are we watching them?”
The Fore handed her a file. A little strange how he almost seemed to ignore Armand’s presence. Maybe he was still cross with her partner. “As you may be aware, the balance has been off lately. Limited communication with the Damned office reveals they sense it too. They gave us the impression they knew what the problem was, but in six months it hasn’t righted itself. In fact, it’s grown steadily worse.” He tapped the file. “Turn to page six. Our Ibetweener contacts tell us Miss Parker was born under a prophecy to ‘right the balance’.”
“Seems a bit straight forward for prophecy.” Armand finally piped up.
“Quite right, Armand.” The Fore finally glanced over, only for a moment. Giselle found herself a touch offended. They were a pair, why was the Fore only addressing her? “This particular Inbetweener is rather bad at subtlety. She owns a voodoo shop on Bourbon Street.”
“Oh.” Giselle muttered. “That one.”
“I take it you’ve heard of her?”
“Said something about me being ‘fit for the cause’ at our introduction.” Giselle said, shaking her dark waves back. What the woman had said next still stung, but she made sure her face was calm. They always said her emotions, while admirable, were a hindrance to her work.
“She then turned around and told me I wasn’t quite ready.” Armand finished, rolling his eyes.
“Did she say which cause?” the Fore asked, narrowing ice blue eyes.
“No,” they said together.
The Fore sighed, addressing Giselle again. “You shouldn’t discount her. She has a reputation for a reason.”
“Yes, sir.” Armand cut in again. This time, the Fore didn’t even look over. “Just seemed strange, since we were already working for a cause.”
“I see.” The Fore eyed the pair before him with steely eyes. “Well, you’ve your orders. Find Samantha and Eli, follow them, assess the threat.”
“Do we report once we’ve found them?” Giselle asked.
“Just follow them until…” the Fore paused, and then shook his head. “For two weeks. Get a feel for their motives and goals. Then report back.”
