This wasn't something he wanted to talk about over the phone. He was about to put the phone down when Ivan answered with feigned friendliness - Dorian could hear the tension in his voice. They had a lot to talk about...
"It's Dorian Vega. I need.... No, we need to talk."
He hoped his voice didn't sound too frantic, but the years of practice playing unsuspecting hero to a bunch of weird cases helped. But this was his son who was still lying in bed with a fever and chills. He hated this, hated going to a god for help but this was his only option.
"Can you meet me at my place? I've got to show you something and we can talk."
Dorian shook his head. Nothing good ever comes out of the statement - we need to talk. And he was certain that this was going to go one of two ways - Ivan would agree to come and help, or he'd out Dorian to the very people he was trying to hide Cruz from. Dorian knew he wasn't the only one in the Atharim on the monster squad - or at least reported to someone on the other side.
Dorian didn't want to find the boy Atharim and his sword wielding friend, but he would if he had to. That boy was not going to tell anyone his secret - it was his own death. Ivan knew nothing of this world - nothing...
