Politics of Blood (Gray Spear Society, #8)

"It's a very good thing. What's happening with the twins' project?" "It's moving along. They were... transformed since the last time you saw them." "I know," Wesley said enthusiastically. "I can't wait to see them again. I'm sure they're beautiful." "I suppose that's true, if you like exotic robot girls. Are you planning on coming back to Chicago anytime soon?" Please say no, Aaron thought. "Yes! I have to be there when the twins finish the project. The whole thing will be amazing." "Oh," Aaron said nervously. "In what way?" "I can't tell you. Destiny gets mad when I talk too much. I wish I didn't have to wait! The final days will be messy, but everything will be so much better afterwards. You won't have to live behind a wall of secrets. You and Marina will be together until the end of time. Oops! Forget I told you that." Aaron raised his eyebrows. "That's hard to forget." "I have to go," Wesley said. "Oh, I'm sorry about Kamal. He's a nice guy, but sometimes nice isn't enough. You'll do the right thing. Bye." The call abruptly ended. Aaron sighed. Every time he talked to Wesley, he was frightened and confused afterwards. This time was no different. Final days of what? How the hell did he know about Kamal?
