I could see it in the way he held himself, shoulders drawn in, as still as someone desperately trying to preserve body heat.He looked up when I came in.I crossed the room and crouched in front of him and held the gun where he could see it clearly.“Tell me about Cael Ashford,” I said.He looked at the gun before raising his gaze to me. Then he looked at the wall behind my left shoulder and said nothing.I stood up and went into the ceiling.The sound in the stone room was enormous, filling every corner and coming back at us from all directions, and the man flinched so hard his head hit the wall behind him.The plaster from the ceiling came down in pieces.I looked at him through the settling dust.“Tell me about Cael Ashford,” I said again.He pressed his lips together.His jaw was set hard and he was silent like someone who had been trained for this and wa
