'So the Manuari released you?' I had to get that question out of the way first because it must have also meant that they'd retrieved their missing friend from Everblade.
'Not just me; every human in captivity has been returned to their respective worlds,' Garland looked at me and sighed. 'When you negotiated that peace treaty, did you request they only return humans?'
My jaw dropped. 'Of course not! I asked for our people back.'
'Well, the Manuari honoured their word, to the letter. And until they create the cure, they'll continue to take non-human hosts. Nice work.'
'You weren't there. You didn't see what we were up against.'
'I wish I had been there-'
'Inspector Garland, that's hardly fair.'
The man eyed Cali with something approaching disdain before noticing the other Inspectors lingering nearby. 'In my office, both of you.'
