He knew that Sohalia was more than capable of looking after herself, and knew that with their son with her she would not put herself in a dangerous situation but. What she okay ? Who knew.

If Sohalia came back to this he very much doubted that she would be okay. But she was gone. Perhaps that was the best thing for her. "Gaucho not know. Soh go at beginning of BirdSong.

"Two from Throat show up murdered." He continued, the smile vanishing. "Any from Falls?"
