Chapter 89 Suspicions

If Kadeem's mind hadn't been so focused on Ardal last night, he might have already accomplished this small, but necessary, bit of detective work on his to-do list, but alas.
• The plan was simple enough, although it required some delicacy. He needed only to confirm the mark Silas had identified on Rayburn's shoulder. He'd already directed Riley and Mateo to research the rune - now he had to just be sure they had the right rune. For all he knew, the pompous ass tattooed a Caduceus on his shoulder.
