  “Who will notice me?”

  “The waiters, I hope.”

  “Good point.”

  “You, Sethra, Kiera, Aliera, Daymar, Mario, Morrolan . . .”

  “Hmm?”

  “It’s good to have friends.”

  “Uh huh. What will you do after that?”

  “Get out of town. Alive, if possible.”

  “Have a destination in mind? Not that I’m asking what it is.”

  “Yes, in general, I guess.”

  “Sooner or later, Vlad, you’ll have to settle things with the Jhereg.”

  “And the Left Hand.”

  “Yes, and the Left Hand.”

  “At the moment, I only see one way of ‘settling’ that might work out, and that isn’t a way that pleases me much.”

  “I can’t imagine why not.”

  “Heh.”

  “I mean it, Vlad. This will have to be settled.”

  “Not today. Today I have to meet my son.”

  He nodded.

  I heard sharp footsteps outside of the door, and recognized them as Cawti’s. Kragar stood up. “I’ll see you in a while, Vlad.”

  I tried to speak, but couldn’t, so I nodded.

  My hands were shaking.
