Summary: The truth will set you free…or clue you in…even the electric one can be in the dark.
Keeping out of sight, I tail Hotstreak but I have no idea where he’s going. When the Redhead suddenly propels himself through the air, it catches me off guard but I have no trouble keeping up. He lands on the roof of an abandoned warehouse and I do too. I figure at this point he knows he’s being followed.
“About time you showed yourself Sparky.”
“So I’m caught. How’d you know I was there to begin with?”
“You mean to tell me you can’t feel it when I’m around?”
Shocked I look at him with confusion written all over my face.
“I figured all us bang babies with powers tied to the planet got the Buzz.”
“The Buzz?”
He looks at me like I’m a moron and says, “Yeah, I get this weird feeling anytime you or that frost chic or someone like that’s close by. You don’t feel it?”
Now that I was looking for it, I did feel something, funny how I never noticed this before.
“So you always know when I’m around?” I ask. That possibility is somewhat scary.
“Nah, only if you’re using your powers and I’m not too busy to notice, it’s hard to describe.”
Relieved I nod, “So what really made you back out on Ebon?”
“Besides the fact his plan was basically offering up Ferret to the cops to buy us time to get away?”
“Yeah besides that,” I say trying to play it cool even though his concern for Ferret shocked me.
“He was counting on me to go toe to toe with you. He always does that shit and I’m tired of it. If he wants to take you down let him do it, I’m not his whipping boy.”
“Fair enough,” I say before I leave, tonight’s been an odd night.
