Better not linger in her starting place too much longer. Yellow's faster than her and may have already come home to a wreck. Thorn might have a habit of checking up on the place, even, just in case. She's invisible, inaudible, unsmellable - that won't help if he sends someone thorough. Or comes in person.

"I'll be able to tell if he's trying to move, and will even let him do it. More importantly, that's not an answer. You have four seconds."
Well that was anticlimactic. Jacob stops. Once her hand is halfway through his head, the Siberian reverts to being stopped too.
Promise flies to where Liam has just been dropped unceremoniously on the roof. "You okay?"
Then she goes up to the Siberian. "You may, without inconveniencing me, breathe. Answer my questions truthfully and completely. Can you talk?"
If Promise really wants a complete answer she might end up sitting through a long list of dead members.
Snap, snap. "If I bring you to Captain's Hill and don't make any really obvious tactical mistakes, will anything I would predictably dislike happen?"
"Bonesaw probably has something set up. I couldn't tell you what. Other than that, you might be assumed to be a member of the Nine and earn a kill order. And in five or six billion years the sun might burn out."
Sigh. "Would it be difficult or have consequences I wouldn't like if I sent you to draw them out separately one at a time?"
