James is having a hard time imagining it but Skip being covered in blood and shaking and crying in the passenger seat is pretty damning evidence that she isn't lying. He'll call his firm, get the cleaners out there to make sure nobody tries to torch the place - he wants the Night Council to know about this.
He needs to call Coward too.
All this is racing through his mind while he drives by route and he knows Skip can react violently to things she doesn't like - so he doesn't touch her either, as much as he wants to.
Before he knows it, they've pulled up to his place.
James doesn't think to ask if this is where she wanted to go. All he can think of is getting her inside. He opens her door for her and offers his hand, if she wants to take it.
