“To be fair, I didn’t need to call the rest of you in here. I see someone at least comprehends the chain of command.” Dennis and Vista were giving Piggot a glare that, combined was nearly as intense as her own, Carlos, Dean, and Tybalt looked more than a bit disgruntled and unsettled, and even Sophia looked a bit upset by the proceedings (or at least not glorying in karma). Slowly, my teammates settled down, looking more than a bit upset by this turn of events. “-and now she’s the villain, you hypocritical-” That was what finally burst the dam holding back the Wards’ (and Tybalt’s) responses Less chance of being separated in a high-stress situation that way.” Hebert has volunteered to be part of a new initiative involving GPS tracking of the Wards while on missions. And indeed, when the tracking bracelet was dredged up from beneath her desk, I just breathed an internal sigh of relief it wasn’t worse. So, I am letting you off relatively lightly.” “Thankfully, you also seem to be fully aware of this sheer idiocy of what you did right then and there, and you began some degree of damage control. “Be glad that, despite your repeated presence in my office, and your appearance generally heralding catastrophe, that this is somehow the first time you are completely at fault!”Īnd just like that, she calmed down. “When it was eminently possible to, say, leave the room and then release stress there, with only telling Carlos instead of every damn person in the room that there was actionable intelligence somewhere.”
“And of course, there is also the fact that this happened directly in front of the very reason it was made secret in the first place.” The glare narrowed even further. A counter I was sure would be the antithesis of help.Īpparently satisfied nobody was backtalking her, Piggot continued. I couldn’t smell anything new from Dennis, but I could feel the counter that must have been on his lips. Thankfully, Carlos had somehow convinced the other Wards to remain silent. “Of course,” she continued, affixing me in particular with that glare of hers, “if certain persons were more capable of controlling their anger, that wouldn’t be as much of an error on my part.” Piggot had called in all the Wards this time, presumably because the whole “secrecy” thing wasn’t working. Specifically, how there was a lot of speech I could forgive if the scent matched the contents. The past few weeks had really impressed on me the value of self-awareness as a quality, I had found. “So, the inevitable happened,” Piggot muttered.
