Callan is such a cool dude. His perspective on the world is very very compelling and inviting and fun.

Also talk about some awesome armor that I wish I could get my hands on.

“The drug won’t kill him, but it’ll ruin his day.” This needs to be a line doctors and dentists use. So good.

I keep thinking it has to be someone who is either trying to frame the attack as Firstborn action, or a rogue Firstborn because if it was actually Firstborn and organized, wouldn’t it have been significantly more devastating?

Can't wait to see Callan and more of our 'heros' interact

I love living in Callan's head. "His impromptu roommate noisily voids his bowels." I laughed aloud in public and looked like a crazy.

...another fav word line up: ““At first opportunity, he also chucks the phone and watch he picked up when he got here. These people and their leaky networks. If the Feds are here, they’ll have cracked open the whole thing like a beer cooler to take whatever they want.” Ain’t it the truth?

The question is, if I was grabbed and drugged unconscious by an invisible man in a public restroom, would I spend the $500 I find in my pocket when I wake? Would I tell anyone? I wouldn’t want to spend that money. I’d worry what it was payment for, and worry that spending it would equal my consent for some unknown service I provided in my blacked out state... but also - $500 would get me a lot of tacos.
