To Kill a Killer

"He's going to kill her," Shara said once they were on the deck. "He isn't going to care if she did anything wrong or not. At the very least, he will hurt her to get the truth out."

"I know," Ning said. "Sighing. It would've been so much easier if I had my powers with me."

"Your powers?" Shara asked. "Did you lose all your energy already?"

"No, that's not what I'm talking about," Ning said. "Never mind."

"Okay…" Shara said. "What now?"

"Now? We wait," Ning said, sighing.

He opened his status page again and looked at the quests. Tima wanted her father to smile, but Ning doubted if that could ever happen. In fact, he didn't hope it would happen.

At least, not until the man met a channeler, who could let him talk directly with his daughter. The man at least deserved a chance to talk to his daughter.

Tima deserved a chance to talk to her father.
