Chapter 27

Allison flipped through Stuart’s planner while Zack drove them in her car to Fenwick Hall. Nicholas Trott sat in the middle of the back seat and stared out the front window.

Zack glanced in the rearview mirror. “Does Nicholas Trott need a seat belt?”

“He won’t wear one.” She pointed to the light ahead. “Turn left here. The causeway to Hoopstick Island will be on your right.”

Zack turned and slowed down on the gravel road. “I wish you’d put that planner down. You’re torturing yourself.”

“I know.” She tossed it into the back seat. “I still can’t believe Alex tried to kill Remiel and even went to prison for it.”

“Remember, no one else can know.”

“I promise I won’t say a word.”

Zack had told her the story and it was almost unbelievable. In fact, if it’d been a regular day on a regular week without Fianna warriors, impossible tasks, and a kidnapped woman, she wouldn’t have believed it.

Zack parked the car outside a set of locked gates decorated with wrought-iron ravens. A sign off to the side read RAVEN’S RETREAT AT FENWICK HALL. PRIVATE PROPERTY. NO TRESPASSING.

She sighed. Part of the restraining order deal she’d made years ago to keep Rue away included the stipulation that Allison needed permission to return to Fenwick Hall. She’d emailed Rue yesterday and had left a message, but hadn’t heard anything. Not surprising, considering their latest fight.

Now Allison wasn’t quite sure how this unexpected visit was going to turn out.

Since Nicholas Trott was trying to open his door, Zack got out and freed him. Nicholas Trott ran toward the gate, and Zack opened her door. “Prepare yourself. It’s humid.”

She got out, slung her Nicholas Trott tote bag filled with tracing paper and pencils over her shoulder, and sucked in her breath. Although it was still midmorning, the temp had hit the high nineties and the humidity level had to be as high. Sweat formed between her breasts, and she took off her sweater and tossed it into the car. “Let’s get this over with.”

At the fence, she typed in numbers on a security keypad, and the gates swung open. Nicholas Trott raced down the lane in front of them. “We can’t drive onto the property—Rue won’t allow it. But we can walk to the house. We need to go there first since the barn will be locked.”

Zack took Allison’s hand and squeezed. “It’ll be okay. I promise.”

“I hope so.” She started walking with Zack next to her. Except he glanced back a few times. “What’s wrong?”

“There are cameras in the trees.”

“There are also armed guards in the woods. My uncle Fenwick and his men are always patrolling.” She tugged on Zack’s hand to keep him moving. She didn’t want to be here. And she hated the fact that she had to ask permission to visit her childhood home, the home her father had renovated for his family. The home her uncle usurped after her father’s unexpected death. “Are you armed?”

He looked down at her with a serious gaze she’d never seen before.
