At the door to
Patrick Field’s house, 1st Lieutenant Santos addressed the two women
he’d escorted from the Templus Ministrae, “one moment while I inform Colonel
Dagon that you’re here.” Turning the knob and pushing the door, resulted in
nothing. He shoved again, then looked over his shoulder and half-heartedly
smiled as he knocked.
When the door
opened a crack, Santos declared, “tell Colonel Dagon I’ve returned with the
Celatrix and one of her officers.”
