Chapter Nineteen

Remi stared at the timber facade of Blade’s house. She got out and waited for Greer to climb out her side. She didn’t move. She couldn’t. He stood quietly next to her. Perhaps, being here in the lap of this luxurious home, there was no need to rush anymore.

“I knew the woodcutter.” She looked at Greer. “I saw him on my other visits. If you hadn’t come this time…”

“But I did. Don’t think about what might have been. It wasn’t. It couldn’t have been. It happened as it was intended.”

“He’s from the WKB.”

“Yeah. And they’d given Sally to him.”

“Do you think the doctor has her hidden someplace?”

“No. He looked too panicked about her.” He lifted a big hand to her shoulder and gave her a light squeeze. “Let’s go in.”

“Are we staying here?”

“Yeah. I think it’s for the best. I’ll bring your other things over from Mandy’s tomorrow.” He grabbed their packs and led her to the house.

Lights were on but dimmed in the entranceway and living room. Greer led her upstairs and across the bridge. One door was open, its light spilling out into the hall.

“Kathy got this room ready for you.” He looked farther down the hall. “My room’s the middle one at the end of the hall.” He left his bag in the hall and took her things inside. “There’s a list of numbers on the nightstand. Call any of us if you need anything.”

He set her stuff on the bed. He reached for her arm. His hand slipped down to hold hers. She blinked as a wave of exhaustion and fear wracked her spirit. “I don’t know what end is up anymore.”

His mouth tightened. “I know. You’re safe here. And I’ll help you figure it out.” His brown eyes studied her as he fought for the right words.

“Are you guys feuding with the WKB?”

“No. This fight is bigger than that. It has no beginning and no end. Good and evil never triumph, Remi. They only keep each other in balance.” His hand left hers. “The dark side is very dark. Most people never have to see what we see. The world we live in is nothing like your civilian world. You have the world you have because we do the work we do.” His expression held no emotion. Not anger or remorse. Not belligerence or sorrow.

She knew about dark and hidden worlds. Thanks to her mother, she’d survived hell itself.
