I highly doubt Beth’s going to pick up on Lockheed’s summons now (especially since she still thinks that Lockheed intentionally bailed out on her when that REALLY wasn’t the case), but something else tells me that her determination and drive to beat Savage might just end up winning out in the end. She’s just as desperate to find and defeat Savage as she is at “avenging” herself and “restoring” her honor after the previous “defeats”…..which could end up making her play perfectly into Lockheed’s hands, should the latter genuinely choose to backstab Savage by leading Sapphire Angel to them and serving them up to the heroine on a silver platter.

(jokingly) Maybe then Sapphire will actually start taking a shine to Lockheed and let her do whatever she wants with her—okay, no, I’m kidding. She DEFINITELY doesn’t seem like the type of person to do that.

My personal opinion is that Lockheed should attempt to betray Savage by engineering yet another showdown between him and Sapphire Angel; one where Sapphire (hopefully) wins this time. Then, Sapphire and Lockheed can make amends, the Savage Gang will be finally taken down for good, and the two women can part ways on (relatively) peaceful terms. But knowing how much longer we have to go in this novel, that probably isn’t the case. Would be a heck of a team-up, though. And somehow Wayne Steele & the Justice Seekers could get word of it too, and attempt to intercept the Savage Gang during the battle for a three-faction fight!

I know this is (technically) just their first novel, but I’m legitimately interested in the Justice Seekers arc, to see what ultimately ends up happening to them. Are they actually as great as they say? Are they just a wannabe vigilante group who only exist to prove how much better Sapphire is than them? Should the Savage Gang even be worrying about them at all? Those kinds of things.

I suppose I’ll find out, won’t I? Catch you on the flip side!
