I crossed my arms, and located the darts hidden in the fabric of my robe with my fingertips. “Valek isn’t here.” “She could be lying,” one of the men said. “How do we know for sure?” “That’s easy,” I said. “Put two fingers on your neck, here.” I demonstrated with my left hand while my right palmed a dart. “Can you feel your pulse? That means Valek isn’t here, because if he was, you’d be dead. No pulse.”
