Council member Emily Glasser had a dubious past. She made for the sort of person he’d known better than to trust since first meeting her many years earlier. Self-centered and cruel, she always looked for what she could get for herself out of every situation.

She also had as a brother Leopold Glasser, a wealthy Catholic Bishop who lived in Washington State to the North. Leopold had responsibility for keeping the Council’s coffers full and had become one of their largest proponents in recent years. Every year, he donated a fortune to the Council on behalf of the Church, and they considered him a prized friend. That made things so difficult on Frieda and Jun Lee in bringing a trial against Emily.

Emily had joined the Council on Leopold’s special request, which meant she could get away with a lot because of her familial ties. Drastically unqualified, she did not take her position seriously. She always seemed to avoid punishment because her brother felt she could do no wrong and made his donations contingent upon her position.

The Council felt terrified of angering Leopold because he had provided almost three-quarters of their annual operating budget. Such disgusting and blatant nepotism, and it infuriated Arthur to no end.

He’d hated Emily from the day they’d brought her into the Council, but he’d always justified it by believing Emily only held a token position. Never had he dreamed that they would give her any sort of true responsibility.

Arthur had never even considered her as a suspect in the betrayal of his family. He’d had a few names in mind when he went to confront Jun, but she hadn’t factored on his list. Emily should never have known his family existed, much less become privy to their location or tasked with protecting them. If he had felt certain of anyone who could never get raised to such status on the Council, it would have been Emily Glasser.

Yet, he didn’t feel half as furious at her as he did at Frieda for keeping him out of the loop. Frieda had known about Emily’s position. She should have warned him about Emily gaining access to familial information the moment the Council voted on it. Then he could have done something about it. He would have had the ability to protect his family. Perhaps he could have moved them, or made his home more secure, or done something to keep them safe.

Instead, she had kept him in the dark while his family got slaughtered, and even now, Frieda had attempted to keep from him the information he so desperately needed.

Could he ever forgive her?

In any case, he had a clear agenda now.

Find Emily Glasser.

As soon as Arthur got back on the street and away from the apartment, he called Frieda. She answered on the second ring.

“Hello?”

“You knew,” he said, shaking his head. “Frieda, how could you not tell me?”

The line fell silent for a full minute. “Arthur, let’s talk about this.”

“Why the hell would I talk to you now? You knew about Emily, and you didn’t tell me.
