"You want me dead?" Anansi asked, not looking as if he received or was worried about any death threats.
Severin shrugged. "He didn't seem particularly interested in you."
"Not until you made it look like I'm holding you under a knife," Anansi pointed out. "Why did you do something like that? They might just come after me."
"Are you afraid of that?"
"I am not. They don't know who I am, so they might not really bother me. But why did you do that? Also, are you an actor?"
"I'm sure you noticed as well. Those guys have been following us since we entered the city, and they're not the only ones."
Anansi stilled; his eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
Severin raised his hand. "Two groups of people are after us. One of them is the ECF, and the others, I don't know. They seem to be spying on us through shadows."
