Returning home, Luke spent some time with his family around the dinner table before finally excusing himself.
"Where to?" Monica asked as she helped Ginna clear the dishes.
"Just making sure we're properly secured for the night." Luke glanced toward the door. He had to browse through a few new traps from the store that he wanted to try out. With a decent stockpile of Gamma Points, there was little reason not to spend some now rather than regret being unprepared later.
Given how events had unfolded so far, Luke wouldn't be surprised if Kalish sent his forces tonight, especially with his wife manipulating him and his son's emotional state pushing him toward retaliation.
If that happened, Luke needed to be sure that his family was safe before he went on a killing spree.
He liked Ilya, yes. She had a great personality, and she was a capable fighter. But nothing came before his family.
So he needed to be prepared.
