Chapter 35: Plans of the Insane
âIâve thought about it,â Zundy said, cutting into whatever conversation was going on between the three of them.
Veeâs face was a bit flushed, and Sig looked as though he were ready to attack, the balled-up string clutched in his hand. The Widow still sat where she was, looking smug and self-assured.
Looks like I got up just in time, Zundy thought, noticing the notched candle burning on the nightstand next to The Widowâs bed. It showed him that heâd been thinking for quite a while.
Time didnât really have much meaning in his inner world, and he could spend hours in there and have it only feel like minutes. He cleared his throat, feeling suddenly embarrassed at having left them to bicker for a full thirty minutes, before addressing Sig.
âYou shouldnât have kept your âwantedâ status a secret, as it endangers not only you but the entire group. That said, I stand by what I said when we met. I want to become the Chief of Chiefs and have you along for that journey. Youâre a capable fighter and are knowledgeable of the surrounding area.â
Sig relaxed somewhat, allowing his fists to uncurl, and placed his weapon back in his pocket.
âIâll go along with your decision because I agreed to follow you,â Vee said. âBut are you sure about this?â
Zundy nodded, grateful that Vee wasnât going to argue with him. He then turned his gaze on The Widow, who had a look of mild disappointment on her face.
âNow for you,â Zundy said, âyou must have known Sig was unlikely to join up with you, so you must have had a backup plan or some other way for us to be of use to you. So, letâs hear it.â
âAll these clever boys and not one of them wants to join me in my crusade,â The Widow muttered loudly enough that everyone could hear.
âFine then,â she said. âI didnât expect the elf to join me, though I did have to give it a try, and you are quite astute in guessing that I have other plans for you.â
Now that Sig knew he was no longer in danger of being ousted from their small crew, he moved farther into the room, standing closer to both Zundy and Vee.
âAnd what if we donât want to be a part of whatever youâre planning?â Zundy asked, still staying calm and collected.
Antagonizing a woman like this would not be a wise course of action. He didnât yet know how dangerous one had to be for the army to add them to their wanted list and issue a Threat Level, but he was pretty sure that none of them would stand a chance of even touching The Widow.
âNothing,â The Widow said with a shrug.
âWell, then, weâll just be on our way,â Sig said, already turning to leave.
âBut I figured youâd want to at least hear me out. Seeing as I saved your lives and all,â she continued.
Zundy debated leaving for just a few moments. By now,
