Shay slid the briefcase containing the stone over to the Professor with a smile. “There was a trap, by the way. It wasn’t so simple.”

The elf wasn’t with him this time, and neither was the tension. The rosy-cheeked man who was ready to turn into Father O’Banion after a few more beers had returned.

Smite-Williams took a long draw of his beer. “There’s always something, now isn’t there?”

“You still not gonna tell me what this is all about?”

“If you’re half as clever as I think you are you won’t need me to, Miz Carson.” He winked.

“And Correk?”

“What about Correk?”

“Is he gonna come after me now?”

The Professor barked out a laugh. “And why would he do that?”

“Because I know too much? He had some sort of elven Man-in-Black vibe. I don’t know.” Shay shrugged.

“A lot of people in this world know too much these days.” The Professor clucked his tongue. “The people responsible for holding back the truth of magic were never completely successful anyway. Don’t worry about Correk. I’m sure if you see him again, he’ll have come to help you. If you knew more about him, your opinion might change. He’s a good man.”

“There’s much I don’t know about a lot of the people who try to kill me. A lot of those might be considered good men.”

The Professor scoffed. “Correk’s not going to kill you.”

“Maybe.”

“Paranoia can be useful, Miz Carson, but only to a point.”

She winked. “I’m not dead yet, so it’s been pretty damned useful.”

Shay locked eyes with the Professor, again considering telling him about her stone, but decided against it. If anything, he’d probably already reasoned out that she had a stone and was offering her plausible deniability from Correk and his Elf Mafia buddies or whoever he worked for.

If she admitted to having the stone, he’d probably have to call his Light Elf buddy, and he’d drag her off to whatever passed for an ultramax in Oriceran.

No, some secrets were worth keeping.

The tomb raider slowly stood and shook her head. “Thanks for the money. Except for the whole almost-being-buried-alive thing, it was a pretty easy job.”

“Be well, Miz Carson, and know that every job you do for me does our world a service.”

“Keep paying me and I don’t care.”

A smug smile played across the Professor’s face. “Keep telling yourself that and maybe you’ll eventually believe it.”
