[The past month has not been kind to Dave.
He’s still upset over Jane’s sudden departure, still bitter because Balthazar isn’t here, still anxious because Drake is.
He’s more anxious over the Morganian’s presence now than when he first arrived, though, which Dave didn’t think was possible. Then again, he never thought he’d have to tell Drake about Morgana’s death.
Or, rather, about Morgana’s murder.
The thing that worried him most was the utter lack of any response from Drake. Morgana’s blood is on Dave’s hands, he admitted it, and Drake didn’t do a thing. Dave hasn’t even seen the other sorcerer on the network in weeks, and Dave is terrified. He knows how Morganians work, knows how they can wait and wait and wait for just the right moment. Dave’s been avoiding Drake by keeping to himself, in his room, but hiding from Drake is also hiding from everyone else.
Tonight, though, he’s outside, headed for the stadium. A warning hasn’t gone out yet and he has no idea that Strangelings are lurking.
He knows Drake is, though.
And if Drake’s been waiting for his chance, this is it.]
