Dammit.

[The voice on the PCD sounds a little tinny and staticy, as if it's music playing from a radio station that you can't quite get reception from. There is no picture, though the video function should be working, only a haze of static. The speaker smacks the PCD a time or two, and the picture flickers on to reveal what would be a stunningly gorgeous girl with long, dark purple hair, if she weren't so skinny and dressed in what appears to be rags. She looks half-starved, and her eyes are shadowed and a little annoyed as she scowls at the screen. When she speaks, her words are broken up by bursts of static. What? Tech doesn't work well with wizards.]

This better --kshhh-- one of your tricks -- kshhh-- don't have time for your stupid games.

[She smacks the PCD again with an irritated sigh, and the picture blacks out.] Can --kshhh-- me what happened to Chicago?

[And just as quickly and suddenly as he'd moved to pin her to the wall, Thomas' grip on Molly's throat is gone, letting gravity take over. He backs away a step, just staring at her. The comprehension slowly dawns in his eyes, even if the silver touch of the demon's presence is slower to fade.]

And neither of you thought to tell me about his brilliant plan.

[She falls and rubs her throat, keeping a wary eye on Thomas. Best not to move too much, if he's still looking like that.]

I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone.

[emptynight]

You promised you wouldn't tell anyone.

[His next words come out in a bare hiss.]

He was my brother, Molly.

[Her free hand is searching for her wand, just in case.]

I know. And I -- [A shadow passes over her face, but it is brief, and she continues as if she'd never paused at all.]

He didn't want you to do anything stupid like get yourself killed.

[A bark of bitter laughter escapes Thomas, but it doesn't lessen the anger and pain still seething in his voice.]

You mean so I don't do anything like kill Kincaid before his stupid plan had a chance to work.

[Without waiting for Molly's response, Thomas turns and continues back on the way to the clinic.]

[magicalpadawan.livejournal.com]

Maybe that, too.

[She sighs and pushes herself up, using her cane for leverage, and continues following.]
