"I take it you will be at Mick's home? Or should I come looking for you somewhere else?"

"No. I'll be with Angela, she needs support right now. Anyways, though I'm sure you don't agree, you are a good man for doing this. At least, you are in my eyes."

Iara nodded back to him and rose from her chair. She gave him a soft smile and left the library to head back to Angela's.

Merc shrugged at her 'you are a good man' comment. She did not think so before she hired him, or before he had brought up the prospect of settling this matter for her. This was personal for her, not for him, and he could understand why she would see him as 'good'. He, however, held no such delusions about himself. He rose from his chair and followed her towards the front of the library, though broke off to meander through the library eventually selecting a book to check out before leaving. He would catch up with Sloven in good time, but now was not the time. Too soon after Mick's murder, this would have to be done carefully and more than likely, from the shadows. Sloven would not see it coming, that was the only certainty.
