My walk through Vegas continued for a few more hours, as my thoughts consumed me. To tell the truth, I wasn't really looking at anything besides the sidewalks I was placing my feet on, because my full focus was somewhere else.
If things really were on track to become so bad, as I thought because of the meeting with The Great One, I had to be ready, which meant more hunting, which meant more time separated from Tihana. Kinda hypocritic worry when I just left her to go on a solo trip, but I made my preparation, and created a short-term solution by surrounding her with my friends. Long term, though, this wouldn't work.
- No, no, no. Thank you. Tell him we are not interested - suddenly reached my ears, and for some reason picked my attention from my own thoughts.
