      “The fewer people who knew about her movements the better. Apparently, she’s the witness to a big Paranormal Council meeting taking place tomorrow in New York City.”

      Warner shrugged. “And that’s all I got. She has to get there on time and safely. Her testimony in a trial is key to putting away one of the most dangerous paranorms of this and other centuries.”

He has a gift of manipulating others to do his dirty work. Until recently. He had a member of the high council killed. They’re finally ready to put him out of their misery.”
