With Kethra’s departure, Marcus sent Vincent and the rest of his team to the Kethra’s home and the Western Coordination Center. The team prevents Kethra or her followers from causing any more damage or retrieving any paperwork. With all the documentation in hand, Marcus gets comfortable and pours through it all, trying to determine the state of the Region.

Or will he be getting all the answers Nathaniel requires?
“Marcus is busy,” Vincent’s voice sliced through the wall. “You’ll have to come back later.”
“You’ve been saying that for more than a week,” a shrill reply chased Vincent’s words. “We are tired of waiting for him to disseminate his plans for our people.”
