Chapter 232: Chapter 223 – A New Day

“Two hours.” Rissa spoke into her phone as she came down the hallway, “Two hours is all we can spare. Unless you have a crew that wants to do the interview at Pelham Bay Park? We’ll be there- no, nothing’s wrong with the park. It seems to be a new high-magic zone.”

Rissa pulled out the chair opposite Serenity’s and sat at their new kitchen table. “Yes, electronics work there. It doesn’t behave like a dungeon, it’s not closed off.” She paused, listening to the voice on the other side. “Fine, six then. We’ll meet your team at the golf house.”

Once she hung up the phone, Rissa tossed it on the table. “Why don’t people call you directly?”

Serenity shrugged. “I guess they think I won’t answer? I admit it is kind of a pain to work a phone these days.”

“Hah. You mean you just don’t bother to answer unless you know who’s calling.” Rissa’s skepticism was obvious.

She was correct. “So, who was that?”

“One of the news directors with channel six. After the last interview, they’ve apparently wanted to do another, but of course everyone’s been preoccupied with the Hegemon Worms.” Rissa paused, then seemed to change gears. “How is that going by the way? I think you said you thought you’d have all the worms in the city under control by this morning?”

Serenity sipped his coffee. It was hot and black, neither of which seemed to matter as much as he remembered. It also wasn’t as good at waking him up. “Yeah, got the last one to visit an urgent care before bed last night. I’ve been working on releasing the dominations this morning.”

Rissa leaned close to Serenity's face. “You look exhausted.”

“Ehh.” Serenity waved the concern off. “You know I haven’t been sleeping well. The memories-”

“You said you were going to clear the rest out last night.”

“I did!” Serenity protested. “It’s just … by the time I was done, it was … well, it was half an hour ago.”

Rissa nodded and stood. “Then you’re going back to bed.”

“I need to get this done.” He really did. He’d put off dealing with the people the Hegemon Worm Queen had dominated but not infested for several days while he sent the people carrying worms in to have them taken care of, because he’d thought the domination wasn’t directly damaging. He was less confident in that now. He could feel the dominated fighting back, injuring themselves in the process. He needed to get them free.

“Sleep first. You make mistakes when you’re tired.”

Serenity glared at Rissa. He was perfectly capable now, even if he was tired! He was -

He was about to throw a tantrum like a three-year-old who didn’t want to take a nap. Serenity deflated with a sigh. “Fine.”

As they walked down the hall, he pulled up his Status and shared a line with Rissa. “I think you’ll like this one.”
