Powerful and wealthy. That was pretty much the same conclusion Skulduggery had come to, Tanith was sure. The same people who'd tried to have Solomon killed twice, tried to use Marr to blow up the Sanctuary... definitely people to be reckoned with.

"We don't usually have witness protection," Tanith said with a bit of a grimace. "For that exact reason, actually. The kind of people we deal with aren't usually people who need it. Or want it. Or think it would actually help."

"But no one cares about Marr," Valkyrie jumped in quickly. "Seriously. She was evil. I think even she wanted Tesseract to catch her. Good news all round."

"No one's shedding any tears over Marr," Tanith agreed. "But we got Tesseract anyway. Thanks, Saffron. You did more than we were expecting, actually. These are really good." She waved the papers in the air and gave Saffron a kind smile. The ex-Necromancer was actually kind of adorable when you didn't associate her with the Temple. Her obvious eagerness to help, the fact that she seemed surprised at herself for even wanting to. Yeah, she was going to be fine. It would take time and practice and patience, but then, so did anything worth having in life.
