Paige Summers had Maisie Joyce come over to inquire about the situation in Southreach.
Initially, she didn't want to tell her about Leo Joyce, but Maisie was quite clever. Paige had barely started before Maisie sensed something was wrong.
"Leo Joyce... Did something happen to him?"
Paige Summers exchanged a look with Marcus Monroe and Claire Chapman. Realizing they probably couldn't hide it, she spoke bluntly. "Yes. We heard a monster appeared in Southreach and attacked Leo Joyce. He's now in a coma. We're worried about the situation in the city, so we want to know who, besides Leo Joyce's faction, might contend for the City Lord's position. Once we understand that, we can make plans."
'They're already talking about making plans. Leo Joyce's injuries must be severe.' Maisie Joyce was stunned for a long moment before her gaze dimmed and she began to speak about Southreach.
Southreach's system was different from Central City's. Here, the military and the government were one.
