"Who told you--"
"Contacts, Elena. I'm a regular Rolodex of supernatural contacts. Point is, I know where Hargrave is hiding out. That got me thinking. If I gave you that information, you might be willing to do a little something for me in return."
"So I do this 'little something' for you, and you give me an address, and I show up to find Hargrave cleared out a week ago..."
"Uh-uh. If you agree to the deal, I tell you where to find Hargrave right away. Not only that, but I wait until you have him, and then you do the favor for me. Everything's on the up and up with this one. I don't con anyone who can rip out my liver with her bare hands."
"What's your end, then? What do you want?"
"It...takes some explaining. Come to Buffalo tomorrow and I'll tell you."
"Buffalo? Too far. Meet me halfway, in Rochester."
"Buffalo is halfway. I'm in Toronto. Your hometown, if I remember the compound records. Hey, maybe you can recommend a good sushi--"
"What are you doing in Toronto?"
"That's were the, uh, service would take place. Should make it easier for you, right? Operating on familiar ground? Anyway, I'm here setting it up, so I'll meet you halfway, in Buffalo, tomorrow. Got a place all picked out. Nice and public. A daytime meeting. Absolutely nothing for you to worry about...so there's no need to bring the boyfriend."
"Uh-huh."
"I like all my limbs where they are."
I rolled my eyes. Clay mouthed something, but I waved him off and took down the time and address from Xavier.
