“She didn’t kill her parents.”
“I find that hard to believe. When the enforcers showed up to the house, they found her with a knife over her parents.”
“How was the council notified so quickly about the murder?”
Arrow shrugged. “Someone called in an anonymous tip.”
“You’re telling me someone called in a tip, and the council sent someone, and they got there fast enough to find her”—Talia pointed to the girl at the table—”with a knife in her hands, standing over her parents. Are you even listening to yourself?”
“Well, then, tell us who to look for.”
“I’m telling you she didn’t do it. If you are so convinced she did it, why am I here?”
“The council has protocols, and we need to follow them. We need a living witness to tell us what happened so we can prosecute her.”
Talia leaned her head back and closed her eyes. The council members did everything to cover their own asses. Maybe if Talia touched the knife again, she would get another vision.
This time, she would touch the knife where Alida had been holding it. Another section might give her a better vision of the true killer. Talia’s instinct told her the girl was innocent. But when she reached for the knife in Arrow’s hand, he stepped back and glared at her.
“Why do you need touch the knife again?”
Fuck. He is questioning my vision. She needed a reason to touch the knife a second time. Before she had time to answer, the door to the interrogation room slammed opened, and Gideon entered.
Gideon wore his long dark council robe and had his hands tucked in the sleeves, which made her incredibly wary. Talia had never disobeyed the council and always came running when they needed her, but since she’d received the call to come to the warehouse, everything had felt wrong. Her conscience wouldn’t let her see an innocent child convicted of something she hadn’t done. And if Talia went against the council, she would spend the rest of her life in jail down below, or they would kill her. She’d seen the council’s ways.
“Talia, we need to talk,” Gideon began in a low voice. She could tell he was struggling to control his anger. He didn’t even try to hide his disapproval. She waited to hear the worst.
