"This war can end with the death of Jeff Ryan." Hawkins said

"But it doesn't have to." Deadeye said. "The kid ain't right. That's what worries me."

She prepared to strike, while listening outside.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Hawkins said.

"I don't know." Deadeye said. "That's up to Sgt. Alverara."

Destra kept eavesdropping.

"And what if Sgt. Alverara doesn't come back." Hawkins said. "What if he didn't survive the attack."

"He did, I know." Deadeye said.

What attack? Destra thought.

"James, you haven't seen Alverara since Jeff ordered the suicide bombing, you were there, you seen Ed....." Hawkins started.

"He survived! He didn't die! And don't call me James!" Deadeye shouted.

Wait, Jeff ordered a suicide bombin'? Destra kept listening, doubts beginning to nag at her.

"No one could of survived that Deadeye, it's time we take care of ourselves." Hawkins said.

"He's alive, I know it! I'll prove it!" Deadeye shouted.

Destra kept listening.

"How do you think anyone survived that?" Hawkins said. "Did you see how many bombs were attached to that man?"

"Jeff Ryan survived." Deadeye said.

"Jeff Ryan ordered it, he went outside for a smoke as soon as the bombing happened."

"You'll see Hawkins, you'll see."

Destra began wondering about Jeff.

"Jeff Ryan is a psychopath." Hawkins said. "If you wait and try to 'help' him, you're gonna die."

That seems to sum up what I've heard so far, Destra thought.

"I know what it's like to lose a brother." Deadeye said.

"Deadeye, you were in that strange condition for 6 months. Jeff has been in it for 7 years." Hawkins said. "No one's going to convince that boy his brother is dead. So unless we kill him, he's going to try to kill as many people as he can to try to recreate what his brother would have done."
