“I doubt that we’ve seen the end of this, “ Matt sighed and then stuffed his bruised hands into the pockets of his coat both from feeling the evening chill settle in and for something to occupy his hands.
Elisa nodded and sighed and stole a quick glance over at the gargoyle clan who had helped break into the Illuminati strong-hold and rescuing Matt from where he had been strung up to the wall and left for dead.
Elisa did not know quite how she felt now that it was all over, but she did know that it was more than likely that after the drubbing they had given the goons set against them that it would be awhile before they were threatened or attacked again.
“Matt, I don’t really understand everything that happened here, or what you endured,” Elisa said. “For what’s it worth, I’m sorry. I feel that part of this is my fault.”
“Don’t even blame yourself, Elisa,” Matt replied his face blushing with mingled anger and embarrassment.
“At that moment I am experiencing the kind of mea culpa, mea maxima culpa like you wouldn’t believe. I honestly believed that I could handle whatever my investigation turned up with nonchalance and sanguinity and not blink an eye. Instead, I nearly got myself and all of you killed. Matt sighed and forced himself to make eye contact with each of the gargoyles in turn, no matter how difficult it might be just now.
“Bluestone, we are not dead yet,” Goliath rumbled.
Matt, despite the throbs of his various aches and pains could not retain the glum expression on his face for long and mustered a grim smile up at Goliath. “I do hope that you make it part of your future plans to not die any time soon.”
“Not even in the cards, Matt.” Elisa offered a determined grin of her own at her friend and partner. “And for what it’s worth we’re in this together, for the long haul, right, guys?”
“Right,” the gargoyles cried out at more or less the same time.
