Chapter Eleven

Titus stopped in midsentence when he realized his son and Nicholas were no longer listening, and turned to see what had caught their attention. “By the gods,” he said when he spotted Rana’s truck at the summit guardhouse, “it’s about time.”

“Don’t get too excited,” Nicholas said with a chuckle. “She’s not here for you.”

“I was referring to her making the drive up here, since she’s had that truck for nearly a week. Is her passenger the woman she rescued from the protestors?”

Nicholas nodded. “I was just about to intervene when I noticed a red SUV approaching. Rana slammed on the brakes the moment she saw what was happening, and ran into the mob shouting for them to back off. She even pulled one of the men off the woman and started giving him hell.”

Mac closed his eyes on a groan. “Sweet Zeus.”

“Someone,” Nicholas drawled, “might want to mention that she’s not supposed to park in the middle of the road.” He sobered. “I’m just glad Kitalanta was with her, as I’m afraid she would have charged in there even if she’d been alone.”

“Of course she would have,” Mac said as he glared at Titus. “Because someone has spent the last forty years letting her believe she’s invincible.”

Ignoring his son—which he found himself doing a lot lately—Titus watched his wife get out of her truck and let Kitalanta out before rushing around to the other side. After finally coaxing her obviously hesitant passenger to get out, Rana put her arm around the young woman and headed toward the conference pavilion just as Julia came rushing outside. “You might as well leave Dante in place, since he’s already established himself,” Titus said to Nicholas. “But I see no need for you to continue shadowing him. Dante can warn us if anything important is about to occur.” He grinned, gesturing toward the pavilion. “We seem to have acted in haste, as it appears my wife just brought the inner workings of the colony to us.”

“She wouldn’t have been able to if Dante hadn’t already been there,” Nicholas pointed out. “Although I’m more worried about the protestors than I am the colonists. Someone needs to rout those idiots before they go from merely being zealous to dangerous.”

“When is Niall returning?” Titus asked.

“Too soon for Duncan’s peace of mind,” Mac said with a chuckle, “and not soon enough for Jack Stone. Apparently Laird Niall isn’t all that enamored with modern law, and suggests that instead of putting people in a comfortable jail cell, Stone should take the bastards on a one-way ride to the end of Pine Lake, claiming a long trek through the wilderness might better serve to help them find the error of their ways.”

“Can’t say that I disagree with him,” Nicholas muttered.

“Niall will be back in a couple of days,” Mac added, “with his badge and gun and all his passionate energy focused on protecting the fine citizens of Spellbound Falls and Turtleback Station.”

“Good,” Titus said, starting up the path to his cottage.
