The public knew a lot about supernaturals But they hadn’t yet learned about sorcerers

Mallory looked at Catcher, squeezed his hand, then looked back at Malik "We know On the one hand, it can’t be helped And on the other hand, it’s about daic?" Scott asked "What’s their HQ?"

Luc switched the i’s current "roof" It was a square of concrete, one of the building’s previous upper floors, surrounded by the steel fraures e black structure that was partially hidden by a cloth Probably a drop cloth to keep it covered until they were ready to go

"It’s the sixty-eighth floor," Catcher said, stepping forward "They’ve got two construction elevators that go all the way to the top The CPD confirures on the floor, but they shot it down before they could confiran, the sorcerer, and supernaturals to keep them safe," Ethan said

"And possibly Sorcha," I said "She’s always at his side"

Ethan glanced ather into this?"

"I don’t think either of theer and safety He’s clearly crossed a line here--that division between his public and private personas--and may want to make a show of it for her"

"Maybe she’s involved in it," Morgan said

"We haven’t seen any evidence of that," I said, and flipped throughon her phone

"So potentially the four of them," Ethan said, "and at least three supernaturals"

"With heavy weaponry," Catcher added "He’ll have borrowed froood," Scott said "Because this wasn’t already an enorument there," Ethan said "He’ll control any sups within the boundaries who aren’t otherwise protected They’ll come at us, irrespective of their desire or their alliances, because the Circle wills it"

I wondered if iven me any protection Not that it an asked "We can’t take the with the CPD on that," Catcher said "They’ve been developing so we can use those, since these sups won’t have been fighting through any fault of their own"

"You have enough for the entire tea for word," Catcher said

"And speaking of the team," Ethan said, "we propose Catcher and Mallory, Jeff, Gabriel, Eli, Fallon, Morgan, Merit, and I go don" He looked at Scott and Jonah "Bringing the sups here will protect theures that, he may split his troops and attack here I’d appreciate it if you’d ith Luc and Malik to protect the House"

Scott druers on the table while he considered, then nodded "I’ll have lanced at Malik and Luc and nodded "We’ll do e can to keep everyone here and safe"

"Appreciated," Ethan said, then looked at Gabriel "You have any bodies you want to spare?"
