The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Proven Guilty - some minor unanswered questions
Kindler:
I assume she's still alive, yes. It just seems like an oversight; her getting shot is basically a throwaway line by Murphy that isn't brought up again. I know Dresden's priorities are different in the last three books, but it feels out of place for it to be totally unacknowledged.
I mean, in Turn Coat, Will and Georgia are with Andi the whole time they're off-page, and this was after Kirby was killed; sure, they're a pack, but I'd expect someone to be with Abby, you know? Especially because Toto loves Will. But everyone we see at the Chicago Justice League Meeting at Murphy's house is running around with Dresden. Heck, Murphy's hanging out at the BFS when we see her next. Especially odd given the attacks that were going on throughout Chicago at the time; she's in a hospital, and vulnerable.
Am I reading too much into it? Yes. I am. I'm nitpicking. I plead guilty.
But damn it, I love dogs and dog owners. I want to know that Abby and Toto are okay, because I'm emotionally invested in their codependent relationship.

Good points. She is essentially the Paranet liaison to the Chicago Justice League. A part of the inner circle. It would be strange for their to be no one with her given that she is likely in increased danger due to her role. Probably just an oversight and will be resolved in later books. Maybe in PT the Paranet will be utilized in some way and we will find out for sure what happens to her.

Here is something else I found interesting near the end of the book when Eb and Harry are going over the case.
--- Quote ---I grunted. "The traitor to the Council. Someone had to tell the Reds where Luccio's boot camp was hidden."
"Yes," he said, and leaned forward. "And outside of Luccio only four people knew."
I arched my brows at him. "Morgan?"
"That's one," he agreed. "Injun Joe, the Merlin, and Ancient Mai were the only others."
I whistled slowly. "Heavy hitters. But knock Morgan off your list. He didn't do it."
Ebenezar arched his brows. "No?"
I shook my head. "Guy is a dick," I said, "but he's on the level. We shouldn't tell him, but he's no traitor."
Ebenezar frowned for a moment and then nodded slowly. "Very well, then. I'll vouch for Injun Joe."

Are we assuming that Peabody also knew as a result of his duties and Eb didn't know or think to mention him? Did Peabody find out as a result of his mind bending? Or did Peabody not know and one of the four mentioned is another traitor?
apgrey:
The assessment is that Peabody would have known about Luccio's boot camp, but nobody thought to include him in the list of possible traitors.
As secretary, he would have known almost everything the Senior Council knows. The locations of safe houses and camps would have been in the orders and other forms he would have had the Senior Council sign.
In addition, renting or purchasing the land for the camps, and the order to deliver supplies and equipment would have gone through him.

Aside from that, he could have directly influenced the selection of that particular location through his mental hold on the Senior Council and Luccio. Really, it's impossible to say how many decisions by the Senior Council were actually their decisions from the start of the series.
