Opi handed me a note without ceremony. "If you truly are a One, see me there." He said quietly. Then he just left.
A small slip of paper. Argent's juice shop. 7pm.
This guy has multiple paper notes that say this inside his pocket? I thought for a second.
I looked up, he was already moving.
I didn't follow him.
I looked at Aria instead, who had gotten herself off the floor and was brushing dust from her sleeves with the focus of someone trying to appear undamaged. She looked at me and mouthed something.
See you there.
No sound. Then she walked out through the other entrance of the building, her pace casual, like none of the last five minutes had happened.
"Ugh. What the hell…"
I looked down.
One of the unconscious figures was coming around. I'd forgotten they were there. His hand moved toward his face and on reflex I kicked him, not hard, just enough to keep him there. He groaned and stopped moving.
