He nodded "You said they quarantine the bodies Would he keep the wind scorpion on ice?"

Knowing Luther? Yes, he would keep it on ice and screith it until soher up lost their patience, took it away fro If the wind scorpion also eic, ould have confir we’d encountered so far was connected

"I have no plans to use poords unless I absolutely have no choice" I made a mental note to ask Luther if the object of power had been recovered It felt like I was , so

"I don’t understand why he attacked the Guild" Derek grie," Curran said "Look at it froainst cats and starts attacking the Oswald family He summons a tick Eduardo, a houls Then he suriffin, and two riffin into a wind scorpion, and Kate and I, who had just coo into the MARTA tunnels and kill houls If I were him, I’d be pissed off and come over to the Guild towith me"
