Logan entered his office in Old Athen, waved his hand and the lights started turning up softly so his eyes get used to them. He sat at the big desk and let out a sigh. He was tired.
But however tired he was, he had to think. And he had to think fast. His life had changed a lot in the last two months and besides the fact that it was for good, he couldn't cope. It scared him.
He was never good with drastic changes. He always felt he was loosing control, and he didn't like that one bit. He run through the list of changes in his mind to take some time to think about them.
First of, was that girl. Cath. It all started as a game but now?
Now he felt things, like he never did before. It'd be easy to try and forget her, to move on, if things were different. But truth is he couldn't. They spent too much time together. But the thing that made him worry as much was that she felt things as well. They had fun together, a lot of fun, that's true but he worried. He worried about her safety, about her well being, about what would happen in the future if...
He looked at his desk drawer for a packet of cigarettes. He didn't smoke, almost never. But he always had a couple of packets laying around for times like this. Times he needed to keep himself tense, to think over serious things happening in his life. Times when he simply couldn't afford getting lost in his thoughts tho'. He pulled a cigarette out of the packet and played it a bit between his fingers.
Connected with Cath's thought was Ms Geers. This...woman?
Everyone seemed to hate her, everyone. For the Clans he could understand, but he couldn't name one Omni-Tek employee he spoke at, that didn't hate her as well. The only reason he kept thinking about her was because of what she did to Cath, of how she scared her, of how she even manipulated her, through blackmailing.
He was sure of one thing. He wanted nothing to do with her, but also, if she kept threatening Cath, well, he'd hunt her down like nobody ever did.Whatever that meant.
Logan lit up his cigarette and he puffed some smoke, towards the ceiling. He always liked the shapes the smoke made.
He then pulled out a card from his pocket. It was a simple plain white card with a calligraphic Catalyna on it. He met her some months ago, a young and short opifex female with bad temper and good humor. He needed her to find some background information for a work he had accepted. And she did a pretty damn good job at it. He may needed her help again, to prepare him for who that Ms Geers was. He needed to know who he was moving against.
Next thing was that nanomage girl he met. Kate was her name? Seemed right. He needed to see her. And he needed that soon!
She seemed pretty nice and friendly, almost too much for it to be real. He had to be sure tho'. He couldn't take chances. Not about Cath at least. He needed Cath safe. He wouldn't care much about Kate's agenda if it was about him. But not now.
He opened a bottle of a fine Old Whiskey he had and filled a cup with it, smiling a bit sadly, and puffed some more smoke before taking a small sip.
Then it was Andrew. He kept talking about peace between the Join Clans and Omni-Tek. He seemed sincere enough about it, but Logan was not sure he could simply trust him. Before that could happen tho' the Clans needed a Council. They needed the Council reformed. Alive. That was the reason he came here to think. He had a meeting coming really soon with Cher. And he needed to know what to say, how to propose this. She was a spokesperson of the previous council and someone people liked. If it was someone he could depend on it was her.
He was tired. He was scared, and most importantly he was unsure of how all this would end. Sure thing, his life was much better and way less boring than before. But that seemed to have a high price on him. He felt old. Unable to control things in his life anymore. He sighed again looked at the time.
