Most creatively. Most furiously. I hadn’t been expecting anger. That would imply he actually liked Karish, wouldn’t it? That he actually cared that something dangerous was happening to him? “What’s the problem?” “It’s—Don’t they—Doesn’t the person who did this know that if he kills Karish, he kills you, too?” Oh. “I guess he didn’t care.” “What happened to him, the attacker?” “The Runners are looking for him.” And I really didn’t want to talk about it anymore. “Maybe you should leave.” “Leave?” The house? He was that upset? “Leave High Scape. Go somewhere safe.” There was no place safe. As long as Karish was in danger, I was, too. “I can’t leave.” “Why not? You can’t work until Karish is back on his feet, anyway.” I couldn’t leave Karish. For someone to be struck down as Karish was and have his partner desert just to save her own skin was a little too cold even for me. And I couldn’t shake the absurd notion that Karish would be safer if I were around to watch over him.
