"There is a Chief Inspector who might take the information seriously. But I don't want to be connected to this anymore than you do. But I doubt one person can stop a secret society that has been ravaging this world for centuries."
Connor listened intently. She was right. They were both only two people. And more than likely, if any word of this got out, they'd be dead. But....he couldn't just leave it. He owed it to Hayden. Even if his son was now dead and had never run across these Atharim, his death lay at their feet. They'd created the environment- the fear and the secrecy- that had resulted in his dying unable to control whatever power he had. He couldn't just let them get away with it.
And then there was Ayden. They would put a bullet in her head given a whiff of what she was able to do. They'd kill her and her family in the name of humanity. He was not going to let them go on. There was only so much one man could do. But he would do it. For Hayden. For Ayden. And for all the others who would be judged and executed merely for what was possible.
"Tell me the inspector's name. I'll take it to him. I may not be able to stop them. But I'm not going to hide from them either. If I can help stop it I will."
