âNo offense to your awesome planning skills, Sara,â Ezekiel said, âbut you have no idea where he is.â
âBut we know someone who might,â said Sara darkly.
âWe do?â
She looked toward the door. âOur new watcher is a Red Lion mercenary.â
âThatâs true,â Ezekiel said, coming up to stand beside her. âBut itâs a large company. He might not have any idea who Hillan is.â
âAnd he might be his best friend,â 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 wasnât going to kill someone.
âLook, Iâm just going to talk to him,â she explained. âIf heâs amicable, nothing unsavory needs to happen.â
Ezekiel narrowed his eyes while crossing his arms. âAnd if heâs not?â
Sara turned her dark gaze on him. âIâm 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.â
âAll Iâm saying is donât put the cart before the horse, and donât kill a Red Lion guard and bring the whole company down on your head in retaliation,â he said flatly.
She cocked her head. âWhat makes you think I havenât already?â
A frustrated look crossed Ezekielâs face. âThis is nothing to joke about.â
âIâm not joking. I killed a rithmatist and a necromancer on the same night. They should fear me. Iâm not sure the necromancer had anything to do with the Red Lion guard, but the rithmatist did, and theyâre certainly aware heâs dead now. So I need every piece of information that I can get before I leave this city. Got me?â
Ezekiel nodded reluctantly.
âCan you call him in?â
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, didnât help matters. His hand tensed near his weapon, but he didnât stop Ezekiel from closing the warehouse door.
Standing between Ezekiel and Sara, the man was silent. She didnât move toward him because she knew it would be taken as an outright threat.
Instead she spoke from where she stood. âIâm not here to hurt you. I just need some information.â
The manâs face turned to stone. âIs that why you hired me? For information?â
Sara tensed. âNo, actually. Some interesting developments have recently come to light tonight, though, and I believe youâre just the man to help shed more light on them.â
He turned to her fully and said, âI donât know you. Why should I help you?â
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.
âBecause we can pay you. I can pay you. Mercs like money, right?â he said.
The man spared him a glance. âHow much money?â
âEnough to make your next week one to remember,â said Ezekiel.
