>"That DIDN'T answer my question," Derek replied his
jaw tightening.

Sloan just looked at him and then looked back at the
house as they walked.  That was the only answer the
Precept was going to get.  But that didn't stop him
from making a very valid and probably volitile point.

They had to do something about the seplicurs.   

"They do nothing but bring pain.  I would think you
would be the last person that would keep all of them
under the same roof as-"

He looked at Julia for a brief moment and then back at
the house.  He wouldn't say it right out but the point
was there.  Under the same roof as Derek's wife and
unborn child.  Sloan may have the habit of being a
hard ass but even he knew what it must have felt like
to have faced the days after Julia's death, knowing
how Derek felt about her since then.

> Julia gently squeezed his hand, having a feeling
that was the only answer Derek was going to get, and
looked at Sloan, asking quietly "When do you two have
to leave?"

"The sooner the better, for everyone." he said.
