    Meanwhile, Spook had reported Penny''s


    movement to both Clifford and Valois.

    From the corner of her eyes, Shae saw a hunched elderly man staring right at her.

    like any regr old man.


    Shae regained her senses and replied hastily, "To buy a casket." "How many?"


    "One for now. May need more depending on the situation."

    “Doesn''t seem to be something I can help you with."


    Shae smirked. "Oh really? Last I heard, the Death Reaper was supposed to be a professional at this."
