but it’s a pity you don’t look behind you. Be careful of what you tell your Kane.” He paused to look around, and lowered the tempo of his voice. “Is he around?”
Judas fixed a pair of red eyes on the long corridor. “He is, but he can’t be within earshot. He had a terrific moment in the bathroom this morning.”
The look on Kelvin’s face said he was doubtful as he still glanced left and right.
Judas reassured him. “He should be sleeping, not attuned.” He inhaled his weeds deeply, making his cheeks sag. “I’m listening.”
