Darker London

At first Percy hadn't believed a word Giles was saying. The idea that Marina could kill someone was a ridiculous one. Giles might as well have suggested he had learned how to go invisible and he had used those powers to steal the crown jewels. There was a kind of terrified sincerity on his brother's face, however, as Giles refused to change his story.

And Percy knew Giles was really only telling him to get him to stop seeing Marina, since he still believed they were together, but he couldn't help that the information terrified him.
