I was slumped so far down in the desk chair that I was basically horizontal. The window beside me was pushed wide open, letting the cool night air and the muffled chatter from the street drift into the warm-lit room.
I half-lay there, keeping one hand thrown over my eyes, completely ignoring the long-grown cold box of pizza I'd pulled from my inventory right after the call ended.
[To think those Entropy peeps would turn out to be this big…] I thought as a dozen different ways we could end up lying in a pool of our own blood raced through my mind like a bad highlight reel.
[If Entropy does come after us… I highly doubt we would be able to chill on the sidelines and let the General sort this out.]
I let out another deep sigh before blindly reaching over to grab the slice. [Maybe I should skip this quest… pay the fine and stuff, and get back. By myself, I am the easiest target…]
