209 SOMETHING GIDDY

THERE were a hundred, no, a thousand of things that went through Wulfric's mind when he heard that.  In a matter of millisecond, it all became jumbled up and he couldn't make heads or tails of it.  But even so, he still found himself saying;

"He can.  Tell him to come quickly."  Then, as if realizing that his phrasing was a bit forceful, he cleared his throat and added, "I mean, it would be better for him to go here quickly since I still have a schedule after this."

Slade gave his captain a meaningful glance.  What schedule?  He was there when the other complained to Leland that he needed a break after spending a week training kids.  And now that same captain was saying that he had a schedule after this?  It was so obvious that he only said that to cover up his too enthusiastic response at the beginning. 

The real question here was, who was this 'brother' the captain and the kid were talking about?
