"So it was an old lady who wanted to keep power over dead grand kids, fascinating." I couldn't help my natural urge to tell a story, so I told Hanlon everything that had happened. Which seemed to be what he wanted out of me anyway.
"More or less, I don't think she understood what she was doing was causing the problems all over town, so evil, but completely oblivious to the result of her actions." I felt silly sitting in the back of an empty truck passing information to Hanlon who wasn't even driving. I mean why couldn't I sit up front? Apparently I'm not good enough.
"Or she was so evil to ignore the consequences of her actions and just forge ahead because what she wanted was power, perhaps a lesson for you there Trezlan." The thought had crossed my mind, and by crossed my mind I mean I ignored the idea entirely.
"Can you just drive I don't want to dwell on this." I didn't and he let it go, and by let it go he pestered me for the next eight freaking hours. I've chosen to lose that dialogue if only because it was botheresome to me and I hate dwelling on the past (says the man specifically dwelling on the past, I'm anything if not a hypocrite). All the same I arrived back in town with Hanlon, he dropped me off with some comment about thinking about the future and then drove off. Only thing I was thinking of was how much of a dick Hanlon was and still is!
