Chapter 12

Franc rode into the clearing and whistled, letting Lazarus know it was safe to come out. “The meeting is set.” He dismounted and strode toward his friend.

“I was about to come looking for you,” Lazarus said. “When you dinna return, I feared you ran into some trouble.”

“I told you that if I did not come back you were to take the chalice to Clan Sinclair, and not to come to my aid,” Franc snapped.

“And I told you, I wouldna leave you behind,” Lazarus said. “Did you run into trouble?”

“No. It just took me longer to meet with Finlay than I planned. There was a lot more happening than I expected.” Franc tied his horse to a tree, then sat on a nearby stump and cradled his face with his hands. “A hell of a lot more.”

“Damnation!” Lazarus threw his hands in the air. “Dinna tell me there is more unwelcome news.” He drew his sword. “Have the French Guard arrived in Kinloch?”

“Calm yourself.” Franc stood and faced his friend. “I have yet to see any sign of the buggers. But my gut tells me they are close.”

“Then what has you riled again?” Lazarus sheathed his weapon. “Something must be wrong.”

“Aside from having to wait until tomorrow night to hand over the chalice, there really is naught amiss. In fact, most would say what I found out is good news.”

“Dinna leave me in suspense, man. Tell me what it is. Good news is a welcomed change.”
