After days of wandering through the tunnels looking for any sign of the Regus Aria found nothing. Her lead that said they'd seen him was pretty much a dead end. If anyone had seen a burnt man wandering the depths of the tunnels they weren't speaking to Aria.
And they weren't speaking to Hammel, no matter how hard he tried. Aria even tried to coerce a few of them with her touch but those few sods had seen nothing. And they had little in the way to offer the waifs in food - their supplies having run low for the other bribes they'd done over the past days.
Aria wanted a real bed. She wanted a shower. And clean clothes. Even hunting with Nox hadn't been this gross. Aria wasn't a neat freak by any means but this was worse than squaller.
Hammel and Aria ascended into the openness of the street above the depths below covered in filth. It was a sure fire way to get thrown out of the Kremlin. That and they had no news. Where the hell had the Regus gone. He wasn't dead - Aria was certain of that. If he were dead the Atharim would have regrouped. They still held out hope. And Aria knew the man was too cunning to die in a fire. He wasn't that stupid.
