Chapter Sixteen

I was ready when Cassius showed up, not a hard feat since I didn’t rest well.

“Hey…” I greeted, letting them in. “Come with me. I have some things to show you.”

“I couldn’t find anything useful last night,” he said as we gave each other a once over to make sure everyone was alive and uninjured as they had been the night before. Sorcha was behind him, holding a mug and quiet. Her eyes were attentive, but she seemed tired.

“You okay?” I asked.

“Tired,” she said with a small smile. “I stayed up later than he did.” She shook her head. “I didn’t find anything either.”

“Well, let’s go to my office, and we’ll talk. Raphael should be up soon.” As we passed Raphael’s door, I knocked on it and heard him say something. “We’ll be in my office,” I explained through the door. “Find us when you’re ready.”

We were quiet as I showed them where they could sit, and Sorcha threw a glance back down the hallway.

“How was he last night?” she asked this time.

“He had new memories come back. I think that’s why he was so quiet last night,” I explained. “I’m not going to force him to share those memories or share them without his permission, so you’ll have to wait on him to offer.”

“That’s okay,” Cassius said, not sitting down. He looked at my work board. “You made a second one.”

“Yeah. I needed to clear my thoughts, and this helps me weed out useless information and gets me to the parts that matter. I can see the entire situation unfold right in front of me.”

“Where did you learn some of this?” I could hear the frown in his voice as he leaned close to the Board where I wrote down much of what Hisao told me.

“We’ll get to that,” I promised.

When Raphael walked into the office, I didn’t say anything. He had woken me up twice the night before, screaming in his sleep from nightmares. His new memories must have given him a fresh new hell to relive. He fell into my seat behind the desk as though he owned it, also staring at the board. I watched him frown like Cassius and get back up.

“Where did this come from?” he asked, pointing at my section labeled Cambions, everything I now knew about his kind.

“Last night, I talked to an old friend. He’s close to Hasan and knows him very well. He offered me some information. Everything there is something Hasan told him. Or…the Politician or General might have told him.”

“You spoke to the Assassin,” Cassius said simply, turning to me, folding his arms behind his back. “How was it talking to your old master?”

“He was forthcoming about what he knew.”

“The Assassin…the werecat who trained you,” Raphael clarified, and I could hear the hope that he was right. “Hisao.”

“Let’s not say his name for safety reasons,” I said quickly. “There’s a reason Hasan’s children have nicknames, and we’re going to use them today because I’m not supposed to know this information.
