Tao stiffened slightly but didn't say anything. His eyes slid towards Riley and he gave a nod. "I will set up the information." He waited for Riley to leave the house before stepping forward to Marie. "We need to speak. Now." He put things away and then headed to the car. The ride back to the house was not silent but was still tense.
He let her go with the fangs, and his car. He'd set his own rumors out of his disappearance to help her get in farther but he didn't want to discuss the shifters and would not give her any real information. He did give her something about a new leader, hoping that the pastor would think that meant things were up in the air and weak at the moment. More information to come when he spoke to Riley. Then he headed to bed, dismissing William and the offer of a drink to just pass out in the bed.
