room. I waited just inside the door. “Who is it?”
    “It’s me. Let me in!” Georgina hollered.
    I opened the door, knowing that making the Laurent matriarch wait any longer than necessary would be a mistake.
    “Finally.” She strode right in. She had no problem taking charge even in my apartment. “Where’s my granddaughter?”
    “How’d you get up here?” I was going to have to double up on the security.
    “Of course the doorman let me up.”
    I refrained from a snappy retort. No member of The Society could say no to Georgina easily. She may have been human, but she was intense.
    “Georgina?” Casey walked out of my room wearing a pair of my gym shorts and a worn-in blue t-shirt. She looked cute, but I knew her grandmother wouldn’t agree.
    “Thank goodness.” Georgina wrapped her up in her arms. The two hugged for several moments before they finally broke apart. When Georgina picked her head up, I even saw tears sliding down her cheeks.
    “You got here fast.” Casey smiled. She already seemed to have developed a bond with her grandmother.
    “I came as soon as I could. I’m still trying to track down someone who knows how to reach Leviathan.”
    “Jared’s the only one who knows.” I’d heard Levi tell Jared not to mention it to anyone else.
    “Jared?” Georgina asked with confusion for a second, and I held in a laugh. “Oh. That’s Jett’s son.”
    “Yes.” Casey wiped her eyes. “But he’s unavailable.”
    “Unavailable.” Georgina set her large handbag down on the side table. “No one is unavailable to me.”
    Casey laughed silently. “He saved me and went back in to get rid of the boss.”
    “The what?”
    Casey and I exchanged a glance. Evidently no one had clued Georgina in. “You’re going to want to sit down for this.”
    “I could also use a cup of tea. You don’t happen to have any do you, Toby?”
    I smiled. She knew my name. “Actually I do. Earl Grey okay?”
    “Yes. That’s perfect.” She patted my arm. “I knew I liked you.”
    I left Casey and her grandmother alone while I went to make the tea. I knew that was what the request was really about. Georgina was good at finding excuses to keep people busy when she needed to.
    I took my time putting on the water. Having Georgina on my side was a good thing. If she wanted me with Casey she’d make things a lot easier for us. While I waited for the water to boil on the stove I started a pot of coffee. Casey would want some.
    I gave the two the space I knew they needed, but it was hard not to listen in. Georgina was worried, and I didn’t blame her. Something just wasn’t right with Casey.
    I tuned in and out of their conversation as I waited, and then the topic seemed to have changed to what had been happening with us. I poured two cups of coffee and the cup of tea for Georgina. I brought the tea and Casey’s cup in first. Casey smiled appreciatively when I set it down on the coffee table in front of her. She was sitting on the couch next to Georgina. I went back for my coffee before taking a seat on the love seat that was catty corner to the couch.
    Georgina turned to me as soon as I was seated. “Tell me more about the boss.”
    I took a sip of coffee. “There isn’t much to tell. No one seems to know who he is.”
    “You really don’t remember anything more, sweetie?” Georgina put a hand on Casey’s arm.
    Sweetie? Georgina really was a softie when it came to Casey.
    “It was all a blur. There was chanting and maybe smoke. It was all so hazy.” Casey bit her lip which made me think she was hiding something. I couldn’t push for more answers in front of Georgina, but she needed to tell me everything.
    “Sounds like quadrious witchcraft.”
    “What?” Casey and I asked at once.
    “It isn’t used much anymore. It’s a much older practice and completely forbidden.”
    “What is it exactly?”
    “It’s a multi-layered type of magic that influences the person both physically and
