Chapter 27: Talks With A Cultist
Inside the “Mortar and Pestle” was a standoff. On one side was Joe and Mike pointing their guns at Wren, who was holding his hands up shaking in fear.
Mike: “Dan. Whatever you do, don’t take your eyes off him.”
Wren: “P-please i-im not going to do anything,“ he said while shaking with fear.
Joe: “Did you lock the front door?” he said to Dan, without taking his eyes off the man in front of him.
Dan: “U-um, yeah.”
Joe: “Good. take these and cuff him for me,” he said, as he passed Dan a pair of Jinsil steel handcuffs he had in his jacket while continuing to point his gun at Wren.
Dan took the cuffs. With some trepidation, he started to walk around to Wren and prepared to put the cuffs on him.
Wren: “T-that’s really not necessary. I-i’m not a mage.”
Joe: “And yet, you can recognize these as cuffs specifically for mages.”
