Chapter six

Willum was troubled. Rather, he feared he was possibly in trouble. Maybe having a meltdown or genetic problems that were affecting his mind. Only holding his thoughts totally still allowed him to get through the actions with the local guard. The police.

The men did take the reporter away, with Cindy laughing, if only after they left the building.

“Well, that won’t do much, will it? The arrest. Right now… I think that our problems with that particular hate monger are about over. Even making a claim of Infected powers being used to force his confession he’s sunk. I mean, the women really exist. True, grabbing a bit of ass on occasion shouldn’t really ruin him for life, but it will, right now.”

She seemed more or less happy with that.

Willum, however, couldn’t love the idea. The man was, more or less, innocent. Even if he’d flirted with inappropriate women, that shouldn’t have him destroyed in the eyes of the public there. Except that it seemed the rules allowed for that. A thing Will hadn’t really realized before that moment. No one had ever mentioned it to him before.

Then, no one there did that kind of thing, day to day, either. They were free enough about dating and sex, certainly. In his time there no one had abused him that way however, feeling his body without permission. It had happened in Noram, on occasion.

Cin, her eyes moving back and forth, clearly reading something, winked at him.

“That isn’t perfectly true. Bridget does that kind of thing all the time. She still grabs my behind half the time when we meet. She isn’t even into me, so go figure on that part. The same is true with you, you just don’t whine about it. It really is pretty much just normal. People touch other people all the time. Even I get that one.” She put her hand on his shoulder, and squeezed a bit.

“But, the crazies have made a world where accusations are enough to convict in the court of public opinion, so we might as well use it.”

Willum snorted a bit.

“That isn’t exactly justice, is it? Not that the world runs on that. None that I’ve been in for long at least. Humanity is…” There was a thunk, which when he turned around was Marcia Turner. Her hand had tapped the doorframe of her office. The armor under her skin had hardened on contact, making it sound like a rock had hit the wood there.

When he turned, she took a deep breath.

“Well, this has been a fun day already. Then, no explosions so far, so it can’t be all bad. Anyway, Will, I wasn’t expecting you any time soon. Can we help you with something?”

That got him to nod. It took work though, since everything was kind of grating on his nerves at the moment.

“I’m on holiday. Vacation? I brought some things for all of you first. That magical gear that Taman assigned me to make for you? It’s in Cindy’s office.” He waved in that direction, as if she might not know where that was.
