Cade chuckled. "Meeting the Ascendancy didn't seem too far-fetched. No more so than growing up in a brothel. Same two extremes."
As for Elyse and Anna, well he was pretty sure Elyse wasn't a hacker, and Anna well he already knew she was one of the channelers, almost all of the at his brother's so-called burlesque touted some sort of skill. He was still amazed that his brother could do those fantastical things -- must be nice. He said as much. "I'm pretty sure Elyse isn't a hacker. And Anna can't speak that many languages. I already know the secret of Kallisti's dancers -- I did my research on my brother."
"But I have been arrested, just not for resisting arrest. I went peaceably when our protest got out of hand. Laney dragged me to one of the Free America protests while we were in college. There were riot police and everything. I got charged with disorderly conduct along with the rest of us who got caught." He shrugged about the monster. "I was five when my mother went missing. My therapist and my dad said it was just a dream, but I've seen things, things that I hope my brother will tell me are false. I dreamt of my mother's disappearance, a creepy woman with blood red lips took her, it was the scariest dream I'd ever had until I saw my mother die again later by some big black dark dog that mauled her to death. Seen a few other morbid things, things I can't explain." Cade downed the last of his tequilla sunrise. "If that won't bring down the mood, I think we all need another drink."
