Episode Eleven

Chapter One

Talon could not count the number of prisons he had been in across his life, most were a joke that only held him for moments at a time, some a bit longer, more so than not by his choice. It’s easier to learn shit about your enemy when they think you are conquered and your living days are numbered. All prisons, no matter their purpose, had a system that could be worked.

Talon wasted no time finding one in the one he was in. He’d marched around the perimeter twice over, and had taken note of where everyone was, along with all the new people he knew nothing about. The phoenixes were the easiest to reason with. Talon could not get River’s new boy toy to even look his way much less barter. Then another one showed, one they called Phoenix, he was a hard ass. But in the end, he and Talon saw eye to eye, and the flaming bird of an alpha found Judge and brought him back to Talon.

As far as Talon was concerned he was not breaking any rules. He hadn’t left the swamp, Judge had not left the swamp, done and done.

“What the fuck,” Judge said looking back into the darkness of the swamp, two seconds before a man was there, an extremely old being that didn’t care if Judge danced all around in his mind or not.

“It’s a shield or some shit,” Talon said.

Judge thumbed toward the emptiness. “Can he hear us?”

“I don’t know, and I don’t care.”

“Maybe you should, that dude is hooked up with the Queen of Grief, maybe soon to be queen. Either way, they dig grief and are in tight with the Reaper. Not good mojo for what we have going on.”

“What’s going on out there?” Talon asked trying to read Judge. It was harder than it should be, Judge was a bit in awe at the moment.

“A lot of nothing right now. Akan is close. I swear I can feel the fucker staring me down, or at least I could,” he said eyeing the unseen barrier once more. “Rush is with Talley. The dead are not doing much at all. They are all just kinda staring us down, waiting. It’s the waiting that is fucked up about it.”

A tinge of relief struck Talon when not one mention of what Reveca went through was in Judge’s run down.

“What the fuck happened to you?” Judge asked.

Talon met his eyes in a beat. He was sure he had blocked Judge, and himself for that matter, from seeing the gory details of what happened to Reveca. Judge’s stare was locked on his bloodstained hands.

“What did you see?” Talon asked.

The fog was thick, it was dark as hell, but he had counted on Judge seeing something from Saige’s side, counted on him helping Talon put the event into words the others would understand when Talon was able to look them all in the eye.

“What should I have seen?” Judge asked questioning himself as much as Talon.
