“No offense to your awesome planning skills, Sara,” Ezekiel said, “but you have no idea where he is.”

“But we know someone who might,” said Sara darkly.

“We do?”

She looked toward the door. “Our new watcher is a Red Lion mercenary.”

“That’s true,” Ezekiel said, coming up to stand beside her. “But it’s a large company. He might not have any idea who Hillan is.”

“And he might be his best friend,” said Sara calmly.

Ezekiel nodded and looked over at her with a pained expression on his face. The kind of expression that said he really hoped she wasn’t going to kill someone.

“Look, I’m just going to talk to him,” she explained. “If he’s amicable, nothing unsavory needs to happen.”

Ezekiel narrowed his eyes while crossing his arms. “And if he’s not?”

Sara turned her dark gaze on him. “I’m going to find out what happened to my father whether you help me or not. Whether this man is willing to tell me or not.”

“All I’m saying is don’t put the cart before the horse, and don’t kill a Red Lion guard and bring the whole company down on your head in retaliation,” he said flatly.

She cocked her head. “What makes you think I haven’t already?”

A frustrated look crossed Ezekiel’s face. “This is nothing to joke about.”

“I’m not joking. I killed a rithmatist and a necromancer on the same night. They should fear me. I’m not sure the necromancer had anything to do with the Red Lion guard, but the rithmatist did, and they’re certainly aware he’s dead now. So I need every piece of information that I can get before I leave this city. Got me?”

Ezekiel nodded reluctantly.

“Can you call him in?”

Ezekiel unfolded his arms and walked to his door to stick his head out. She paced away and back before the new watcher came back in.

As he walked through the door, the mercenary took in her agitated state. She knew her clothes, stiff with blood, didn’t help matters. His hand tensed near his weapon, but he didn’t stop Ezekiel from closing the warehouse door.

Standing between Ezekiel and Sara, the man was silent. She didn’t move toward him because she knew it would be taken as an outright threat.

Instead she spoke from where she stood. “I’m not here to hurt you. I just need some information.”

The man’s face turned to stone. “Is that why you hired me? For information?”

Sara tensed. “No, actually. Some interesting developments have recently come to light tonight, though, and I believe you’re just the man to help shed more light on them.”

He turned to her fully and said, “I don’t know you. Why should I help you?”

Sara was tempted to kick him in the shin and bring him to his knees with her knife at his throat. But she restrained herself. Barely.

Ezekiel read the tension in her body and quickly stepped around to face his new watcher.

“Because we can pay you. I can pay you. Mercs like money, right?” he said.

The man spared him a glance. “How much money?”

“Enough to make your next week one to remember,” said Ezekiel.
