One of his hands lashed out as he passed, tipping Adnanters statue to shatter on the floor. Nothing in comparison to what I will do to the real thing. He thought darkly as he headed down towards the council chamber.

“You’ve been inside?” “I’ve been everywhere in that house,” Nathan said quietly. “You don’t forget where the ghosts live.” Vanessa joined us halfway through the planning, her presence grounding me in ways I didn’t realize I needed. She dropped her purse on the floor, lit a cigarette, and leaned over the table. “So, let me get this straight,” she drawled. “We’re talking about breaking into a dying man’s study to dig through his skeletons before Daniel gets the chance to clean them out?”
