"We need more..." I ordered, observing the informative wall that we all had spent the night building up and adding to it.
There were groans and grumbles all around and I sighed, turning around to face them. We are all tanding around the table in the main conference room of the office, and I saw looks exchanged between my team.
"The guy's alibi is water, bloody clothes and he's a runner. I know we vetted him magically, but I'm starting to think he did it. Sorry Gilly..." Stephan muttered.
Abby scoffed. "Oh yes...Definitely killed her...not that I'm questioning Gilly's ability. I'm sure magic can lie too..."
"He had blood on his hands and he didn't stick around to await police questioning. He killed her...sorry Gilly, but did you even use magic when you vetted him?" Harrison asked
"Oh gee, doubting my magic? Thanks...Though I am questioning what exactly I saw...and he is hiding a big secret, so maybe he did kill her." Gilly agreed.
I sighed. "Your magic is fine. Just, look at the pictures – he loved her. And the gun was found on the scene. And we can't just go by what we have. And although we all know that he is innocent, we need further proof. We hand what we have now over as evidence, they're going to crucify him. I may have been able to stop David Rosen for at least 24 hours, but we need more." I declared.
"Can't we just, I don't know, magic this thing away? Like get Gilly to do something to convince the cops and David Rosen that he is in fact telling the truth?" Quinn asked.
We all stared at her – Stephan, Harrison, Abby and me.
Gilly gave her a look. "Just because I am of magic, doesn't mean I can't go around, snapping my fingers and magicking the problems away. I'm not bloody Glinda the good witch. Magic doesn't work like that. There is a lot more to it and I have rules I need to follow."

"But you are magic – I'm sure there is some way around." Quinn argued.
Gilly sighed, looking to me. "Did you not listen to what I said last night? Yes, I have magic and yes, I do sometimes use it to help certain things when we have a client, but magic is the last resort. What if the government or the press were to find out that magic exists? Sure, I can use magic to help, but then people will start to wonder and start asking questions, and then all of the sudden, you have a shit-storm on your hands."
I could tell my sister was getting angry, as her British accent was beginning to emerge. Although over the years, her accent was mainly American, every time her emotions got the better of her, she would unknowingly slip back into her British accent. Charlie's accent was still British, although it became a mixture due to him moving around from place to place.
Quinn quickly looked down, a blush rising in her cheeks. "I'm sorry...I just...I'm still in shock that magic exists, and I thought..."
I gave a Gilly a look and she grimaced, before sighing.
