Terence did breath a little easier at that. He even managed a small, albeit awkward, chuckle at the comment about fighting a war. "Thanks." Of course it didn't pass him that Cass didn't give up his source, but he didn't really expect that he would in the first place.
Higgs nodded and knew he was going to have to think about what to tell Cass. He didn't need a tail on him, if he didn't already have one, but he didn't really want to deny Cass the information either. He could always pin it on someone else- like Carmichael or something...
He nodded slowly, listening to Cass' theories. "Well I'll do what I can," he told him. He knew he could never go to his father with this. His father would order that they hire someone like the Remorseless Dragon to kill Cass and that wasn't something Higgs was willing to have done.
