Chapter 80: The Scent Of Blood (1)
Cassian couldn’t describe what he felt after listening to the information Geoffrey had to give. He felt insecure about something, and when he pushed on, wanting the bald-man to reveal what else he knew about those people, Geoffrey admitted with all honesty that he had no further information to give other than what he had told them.
