Dale raised his hands up defensively;
"Hey don't be like that, I am only the messenger?"
"What?"
"The governor's looking for you champ. He asked me to come get you."
Another look of despair lunged across his face, sinking him even deeper into the sink hole that was in his mind. If it hadn't been Quaid, Xzavier would have bounced this offer with no remorse. But he didn't want to repay Quaid's hospitality to him with impudence. So, reluctantly, he agreed to step into the hot steamy cauldron that was the social circles of Victoria City.
Exhaling deeply, he asked Dale;
"Where is the governor?"
"Come, I'll lead you to him."
