Beto watched in fascination. His eyes shifted between them as they explained their power- how it differed and how it was the same. Fascinating. Amazing. It was the only word. Quiet dispassionate...awe, at what fate had presented him.
He quirked a corner of his mouth in amusement at the way the universe had finally surprised him after years of the banal. The peek behind the curtain, a tantalizing view of something more than than shadows on the wall. The maker had revealed himself at last. And Beto was on the trail, now. He was a bloodhound and the scent had been given to him. Once focused, nothing would stop him from getting at the truth.
Something they said tugged at his attention. Atharim. Oh yes. "The Atharim. Brandon mentioned them. You have encountered them. Tell me about it, if you don't mind. An organization operating outside the law executing people without trial is not something the Justice deptartment can allow to exist."
He looked at the clock on the wall. There was still time. Now that Ms. Makawee wasn't a legal concern, she could be a resource. Little Bird probably wouldnt have much time to consult. But perhaps she could, attached to Justice, of course. That would be useful.
