Chapter Twenty-Six
“Has anyone seen Emory?” Vic asked nearly six days later. The Lord was avoiding her, and he was doing it well. For six days, she had tried to get him alone, attempting to talk to him, and for those six days, he had made sure he was around other people she could not talk in front of about such things, or had disappeared completely. It frustrated Vic that he could hide on such a small airship so thoroughly, and he seemed to know her schedule enough to avoid the bridge when she was there.
“Last I saw him was at breakfast,” Waits answered. Everyone answered the same and Vic grumbled in annoyance.
“Captain,” Teresa, one of the children who were aboard, said. She had taken to sitting on the bridge and watching how everything worked. One day, she would be a captain herself, Vic predicted. “I saw him slip into room two twenty just before I came here. I caught a glance of inside the room. It looked like he might have been in there often.”
Breathing through her nose to hold back the anger she was feeling, she smiled at Teresa. “Thank you, Teresa. You just saved me hours of looking.”
“Anytime, captain,” the girl said, beaming under the praise.
Vic did not waste time waiting around on the bridge. Waits had everything under control there and had taken to kicking her out of it anyways. She had been spending her time working on the Angler with Bram, finishing the design. They only had to work on the interior of the machine by that point, the outside complete and functional.
“Where are you headed in a huff?” Jed asked when she stormed by him across the deck.
“I am hunting for Emory. Teresa informed me he has been hiding in a storage room.” Jed’s eyes widened and he grabbed Vic’s wrist to stop her. “What is the matter?”
“Be careful. Emory would never hurt you, but there’s something going on lately inside his mind. Careful how you handle him.”
Vic nodded and Jed let her go. That he was okay with her still going even though he was worried was not lost on Vic. He trusted her to handle herself, and he trusted Emory would not do something stupid. Vic was not so sure Emory would even be there, but she would continue to hunt him down until she could confront him and help him overcome whatever demons were riding him.
Vic stopped outside room two twenty, remembering the last time she had been in the room. Apparently, Jules was not the only one who liked the low-stocked storage room. Her upbringing demanded she knock, but she was tired of playing games. She had never liked hide n’ seek as a child, and she was fighting anger at Emory having the audacity to hide in the first place. Not once had she turned away from him when her demons ate at her. Not once had she refused his affections when her nightmares hit her hard. He had not even attempted to speak to Vic, and that was hurting her.
