Two more Templar appear out of the shadows, one securing me and the other hovering intensely close to Sunshine. It looks like all my paranoia amounted to something after all. Sunshine is looking scared but not in the way I’ve been getting used to. He’ll be able to walk out of this alive short of them chaining him to the ground at sunrise. “Alright. Maybe we should all go to this meeting everyone keeps talking about,” Sunshine says calmly. To emphasize his change of strategy, he points the gun at my head. “I believe we all have a problem if he dies,” Sunshine explains. The Templar look at one another and one of them fades back into the shadows. We start moving to the exit and towards the hotel elevator. “Nothing personal Shade. But you’re human now and there are things bigger than us going on,” Sunshine says as we walk. He’s staying quiet about the Book and the concierge. That’s a good thing, for now. But for how long? The gun stays out of sight was we pass through the lobby but sneaks a peak during the elevator ride. The fear starts creeping up my spine but I’m used to it enough to know how to sit in the same room with my mortality. The key is to avoid talking to it. No one says a word as we ride up and I’m grateful. I’m about to attend a meeting where the parties can only agree on a couple of things. One, they resolve most of their disagreements with violence. Two, we’re about to discuss something they don’t agree on. Three, I’m the only person who can’t survive a cinder block to the face attending. So yeah, I’ll ask my growing sense of terror about all this a little bit later on.
