Ocean's Breath Plateau i.xii : who was found dead on the phone

She didn't like the implications one bit, and narrowed her eyes slightly. We made a deal with her, Maegi responded curtly. She's the one that offered. She told us that she'd call off the Redhawks, spare all but Mou, if we helped her. She escaped with us through the tunnels--far from where the Redhawks entered, I think. I never saw or heard them.

The Melonii straightened, slightly, giving the man a gimlet stare. The Redhawks mortally wounded my father, you know, she continued, every syllable halting and frozen. Was he really dead? Killed my great-uncle, too--my old mentor. Maybe they had blood on their paws, maybe not, but they were family. My family. And your family killed them. She sucked in a long breath. So you can see why I'd not be so keen to come face to face with your warriors.

She shook her head, crossing her paws. I treated your sister kindly, Maegi declared silently. Whatever devious picture you might have in your mind of me is wrong.
