Vinicio and Bella had planned an anniversary river cruise before Nora disappeared. Now, Vinicio thought that with her daughter missing, Bella wouldn't want to go on a trip in case Nora came home. His feelings were mixed on whether it was a good idea, but he couldn't deny that he would enjoy the break.

"I took the liberty of canceling our trip," Vinicio said over brunch.

Bella was still in her silk red robe, her face puffy from sleeping too much.

In the last week, Bella's insomnia had swung to the sleep of depression. She slept most of the day and night. Vinicio didn't mind; it helped him catch up on his duties.

"Why?" Bella asked.

"I thought, in light of everything, that you wouldn't feel up to it."

"No, I want to go," Bella insisted as she took a sip of juice.

"You've been so tired as of late..."

"I want to go," Bella pleaded.

"Well, if you really want to, I'll see to it."

Bella smiled, and Vinicio decided it was worth it. The souls could wait.

When he received word from the hawk hunter requesting more defined orders, Vinicio felt uneasy and wanted to distract his wife anyhow. It seemed that Nora still lived. Perhaps it had been a mistake to send Hacia and Alfie. He'd assumed they would be so engrossed in competition and quarry that they wouldn't ask questions. He thought back to what Alfie's note had said.

Target may have company. Description of tutor, Peter, requested.

A.

Vinicio knew for a fact that Peter was not involved, yet it seemed Nora had found herself a protector. Who would go to such lengths to protect a young girl? It seemed that Nora had inherited some of her mother's charm. She must have seduced a man.

Peter is not the companion. Seek her out and dispose of him if you must.

Nora needed to be eliminated before her powers fully manifested and people started noticing. The return of the king would spread like wildfire among the seven regions of Hell. The souls would risk everything if they saw even a glimmer of hope.

There would be dissent among the trackers and the court, and even the souls of region one would involve themselves. It was rare for the purest of souls to concern themselves with the rest of Hell, but for the king, they would emerge from their meditations and music to rally.

What was worse was Bella. Despite her usual complacency, she had grown more inquiring. She wanted to know why it was taking so long to find her daughter. Between her long periods of sleep, she would wake at odd hours and look for someone to talk to about Nora. It was almost as if she didn't fully believe that Vinicio was doing everything he could to find the girl.

Of course, he was, but what he intended to do with her was the part Vinicio hid from his wife. At one point, Rebus found her wandering around the barracks looking for a hawk hunter to speak with. An excursion was just what she needed.
