That made me feel... elated in fact. The idea that he was a Cardinal had been unnerving, adding danger to a situation that had already screamed dangerous. But it wasn't that. I hadn't wanted him to be a Cardinal. I smiled at the near empty room, then slipped out of the harness, draping it over the table next to the computer and phone with care, and walked to the front door. A parting gift. It didn't take me long to make it outside undetected, and it was a damn sight easier than clinging to the side of the building in the rain. I found my "borrowed" car in its safe and secure spot, ready and waiting. Within minutes I was on the road, moving back towards the inner city, the residential apartment blocks of Hillsborough flashing by as I made my way on the still empty streets. The drive wasn't quite as nerve racking as the earlier one over there, but it still held a certain amount of thrill despite the excitement that threatened to consume me at having found out at least something about the man.
