“Branch? You ask about a branch?â€� Gabby practically spat the words. “We are anonymous. We are legion. My branch does not exist, and yet it is everywhere.â€� Buttons squinted at Gabby, but before he could object, she added, “What I mean to say is that I am as anonymous as Sunday.”

“Please let go, Tommy. I may need to move with some suddenness, and—as I said—it is safer for you behind me, not holding onto me.â€� He nudged me with the end of his cane. I felt an immense power as the cane touched me. If you've ever been near a lightning strike or inside an electricity station you'll know what I mean. It wasn't being touched by power; it was being touched by the presence of power.”
