 Stefaaaan! Sanctuary Abnormal | HuffRavSlythDor | Guard Badger ♥ | Stargater | Awaiting Culling
Anderson cleared his throat and shifted the items on the table just a fraction more, so there was enough gap between them. So far the ones that needed it still had their charms, to keep them and him safe, but soon he would have to remove them for the purpose of the task he had planned. Testing Ethan.
He knew the kid had experience, and as far as he was aware, was very good at his job. But he'd also arrived just a week or so before Anderson had gone off on an undercover assignment, meaning he'd not had the chance to get to know him and his skills. This whole thing was more for his benefit, in that regard. He wanted to see how well he could sniff out the bad from the good.
Which was why he had gone into Diagon Alley in his lunch break and bought a few more Sneakoscopes than he'd ever really need. Each of them worked just fine, upon his own testing, but the crucial thing was - two didn't. The two he had taken from the evidence box at the far end of the table.
Ones they had seized from a dodgy seller, and would blow up if mishandled, rather than whistle as they were supposed to. Many people had been injured before they'd caught up with the wizard responsible. But that had been well over a year ago, long before Mr Mordaunt had joined his division. So while he knew what they did, the younger man did not. Not yet anyway. |
