Sofia Morales-North called to her husband, her voice weakened by an unaccustomed tremble.

He hurried up the stairs and burst in through the bathroom door, finding her fallen beside the porcelain tub, her nose leaking on the tasteful earthen tile. He gathered her in his arms, casually ignoring the blood staining his Saville Row bespoke shirt as he carried her carefully into the bedroom.

“Sophie, are you ill?” Henry North laid her carefully atop the bed. “What has happened? Are you…?”

“I’m well, love.” Sofia put a hand gently to his chest as he laid beside her on the white cotton comforter. “A passing spell. A vision.”

Her husband studied her with obvious concern.

“Shall I call for the doctor?”

“No need,” she said, attempting a smile. “I already feel much better.”

Henry North hesitated, torn between marital and Cartel obligation.

“You said a vision,” he said reluctantly. “Something bad?”

“Not necessarily,” Sofia said, pulling him down on the bed beside her, and then curling up within his arms. “Something…familiar, though it has been a long time.”

She explained as best she could, and then, not long after, drifted off to sleep. Lord North held his wife while she slept, issuing telepathic instructions to his lieutenants and weighing options. The strange flutter he felt in his chest was eagerness, Lord North assured himself, and not at all trepidation.
