Tweed burst into Octavia's room and staggered to a stop. He blinked and turned his head, taking in the chaos. Chairs had been overturned. Glasses smashed. Chocolates strewn across the carpet, and then trodden into the weave by heavy boots.

Tweed closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He heard Barnaby's voice in his head. Remove yourself from the equation. Take all emotion out of it. Think logically. Reason and deduce. Never feel and act. That was a big mistake. Feeling, and acting on those feelings, was a pathway to…well, to all sorts of terrible consequences, according to Barnaby.

Problem was, he was beyond all that now. His time with Octavia had made him realize just how wrong his father was. That taking emotion out of life wasn't a worthy goal. Unless you wanted to be a lonely old man who talked to himself and kept a collection of snails in the bathtub. (As Barnaby had once done.)

Sekhem and Nehi had been here. They had taken Octavia.
