As Harry said, we are bound by rules and conventions. It is not that simple.
I snorted. And do you think Hunter plays by the rules? Or even cares about them?
Perhaps not, but if we play her game, then we are no better than her. And she is not without her supporters. He hesitated. Be wary of what you say. We hear every word here on the plane. You would not want her other followers to realize anything untoward has happened.
I know. I studied him grimly for a moment. What happens if they do suspect anything?
Then I will have to take care of them.
Kill them, you mean.
He shrugged. There is little other choice. Besides, it is what I do.
But won't it alert Hunter that something has happened?
If an astral traveler is killed on the plane, then they die here on Earth. It would not be the first time such a death happened, and I daresay it will not be the last. It is a risk we all take when traveling.
That didn't actually answer the question.
Yes, she will suspect and more than likely question me. But she has no reason to question the loyalty of the Cazadors, and she will not suspect my involvement.
No, she'd suspect me.
Perhaps, but we work twelve-hour rotating shifts. If the kill is timed right, it would be at least ten hours before the body was discovered. The plane is an ever-shifting environment. There would be no evidence left to find.
There'd be a ghost. Ghosts can be questioned.
It would be a fragmented ghost, and insane. They would get no information from it.
