Maybe it would blow his cover. Maybe it wouldn't. He didn't know yet, and it didn't matter. His reaction would be the same. That ... thing should not exist.
"You promised me Gabriel," the Remnant was saying. "I fulfilled my end of the bargain, and I daresay you could use the insights of a mind-reader. Well? Shall we?"
