A True Oracle
While Alex and Jack were having their discussion, another one was happening in a place not too far from them.
Across the island of Montreal, on the southern shore of its metropolitan region, in the burg of Candiac, a car was pulling up to a cozy manor-style house.
As they pulled into the driveway, getting checked by the guard at the large iron gate, the car was cleared to proceed and drove the few hundred meters to the house.
As they exited the car, a person awaited them on the steps to the front door.
"I thought I told you to bring back the druid, Angelo, Sergio. Where is my druid?" a tall woman asked them.
"Someone strong beat us to him, boss. He took out Ronny and Francesco in seconds. I never saw someone move that fast. We pulled away before he made us so he wouldn't know who called the shots. But we lost two men," the fatter one of the two said.
The woman looked at the two men, and then at the car.
