It seemed right that he was from Washington. Somehow, all the weirdest people Fatima knew ended up clustered around and about Seattle.

Except for the vampires. The weirdest vampires she knew were, of course, from the UK.

Fatima definitely wanted the backstory on this guy. But now wasn't the time. Even she knew that. As much as she liked to show off--Oh, it's no problem for me to talk in the middle of battle, I can handle everything--she had reasonably straight priorities.

For now.

There would be a interrogation later.
