章節 18: The beginning of everything.

Brian and I went to his house. It was going to be a busy summer. They were going to send us to Virginia. They thought if we went summer to summer we could have the course of instruction in seven years, which was too late for them.

Virginia.

I didn't like the idea of going to Virginia at all. It made me want to throw up just thinking about it. I had trained enough my whole life, I didn't want others telling me how to do it or how not to do it. What reassured me was having a free hand to an arsenal of weapons that with the help of Kevin, who would be set up with the others in a hotel on the outskirts of the city, we could modify and sell or maybe use for our own purposes. Maybe a little thievery to kill some free time. Maybe Hypatia and Lydia would end up selling some artwork while trying to find out about the *Great Book of Secrets*.
