The Jezebel Files

Once Levi left, Arkady and I hashed out the best approach, while Rafael and Priya worked on their respective tasks. We threw out Arkady posing as my bodyguard, because it was too overtly aggressive, and also, we didn't want to tip our hand of his abilities if things went south.

If you were getting married, you'd want to know what happened to your father and if there was any way of contacting him to be there." 


Priya's laptop binged. "Holy cow," she said. "We got a hit." 


I'd asked Pri to look into it, but had given up on finding anything. "Seriously?"
