His doorbell rang. The birdcall sang twice before he had made it to the peephole.
Two elvish guards were pressed up against the door, gripping another with a stranglehold. They had caught Nervina.
Puck let the three in, asking Gordon to take Charley up into the nursery first before they would talk. He motioned the security elves to the cake cabinet and coffee bar.
Nervina coughed, his throat was red. Puck noted his weight had changed dramatically - he now wore a middle age girth and a double chin as an accessory. His chi was depleted, his eyes were bloodshot. Puck guessed that Forsythe had sucked the very life out of him.
"What is it you want?" he asked disparagingly.
"I want nothing from you Puck - I came only to bring you something I thought you should have."
