Mr. Banks stood, straightened his cuffs. "The Demi-Hawks," he said to Leo's trembling form, "are what happen when a soul refuses to fully leave the nest. They are not quite human. Not quite bird. They are the keepers of the guilty. And they are very, very good at their jobs."

He'd smile his thin, bloodless smile. And he'd say, "I don't want your money. I want the memory of what you did." And they are very, very good at their jobs

Mr. Banks nodded to Zayden.
