An odd feeling stirred in Gary’s body as he watched Daphne walk toward him. She had her hand raised and was wiggling her fingers. There was even an odd smile on her face, which made Gary feel like those fingers might end up somewhere else.
In the end, his natural reaction was to take steps back as she came forward.
“What are you doing?” Daphne asked. “If you move back, then I can’t help you sort this out.”
“That’s the problem,” Gary replied. “I don’t even know what you’re going to do. What do you mean by shortcut?”
When Gary thought about it more, what if this was some type of strange plan from Daphne all along? What if this was a way to get the Howlers to lower their guard? Then, with her powers, she could take over Gary and cause him to go on a rampage in his own city, fighting those he cared about.
It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility.
