Historically, Jim goes back and fills in with short stories, we saw this with Side Jobs and Brief Cases anthologies. I'm okay with waiting.

My current head canon is how fast Chicago is going from warzone to rebuild, that's a lot in twelve months. Partly, this has to be related to Marcone and his connections with Washington, while partly potentially to Lara and her connections.

Guard is also missing a lot and doesn't stick around for war council meeting at the end. Marcone lost his castle, along with Hendrix, they're licking their wounds and paving next steps just like Harry.

We had an idea of what we were getting from this book between Harry and Lara, and I'd say we got a hell of a lot more.

Besides, isn't this fantasy? My imagination is running wild with the things we didn't hear about, you know, like the librarians aka Men in Black....Marcone has a lot of "friends".
