What do you mean?
I mean what I said. I'm not going to do...anything, Bridge. I'm not going to acknowledge or further entertain these ridiculous stunts by the Devil to get to me and to you. I didn't hear it. I'm not accepting it. I'm just going to keep going forward.
What if he gives you a time limit?
A what? A limit? I'll feign ignorance and ask him what he means. Or are you being ironic and playing dumb now? I can play dumb too, Peanut.
What if-
What if WHAT?
What if...I go to him anyway? Then you don't get your due. It's all for nothing.
Well then I guess the only way to prevent that is to not go to him. Then we're square. Right?
I nod. He's always been smarter than the rest. Not by choice or by design but purely out of necessity.
Caleb is going to come looking for you.
Let him come. I'm ready for anything. You forget I have the upper hand here.
He says that and I take it all back. It's naive and pie in the sky and exactly like Loch. A walking contradiction. All logic one minute, all magic and foolishness the next. Right from wrong depends on the day. God help you if you get the days mixed up.
