"Good instincts, or supernatural intelligence networks?" Nathaniel asked, his businessman's mind already working through the implications. "If the Council has been monitoring supernatural crimes through human law enforcement, how deep does this go?" Rick's newly awakened senses picked up on Casie's spike of anxiety before she consciously felt it herself. Through their bond,

“This is a tricky one, but we’ll get to the bottom of it.” I shook his hand, the rough texture of his palm a stark contrast to the smooth silk of Laura’s dresses.
