Chapter 83

That was a bet Zak lost.

Rowley was behaving much as he had in the past. Aggressively. Seeking out answers. Staring down human authority with barely a blink of an eye. Maybe Zak had overestimated the depth of emotion between him and Darby Bell, though all his information told him they were just friends. But friends weren’t as intimate in public as they had been. Of course, Zak’s informants also claimed that Darby Bell had been out gambling with another man, so maybe his facts weren’t entirely straight. The only way he would know for sure would be to see it with his own two eyes.

Which couldn’t happen. If Edmund Rowley knew Zak was in town, one of them would be ash before the stake fell.
