Chapter 6
In reply to Ciryl Fontaine (msg # 565):
Brennan collects the tools Cyril asked for and provides them without fanfare. This accomplished, he goes to check on Titus.
Given his flare for the dramatic, this could be a ruse...
When he detects no vital signs, he exhales deeply.
"Well, that's one way to avoid the Haunts," he murmurs. "And it's just like you to give me another task to complete before we reach Losthelm. But I swear, if you remain behind as Enrei did..."
He rises to his feet, though he will prevent any would-be looters from setting upon the corpse. If Titus's aura has winked out, Brennan then scans the crowd very carefully for signs of a new aura among the rabble. He will also attempt to collect a sample of Jack's remains, however faint.
Jack killed him, but Jacks' dead. Where would it go... he ponders quietly. His perfect memory turns the wheels of time backward a considerable distance. Where did Enrei's go? I...should be able to recall...
