The silence in Lockwood & Co. was heavy, broken only by the distant hum of the city. George stood rigid, a defensive wall of intellect and irritation.

He gestured vaguely to the empty space between them, his voice sharp and clipped, cutting through the stagnant air of the house to deny any accusation of theft or interference.
