After ducking his Ministry-sanctioned shadows, it had been a relatively short flight to Tuscany. Cade had decided against apparating straight to the Zabini Estate on the off chance that there was an Auror detail keeping watch there that night. And he'd also heard some chilling things about the bewitchments used for security on the sprawling property.
It proved difficult but not impossible to get into the manor proper, though Cade knew if it weren't for his Auror training, he wouldn't have made it to the front door at all. It took nearly fifteen minutes from landing to entry, but soon enough, Cade was seated comfortably in Blaise's study in plush leather chair and with a brandy in his hand. He expected Blaise would be wandering in soon enough. He'd enjoy his drink and the solitude.
