Ascendancy departed with Jeeves. There was yet another opportunity to watch the Padre heal. After the Sigma got some clothes, though. Those hospital gowns sucked, he remembered. Ass all hanging out and stuff. He didn't really understand why that was important in a hospital. He doubted most stays in the hospital required quick access to the ass.
He laughed inside. It was probably some pervy doctor who came up with that to check out his patients and it stuck. He knew the nurses had gotten a peek or two at his cheeks when he was there. His face went red, but he laughed it off and told them to stop checking him out.
An orderly brought in a pair of scrubs and Ivan and Jensen left the room to give the guy some privacy. The Sigma came out plucking at the fabric of the material with distaste, as if he were uncomfortable. Ivan didnt comment on it. The guy had no sense of humor anyway.
Stepanovitch led them to another room and his mouth dropped open. Despite the burns, he knew her. Or had met her anyway. She was Nox's friend. What was she doing here? He wanted to ask her, but Viktor had waved him to silence. "The Ascendancy will be here in a moment. Mr. James has agreed to provide healing."
She looked in better shape than the Ascendancy or Sigma had been in. There was a story here. Maybe he'd get to know it. Speaking of which, he looked at the man. He had a puzzled look on his face. For a moment anyway. He noticed Ivan watching him and his face went blank. Yeah. There was a story here. He felt his instincts kick in. He wanted to solve that puzzle.
Later, though. After the healing. He tried to figure out what the Padre would do, how he would proceed. There would be probing, figuring out what was wrong. Then....a strategy. That's what he wanted to see. How the man figured out what to do and in what order. He'd definitely get more out of it this time.
