One thing you learn fast in Haven is that no one wants a Trouble. [He thinks of Nathan, which flickers into thoughts of Jordan, then to dozens of other Havenites. It circles back on Audrey, of course. James, the Barn, the Hunter storm. Nobody had wanted any of that. Ignore the crazy Troubled people who used Curses to their advantage.] Well, almost nobody.
[There were people like Harry Nix, like Arla Cogan, who had been amoral even before their Troubles kicked in, and had become monsters after they did.
And Allison is starting to sound like Simon, like the Rev's men did when they pushed Roy - not always wrong but far too black and white for the varied spectrum of his morality. Duke doesn't agree, just nods a little.]
I don't know if your world has Troubles. If it does, it makes sense there would be Argents, and in Haven there's a reason there are Crockers - but hell, wouldn't it be great if they didn't need us?
[He doesn't stop smiling, but his face loses its humor.] You should see what happens with a splash of Troubled blood.
