Owen raised an eyebrow. "Then why did you stick with him?"
Hazel smiled. "I thought I saw potential in him."
Owen's mouth twitched. "I thought much the same about you." And then he frowned
again.

"Oh, hell, Owen, now what? I swear, you know more ways to depress yourself than
anyone I've ever met."
"I was just thinking about Finlay Campbell. We should have included him on this trip."
"We've been through this, Owen. The man is obsessed. He's sworn a vendetta against
Valentine. Sworn to kill the man, on his blood and on his honor. If we're to keep our
options open down there, we can't afford to have the Campbell anywhere near us. He's
always beenтАж erratic. They tried using him as a bounty hunter, but he always brought
them back dead. Sometimes in pieces. Last I heard, his girlfriend, Evangeline, was
trying to get him interested in politics. God help Parliament, that's all I have to say."
"He fought beside us. He was a hero of the rebellion, just like us. And Valentine wiped
out his whole Family. It doesn't feel right, keeping this from him."
"Owen, we hardly know the man. You're the one who wants to bring Valentine in alive.
If the Campbell were hereтАж"

There were still things she was keeping from Owen, partly because she didn't want him
getting upset, and partly because she still believed in keeping her own business to
herself. Ever since she'd first passed through the Madness Maze on the Wolfling World
and been changed forever, she'd been having problems with dreams. To begin with,
they had been just disturbing images, but more and more these days the dreams
persisted into her waking world, and she couldn't push aside the thought that they meant
something. Something important. She was dreaming every night now, clear and
distinct, and she couldn't tell if she was seeing the past or the future. It was as though
Time was unraveling in her head, in the darkest hours of the night, when her defenses
were at their weakest. Something in her mind was showing her things, and wouldn't let
her look away.
While on Mistworld, she'd dreamed of the Empire invasion hours before it actually
happened.
Last night there had been three dreams, one after the other. First she dreamed of the
Blood Runners, the evil inhabitants of the dark Obeah worlds, far out on the Rim where
no one ever went, who'd once tried to kidnap her for their never ending experiments
