“So, let me get this straight...” I complain to Taishi as I follow him out of the saloon. “Even though he's doing something morally questionable... even though he's doing something that's totally against the law... we have to help him?”
“Absolutely,” Taishi answers with a weak nod. “Were you not paying attention during class, Riley-san? I'm sure Amber covered his topic. It's not our job to question the morals of our human charges. We must assist them no matter what. We let them make their own mistakes, and with any luck, they learn from them.”
And Jamie is clearly not learning anything. A few hours ago, he was almost swinging from the end of a rope. He's not even waiting twenty-four hours before jumping into his next crime.
“This is crazy, though. I don't want to rob someone!” I whine.
“Neither do I. Unfortunately, we have no choice. Jamie's wish is our command.”
“Uggggh!” I throw up my arms in frustration. “Can't we get him to change his mind?”
As Taishi shakes his head, Tilda emerges from the pub. I wanted to thank her, so I flag her over.
“Thanks for sharing all of your information with us!” I exclaim. “It was really helpful. It saved us a lot of time.”
“Sure.” Even though she's answering me, her eyes are on Taishi. My handsome instructor seems to be a magnet for the eyes of female spirits.
“Will you be coming with us tomorrow?” I ask. “Will you be going to the, uh... robbery.” I can barely get the word out. Robbery. I can't believe I'm supposed to facilitate a crime.
“No. Unfortunately, I have another charge who requires my attention tomorrow,” Tilda says. Finally, she drags her gaze away from Taishi.
“You can have more than one charge at the same time?”
“Of course, sweetie.” When Tilda chuckles, it makes her sweetie sound a little condescending. “If you aren't an instructor or a student, you're allowed to take on two, three... sometimes even five charges at once. I've got three charges.” Her eyes drift back to Taishi's stoic face. “Anyway, if Taishi Nakamura will be there, I'll be leaving Esteban in good hands.”
Taishi gives her a nod, silently thanking her for the compliment. I didn't realize she knew who he was.
Maybe he's more famous than I realize?
