"Fine," he said quietly, as if he was giving up. He unfolded his arms and leaned back against the couch as if it was done. Elias was already halfway there and he could grab the envelope.

"Sorry," he told Artemis as he lowered the dart gun. Hopefully, whatever it was worked fast and would keep her from were-ing out.
