After their incredibly earth-shattering shower experience, an extremely exhausted Priest made his way out of the bathroom and observed Eileen drying her hair, while sitting on the bed.
As Priest dressed, Eileen laid back onto the bed with her eyes closed, apparently relaxed, with her hands resting behind her head. Rihanna's Love on the Brain, was now softly playing in the room's sound system speakers, still on repeat.
Priest walked up to the bed and dropped down next to Eileen and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He dreamt he was fist fighting with fire.
Priest awoke later to Eileen tossing him his cell phone. He observed there were two missed calls. One was from his team member, a large Polynesian Titan of a man called Saint, and the other was from Hecate.
"Ryder wants to see you regarding the move, because there were some...complications, Priest," stated 1st assault team lead, Saint.
Carlos had a sinking feeling they may have been compromised by their encounter with Novio's men at the church. But he was wrong.
Eileen stood up and considered leaving the room, but Priest motioned for her to stay.
"Hecate's position was compromised and it's not good." Saint's tone sounded grim.
"Shit. Don't tell me--"
"She's been admitted to ICC quarantine until we can transport her back to home base. Ryder wants us wheels up at 1900."
"Who's gonna stay back to take care of the present situation?"
"Ryder's pulling the operation for now. And Priest, don't get how you get--"
"That's unacceptable, Saint."
"Well, take it up with Ryder. I'm just the messenger."
"And Hecate?"
"Intel states it was some type of chemical agent and Hecate was suffering some undesirable effects. I'm awaiting confirmation on whether it was airborne. Fortunately, Silent and Frisco may have dispatched one of the Kiln twins. Visual confirmation from Frisco stated Castor went down, but they were unable to retrieve his body to confirm proof of death."
"I don't give a shit about that, Saint. How is she?"
"Like I fucking said uce. Don't get how you get. You don't want to cross me right now. It's bad enough our guys are shit in the wind because they had to give up their location to take out Castor Kiln all thanks to your wife's little vendetta. She's getting out of hand--"
"I get it. She knew what she was getting into. There was no stopping her. And it's ex-wife."
