Winston and the ghosts, it seemed, had their own, rather strong opinions on the matter of these kidnappings. “If we can muster enough ghosts to do everything we need to,” Prae said, “There’s no reason not to.” He supposed he should have expected this from a ghost network that had been attached to Faith in particular. Looking at the ghosts now, he saw a few of them actually bore slave marks. It made a certain, tragic sense. Now that Faith was gone, they would want to take on her legacy, continue her work. He knew he was determined to, in his own way.
The question now was, how to divide the labor efficiently. Prae considered a moment. “What about this? Those who are willing to, and capable of carrying candy help with the rescue efforts, those who are not help sweep the city. We don’t need to search the entire city, either—no slaver is going to transport people to the sky quarter just to bring them back of the city. Let’s start searching the dust quarter first, and if you don’t find anything there, search the earth quarter, starting from the areas nearest to the gates.”
“Even if you can’t find any prisoners, finding empty cages, shackles, or suspicious carriages that lock from the outside would be helpful to help us identify the kidnappers that took all these people. If you see anything that might lead us to them, pass it on to Shinwa, and Shinwa, please compile the information and pass it on to Winston. Vivian and I will be able to receive it as well through the bond.”
