Erskine was liking the idea of being an Elder less and less. If merely being disgruntled was, for some people, a good enough reason to try and blow up the Sanctuary... well, he didn't want to be anywhere near it. He'd made quite a few people disgruntled the other day just by firing them.
Solomon didn't seem to think that was the case, though. And with the way Skulduggery's head tilted, the skeleton detective agreed. "You don't know who hired you?"
"Why are we assuming anyone hired her?" Erskine asked. "Who gains from the destruction of a Sanctuary?"
"I don't know. But something like this right after someone hired Billy-Ray Sanguine to attack Elder Wreath? That's not a coincidence." Skulduggery changed his mind about the chair, pulled it back, and sat down. "Marr, you're many things, but stupid isn't one of them. Even if you did hold a grudge that strong, you're not going to blow up the Sanctuary on the strength of a note from someone you don't know. You had to have met them at least once. So is it that you won't tell us who they are?" He leaned forward. "Or that you can't?"
