Break's Over
After his strike against the Syndicate, Kir and Serene parted ways in an alley.
"We could use someone like you in the Breakers," Serene said.
Kir had been only slightly surprised to find out that she was an agent for a group called the Chain Breakers. She'd been caught but her identity hadn't been confirmed by the Syndicate, though not for a lack of trying on Michelle's part.
"I have my own obligations," he replied, "but consider me an ally."
She tsked. "I can respect that. But if you're ever in Chainsfree, say you're a friend of Serene. You'll get some help. So stay alive, Ghostheart."
Kir nodded, and Serene gave him a tiny salute before winking and running off.
He was able to stagger his way through the back alleys and back to the Black Sheep, to whom he told a brief version of how his night had gone before climbing upstairs and onto the bed, where he passed out almost immediately.
