Gerry felt like he was always turning his head anymore. Waiting for another fire to start, another page to flutter, another ghost to haunt.
No rest for the wicked, or the Watched.

Summary
Gerry thought he had found some peace when a trickle of awareness pricked his spine, a sick sense of wrong tilting the world as it did when the Eye felt the need to let him Know. He glanced to the warehouse behind him, noting with a detached sort of calm that the windows probably shouldn't be able to hold that many panes, never mind how trying to focus on them too hard made a migraine radiate from his temples. The building wavered, almost like a sickly filter was snapping in and out of focus in front of it before it was very and abruptly the most normal warehouse Gerry had ever seen.
Yeah, right.

Summary
"Are we going to play this blinking game for the next three stops or are you going to tell me what you're after?" Gerry's mouth, as almost always, started before his brain could catch the words to filter them.
"You came looking for me first, little soldier. I think you've rather stolen my line, though I'll repeat it for your benefit." A giggle trilled the end of the sentence, swirling in a way that Gerry almost thought he could visualize.

Summary
Michael was watching.
It was good at watching. Perhaps not as good as he once was, but it rarely let that stop it.
Right now, it was watching the Little Soldier and he was proving fascinating entertainment.

Summary
It's grin sharpened and it sauntered forward, dropping it's face down so it was on his level, breath smelling of sweet candy and faint carrion as it spoke, "You fed me, Bookburner. You offered a tasty little meal as a deal and then you called us friends as a lie. That's far lovelier than if you had done it for honesty."

Summary
Gerry focused fully on Michael, seeing past the impossibility of its soft-sharp hair and overwide eyes and grin.
"You've been gone a terribly long time, missed all the fun! A slew of disappearances, some bodies. I heard The Archivist has been flush with new stories." It giggled again and began walking, pausing a second to allow Gerry to catch up.

Summary
Gerry settled back into his seat and reached for the can as he turned on the telly, volume set to a low hum, frowning when his drink was not where he had set it. Michael grinned at him as it took a long sip from the can and then offered it back, delicately balanced on the tips of three of its fingers.
Gerry moved to take it and then paused just shy of making contact, “Is it a good idea for me to drink that now?”
Michael made a noise that could have been a laugh as it spoke, “I wouldn’t.”
