LERRIN

They were just reaching the security building when the door flew open and Reth rushed out, barking orders and grabbing Lerrin by the elbow in a jolt that made Lerrin's teeth clench against the pain.

"We've got him, you are all called to Behryn immediately!" Reth snapped shoving Lerrin towards the council building.

"But—" the lieutenant began, but Reth snarled.

"I don't know what's been happening with this prisoner, but you are to report to Behryn NOW. And my advice is to take your humility with you if you don't want to be stripped of your positions!"

The Lieutenant's face opened in surprise, the two guards looking at him nervously.

"Yes, sire," he said after a moment. "Of course."

"Good. Get moving." Then Reth turned his back on the men and pushed Lerring in the door of the building, checking behind him only to be certain that Suhle followed, before they walked through into the darkened building.
