RamingoWS3 июля 2018 г."Are all the missions like that?"
"No," Asanti said. "Some of them are worse. Much worse. But you will see things no one else has seen. Things that, I think, will put you beyond faith. Faith asks you to believe that miracles can happen. You will know that miracles happen because you will have seen them with your own eyes. That`s worth something, I think. Worth the hardship."2127- RamingoWS21 августа 2018 г.Читать далее
"We`re the guys with the guns who get called in when there`s something the Black Hole can`t suck up. And Menchu and Asanti don`t like admitting they need help."
They rounded a corner and a familiar voice added, "Also, Team One are a bunch of trigger-happy loons who never found a problem they didn`t think an arseload of C-4 couldn`t solve."
Liam. Sal wasn`t sure if he wasn`t happy to see her, wasn`t happy to see Bouchard, or wasn`t happy to see her with Bouchard.
Bouchard shrugged. "I don`t hear a lot of complaints."
"You might if you left anyone alive behind you."1118 - RamingoWS3 июля 2018 г.Читать далее
"How did it feel when you first got here?" Sal said.
Asanti smiled. "For me? I was excited. But I had already seen a bit of what magic could do, and that glimpse was not nearly as terrifying as what you saw. Or as personal."
"What did you see?" Sal said.
"That all of these things that we`re locking away down here are part of our world. As much part of God`s creation as the clouds in the air. Sometimes I suspect that if we understood it better, we would see that much isn`t so much a part of our world as we are a part of its world."
"Magic is God, huh?" Sal said.
Asanti laguhed. "I wouldn`t go that far."
"You don`t sound like you believe in the mission very much."
"Oh, I do," Asanti said. "I just don`t believe magic is evil. What I believe is that most people should not be using it."123 - RamingoWS3 июля 2018 г.
I can`t promise that in two years you`ll have your brother back. I can`t. I can promise you, though, that we won`t stop trying. We`ll go the world over, wave every magic wand we can. And with every step, we`ll make sure we save as many people as possible from the same fate.

Look. You may have noticed I`m in suspiciously good shape for a man who sits in front of a computer all day. It`s not just so I look good in a suit. It`s part of a strict regimen I`ve kept for myself. Of exercise. Of diet. Of sleep. I`ve got everything down to the rep, the heart rate, the calories, the minute. I do it because I want to make sure I don`t slip. I want trip wires all over my life so if the demon`s still in there, I can tell if it starts taking over, and so you can tell, too. You catch me eating a piece of cake and it`s not someone`s birthday, you lock me away. Yeah?

He wasn`t sure when he`s stopped calling his friends, or returning their calls. They must have stopped trying to reach him after a while, but he couldn`t pinpoint the precise moment it happened. At the time, he felt like he was making tiny decisions. He`d receive a message, a voicemail, a text, something. Then he`d think to himself, I`d just rather stay in tonight. But now he saw how all those decisions added up. He`d walked out of the crowd, step by step, over the years, and kept walking, and now he was alone.

"I`ve seen men and women end up like Perry. I have friends the world forgot, as if they were never born. When I was your age I thought I could get to the bottom of all this. But there`s no bottom. It just keeps going down."
"I`m ready for that."
He laughed. "You have no idea what you`re saying." But he held out his hand, and she took it. "Welcome to the team."141 - RamingoWS30 июня 2018 г.
"The world`s bigger than most people know," Menchu said. "Imagine we live on an island in an ocean full of monsters. most of the time we`re safe from the monsters but sometimes the tide rises. Sometimes the monsters cause big waves. Sometimes people dig channels that run out into the deep ocean, and hungry things come in. Sometimes they mean to; more often it`s an accident. These channels take the form of — artifacts. Book, often. Anything that connects one mind to another."

She`d met people on this very train who told her with overwhelming conviction that they were the product of genetic experimentation by the United States government using alien DNA, and they`d built a prototype transport beam to take them home, which they`d show her if she visited the compound in Jersey they shared with their four lovers chosen to embody the classical Chinese elements. As if she`d trust someone who asked her to go to Jersey.
