MINE IN EVERY LIFETIME
Chapter Eighty — The Square
They left the vehicles at the edge of the city.
On foot from there.
The six of them.
Mara.
Caius.
Zane.
Edmund.
Petra.
Davan.
The streets were not empty.
Halvern was awake.
People outside their doors.
At windows.
Phones in hands.
Listening.
Aldren's voice coming through speakers mounted on the buildings.
Measured.
Certain.
The voice of a man who had been preparing this for three years and was finally saying it to the people he had been preparing it for.
Mara walked.
She did not slow down.
She did not look at the speakers.
She kept her eyes on the tower at the end of the street.
At the broadcast point.
At the building below it.
She walked.
The square opened up around them.
Wider than the streets.
More people.
