Chapter 11

“Agent Dreswick.” His tone made it clear that it should’ve been obvious.

I nodded, filing away that piece of information. “Well, I can assure you that what I told you yesterdayevening is accurate. But I can scry again, if that’s what you want.”

He stared at me hard, then dropped his gaze to where his fingers trailed along the edge of my desk. Aftera moment, he looked right into my eyes. “I can help you with that,” he said, his words heavy with meaning.
