What?! WHAAAAT?!! Ace got shot? I didn't realize that was what happened in the last sentence of the first part! I was. Extremely shocked by that. I've only read the first sentence at this point, but I had to record my reaction before reading further.
Daly's contemplation of "demerits" was the first thing to make me feel certain that these two are not from this world. The "imaginary boulder" incident in the first chapter made me suspect it, as well as their conduct, but this slightly detached reaction to Ace's death made it clear to me. If not from out of this world, they're at least knowledgeable of things from out of this world, or supernatural things.
I'm very intrigued as to who or what this "Fear" is, and what it has to do with a Green Lantern pendant. I'm up to the --- break, and I believe they're implying that they're going to resurrect him somehow. Which is good, because I kind of got to know Ace in the first chapter, and I was feeling a bit disappointed that he was dead already. Well, I'll see.
So it seems "Fear" and "Chaos" are two separate factions...
Don't "Phobos" and "Demos" mean "Fear" and "Chaos"? Are these people perhaps from Mars or the moons of Mars?
I had to look up the definition of ley lines, but as soon as I found out what they were, I thought that was a REALLY cool concept.
Oh, and I had a suspicion that the girl was Steph as soon as I read "cherry-red lips." You're doing a good job of connecting little details in this story so far.
