In Marvel, the System Worked for a Living

They had left the camp over twenty minutes ago.

Geralt suddenly stopped.

He turned.

And stared at a dense thicket nearby.

"Come out," Geralt said. "Don't make me say it twice."

Silence. It was as though he were talking to the air.

"I mean you no harm..." the figure said.

"It's you." Geralt sounded a little surprised.

"Why are you following me?" Geralt asked.

He kept his gun raised.

"My name is Kara White. The missing David White is my younger brother," Kara said sadly. "Those rich bastards only care about their heir. They don't care who else lives or dies. I just want to save my brother."

"I'll give you one more chance to come up with a better story."

After a brief hesitation, Kara said, "I lied about that. Have you heard of Demon Hunters?"

Geralt said, "Uh..."

Susan had called Geralt "Mr. Winchester" in the Gates Group conference room. Kara must have heard it too. So why hadn't she reacted to the name
