James nodded, sighing a bit. He said, “You know, when he and I were together, I DID think that we were… something special, you know? But… I didn’t know that he had even died. No one tells me these things. Too many damned secrets. … hell, I don’t even know what we’re doing in Aria. I don’t know what the general has planned.”
	I nodded, then suddenly felt an urge to shout, “BUT I KILLED HIM!”
	James blinked, then rubbed at his ears and said, “Neil, you didn’t kill him. Nick did.”
	“But the point is the man is dead!”
	“He got better.”
	“HOW DO YOU GET BETTER AFTER GETTING STABBED IN THE NECK?!”
	James simply shrugged.
