Never Sure

As it turned out, Rowland’s hideout was an old apartment building, long since vacated. Eight stories tall, windows boarded up, the weeds on the walkway overgrown, it seemed exactly the kind of place to find a psycho like this.

The stairs creaked underfoot as they headed to the door. Then they paused, and Desophyles laid a hand on his shoulder. “You sure about this?” he asked under his breath.

Fiearius glanced over at him. No, of course he wasn’t sure, he never was. But he muttered, “Yeah. Go.”

Reluctantly, Dez nodded and ran off around the corner of the building to look for another way in. Mustering up his courage, Fiearius laid a hand on the doorknob and tried to ignore how strange this felt. He’d never walked into a place without Dez immediately at his back before. He had a gut feeling that separation here was the key. Catch Rowland off-guard. Cause a distraction and surprise him. Even if that meant walking into this building alone...


Wasn't Fiear a cutie when he was little? Too bad he had to grow up
