Rick doesn't want to think of any situation that puts 'dead human' and 'useful' in the same sentence. He had the very bad feeling it would be even worse than Decapitron's stories of old Afzel the sorceror. "Well, that got to be TMI really fast."
Blade can't imagine anyone with a good use for dead humans, and thinks he'd be one to know given the use he had for them all those years ago, when he was still Dr. Hess.
Patrick's definitely uncomfortable too. Bad enough the kid rifles through their minds like an open-book library, but... "You think the dead crazy woman's the problem?"
That was the result of solving a problem Jester comments.
The problem is if the police show up and get killed by Totems or Servants, Tunneler adds.
"Or just try to deal with things way out of their pay grade and get in the way," Patrick agrees, though he's also thinking of the paranormal research team he and his sister were part of. As far as Caroline would know, she was the only survivor.
"Worse, dead or not, right now she's our only lead," Rick says. There had been a Totem at the house, so they know she had ties to Sutekh... or his cult, given that they'd killed Sutekh himself ten years ago. It's possible they might need the police to identify the assassin in order to figure out how she got involved. Either that, or they'd be stuck with waiting until the cult realizes she's not going to be answering any more phone calls and sends something else. However he's no longer comfortable with saying anything else out loud near Mordred, for all the good that would do. "It's time we got back to the hospital," he says to Patrick. They needed to plan. Away from someone who seemed way too eager to follow them for the chance to get to any resulting dead bodies.
