Betrayer
Praetor Noah asked.
Carl looked as if he’d been slapped before he hid it behind his stuffy superior mask. “Yes I do,” he said with a sniff. “Seeing as her current leads have proven to be a waste of time, I’ve decided to develop my own. Following Sam’s train of thought, the Betrayer having abandoned all patterns and is doing things completely different this time around, I believe we should look into women as well as men,” he said, looking directly at me.
I stared at him in surprise, not sure if he had a valid reason to suspect me or if he was just screwing around. There was no doubt though, he’d be looking into me. “A woman? That’s impossible! Balric is a male,” I exclaimed.
