"Please tell me this is another one of your sad attempts at humor."

Kelsey stared into Tobias' eyes as she spoke, but even as she said it, she knew he was serious. It wasn't that he didn't have a sense of humor. He did, but he was so serious, so solemn, that when he did make a joke, it was usually so obscure, only he understood the humor. But Kelsey knew, as odd as most Hunters were, even Tobias wasn't this strange.

Kelsey wouldn't have been called to England unless Tobias was dead serious. Brendain was the home of the original Council. All serious Council issues were addressed here. The Council itself met at Brendain every other month, like clockwork. No more, unless there was emergency.

Kelsey shouldn't have needed to return to England for another month, easy. It wasn't that she didn't like being at Brendain. She did. Centuries old, Brendain was both awe-inspiring and comforting. Well, under most circumstances.

Right now Kelsey didn't feel at all comforted. She felt irritated and pissed off.

"None of the others can even locate him, much less get close enough to speak with him," Tobias said quietly. "I have a feeling you can."

Tobias was a quiet man, a strange one. Black hair, unreadable black eyes, surrounded by an aura of power that would unsettle most people, gifted or otherwise. Kelsey didn't know what form he took when he shifted, but she could imagine he was one hell of a predator. That power was combined with an enigmatic quality that Kelsey hadn't encountered very often. There was almost something fey about him.

Even after knowing him for close to fifty years, she barely understood him.

All that aside, Kelsey trusted him, completely and implicitly. And she knew he did not ask for things lightly.

But, damn it, wasn't there somebody else he could ask?

Kelsey looked down, staring at the huge russet and gold rug that covered the stone floors of the Council's meeting room. It was priceless, several hundred years old, just like much of the furniture and art in Brendain. But try as she might to focus on it, the lovely rug couldn't hold her attention. Feeling Tobias staring at her, she looked up at him with a glare.

Propping her hands on her hips, she lifted her chin and met his black eyes. Through gritted teeth, she said, "I probably could."

Arching a black brow, Tobias simply stared at her, waiting. The look in his black eyes assured her he would wait forever, if he had to.

Kelsey was patient. And under most circumstances, she was calm and steady. But Tobias was one of few who made her feel nervous and unsure of herself.

More than seventy years old—and he could look at her and make her feel like she was ten years old. Spinning on her heel, she stalked over to the huge window that dominated the southern wall. She pressed her forehead to the cool pane of glass and closed her eyes.

Go after Malachi.

She didn't want to see Malachi. He bothered her.
