“I learned a few things down there,” I said to them. They stood quietly, each obviously unwilling to be the first to speak. Niall and I were apparently projecting our mood well. “The goblin leader says that his people weren’t involved in the attempted attack on Siobhan.”

“Do you believe him?” Siobhan asked.

I shrugged. It was impossible to know for certain. “I think he was telling the truth, but even he admitted that he doesn’t know what all the goblins are doing. He as good as admitted that the Wisp attack could have been them. And maybe some other stuff.”

Fergie nodded. “That makes sense. The cases we’ve been taking on…so many potential supernatural events happening at once is unusual. Too unusual to be a coincidence.”

I nodded. “Ulm described it as goblins pushing at their boundaries. They want to come up to the surface, and a few of them are coming up to cause trouble.”

“More than a few,” Siobhan said. “We had three more potential cases come in while you were out.”

Marie looked from her to me. “Is three a lot? I mean, how often do these things come up?”

It was strange hearing her ask that. I had to remind myself that for all that she knew about the supernatural side of things, for all that she was Niall’s assistant and Fergie’s girlfriend, Marie was still only human.

“Not this often,” Niall supplied, coming up to us, “which is, in itself, enough to be worrying.”

“We’ll find a way to deal with it,” I said. I wasn’t sure if I was trying to reassure him, the others, or simply myself.

“Will we?” For once, Niall didn’t look perfectly controlled. That in itself was worrying. “We will find a way for you to deal with more situations than you have handled before, while these goblins plot in the background, the coven sends its people around to watch us, and you continue to obsess over your mother’s death?”

“I am not obsessing.” Probably. He certainly didn’t get to say it, anyway. After all, it had been his old girlfriend who had killed her. What was it Ulm had said? That Niall had a knack for attaching himself to power?

Maybe I would have said something, except that the door intercom chose that moment to buzz. Fergie hurried over to it, and then hurriedly let in whoever it was.

“Who is it, Fergie?” I asked.

“It’s the coven,” he said.

“I do hope we’re not interrupting anything.”

I nearly flinched as the coven’s three observers looked straight at me as they came in. Lucille Forrester, who’d spoken, was holding a stapled set of pages in one hand. Elizabeth and Flora flanked her. Elizabeth was looking around the office calmly. Flora looked a little less placid, as she observed everyone there with obvious suspicion.

The three of them were the last thing I needed right then. Having to be careful not to say the wrong thing, not to do the wrong thing…none of it fitted well with the argument I wanted to have with Niall over all this.
