Bab 758: Damien in Council (extra scene)

"Why don't you go through the black market if you need help?" asked the young man who sat in front of the head council who had been signing some of the papers and making plans for the next case as they weren't able to get the needed information to solve the case. 

Rueben looked up at the young pureblooded vampire, "You are suggesting to ask the thieves where and how they are attacking to steal?" 

"Why not? Some of the thieves will be more willing if you offer them a price. Give them insurance, a deal, or a treaty that the council won't break as an assurance," Damien who had picked up the crystal ball that was used to hold the papers down had been playing with it. With his head leaned back, he tried to look on the other side through it.
