“There is no fear there whatsoever,” Mae noted. I agreed. “No. None at all.” Mae looked down when her phone buzzed. “I’m glad we’re all together. It’s some news we’ve been waiting for.” She took a moment to read, then offered a synopsis. “A friend of mine has reached Micha Crane. He’s rather squirrely. I think there’s a lot of suffering going on. May I offer up your contact information?” “Absolutely,” I said right away. “Of course,” Goose added. “I think, with your past war experience, you might be able to relate to one another, Goose. My associate feels he needs a lot of help.” “I’ll do what I can.” “Jefferson is there for him, too,” I reminded Goose. “Micha has decided his family is better off without him,” Mae told us. “So, getting him back to them is going to take some work.”
