Laura cut in to give Carm a hug and light kiss. "I'm Laura. That's the most important thing. And I'm yours and you're mine. If necessary we'll work out all we can and all we need to. Better than going to your mother. And what that reason is?" She shrugged. "This might be the nicest version of Silas we're going to find. And the one with the most friendly Dean. So it's a good place to look."

Ell smiled. "And speaking of the most friendly Dean I'd like to coordinate your movements. Nothing throws people off like being in two places at once. And perhaps I can use you as a fake clone to get those assassins or even that industrial espionage team onto the wrong track. Of course we'd be more than happy to help find out what we can about you."
