Chapter 13 - Now Get Up!

Gracey spent each day in her suite. She told everyone she was just tired. But the truth was, she was frightened. There had been two kidnapping attempts, and she had been shot. Okay, the shooting was an accident, but mentally and emotionally too much had happened in a short period of time. On top of the physical threats, she found out her daddy was not her father. Her father was a wolf. She had gotten engaged, and she discovered her fiancée was her cousin. And she was a wolf too. A wolf if she decided to change before her twenty-fifth birthday.

A normal person would have already found a tall bridge and a deep river to end it all. Stone tried to empathize with her as his family had kept secrets from him, as well. He had gotten engaged and discovered his fiancé was his cousin. And he was a wolf; if he decided to change before his thirtieth birthday. But he had not been shot, and no one had tried to kidnap him.

Stone delivered Gracey breakfast every morning, toast and coffee. He tried to get her to eat lunch, to no avail. Ms. Maple was victorious in getting her to eat at least half of her dinner. While Gracey allowed visitors into her suite, she barely talked staring at the wall almost catatonic. The staff ensured her bath was drawn, and Ms. Maple coaxed her into the bath and clean pajamas each day.

Charles stopped by daily, nearly in tears, full of remorse. “I’m so sorry, Gracey,” he told her again and again.

“I don’t blame you Charles. It wasn’t your fault,” Gracey would reassure him and go back into her trance.

Stone spent most of the week with Gracey in her suite. Each night he would lie beside her, but she remained stiff in his arms. Stone felt Gracey pull further and further away.

After the third day, Stone called Dr. Robertson, distraught. “She barely eats, she barely talks, and she just lies in bed and stares at the wall. I’m really worried Dr. Robertson. She is so despondent.”

“Is the wound healing? Is she in pain?” Dr. Robertson asked.

“The dressing has been changed as directed, and there does not appear to be any infection. The pain seems minimal. She doesn’t flinch when the bandages are changed,” Stone answered.

“I’ll stop by this afternoon and see what I can do to help,” Dr. Robertson advised.

“If Molly is working with Rafe and I was the one feeding her information, how are we going to prove it and find out why?” Elmer asked Jim and Rudy.

Then Rudy remembered Stone and Gracey’s story about their last visit to Molly’s and a box of documents, photos, and the Henrikson Family Tree and told Jim and Elmer about the box. “Maybe there are some clues in the box. But how do we get it?” Rudy asked.

“Well, if Molly is the one passing on information to Rafe, she probably thinks I’m clueless. I can dupe her into leaving the house and then Jim can go in and get the box,” Elmer suggested.
