“I’m the closest family Julianna had at her death.” Owen replied flatly. He believed himself, and rightly so, to be the best resource by which to know Julianna. He wasn’t enthusiastic about letting this man know him personally but he could certainly impart any information he had on Julianna.
Owen shrugged and spread his hands as if the timeline were out of his hands. “I suppose you might have a week. Depends on how fast things move.”
As for seeing Julianna, Owen would very much like that. He was already seeing her so he figured it shouldn’t be that hard for someone claiming to be a professional to conjure her up. At this point, he didn’t quite believe it could be done and if he did see Julianna through this man’s magic or trickery, well, how could he even be sure it was truly her and not some clever illusion gleaned from the information he was requesting Owen impart to him?
It was a mess.
“I would very much like to speak with my wife and will try to be accommodating. I expect you will work quickly and efficiently. If you do anything I do not like, or give me any more reasons to suspect this is a rouse of some sort, well, quite simply I will pull the plug on this...operation.”
He gave Ximon a tightrope upon which to balance.
“So, how much money are you going to shake me down for? What favors do you expect the crown to throw your way?”
