared, and his injuries tended. If it became obviously Elia would be able to shift soon, he had to get Lerrin out of the City.

He needed to find Suhle and warn her.

The skin of the back of his neck tightened as he turned away from the trail home, and towards the Prison trees instead, but he had to find Suhle and get the information to her without anyone overhearing. And he would not leave the cave tomorrow if it could be helped.
