How long had it been since she's encountered the boy god traitor in the tunnels with the inquisitor? A week or more? And here he was flaunting his powers in the wide open. The reports shown that Jerry hadn't actually found him except when the boy wanted to be found. Or when he'd been injured and flagged -- this was pure carelessness on his part. Something had changed.
Dangerous men needed to be taken down. But this boy knew how they operated. And taking him on was not going to work. A bullet to the brain was the only way to go. But there was still a no kill order on him. That dumb ass scientist wanted him alive. Which made this all that much worse. The inquisitors no kill order still stood. And until proof could be brought to the order, he was still only suspected of being a god. Though the other inquisitors couldn't find him either.
They weren't being very good at their jobs if they couldn't find two men who could do this channeling thing the media spoke of. The power of the gods flowed through their veins and they would mess up -- Durante clearly had.
And now Zef sat in the audience of the supposed show and waited and watched even as he threatened her very self with a blatant display of his power. There were other Atharim here. There had to be. His displays had gone viral. And they all would watch and wait until they could take him out. But that wasn't why Zef was here. She wanted to control him. And there had to be something here he cared about -- something she could exploit and keep him in her grasp while he floundered and ran scared into the shadows. Something that would keep her safe.
