QUENTIN

THE CALL CUT OFF, and Laurence was gone.

Quentin tapped the button which should - in theory - call Laurence, but it didn’t even ring. The call landed at the gates of Laurence’s voicemail, so he hung up once more.

“Langley,” he muttered to himself. He hurried through the house in search of pen and paper, the dogs at his heels, but after three rooms with nothing but ladders and tins of paint he forced himself to stop and get a bloody grip. He thumbed at the phone and called the Jack in the Green instead.

“Good afternoon,” Ethan answered, “this is the Jack in the Green. How-”

“Ethan. Quentin. Where is Langley?”

“Uh.” Ethan made some sort of sucking sound. “Like, Langley Road? Or are you talking, like, Virginia?”

“Langley and Island,” Quentin answered, praying fervently that made some sense to Ethan.

“Oh. Oh, fuck! You mean Grant Hill? Where’s Laurence at? Is he there?”

Quentin blinked swiftly. “Yes. He sounds in a terrible state-”

“I’m on it. Myriam,” Ethan called, “I gotta go out. I need your truck. It’s urgent. Thanks!”

Quentin heard a door slam, then another. “What is it? Is Laurence all right?”

“I fucking hope so, dude. I gotta hang up. I’ll get back to you, okay?”

Quentin nodded, numb. “All right.”

Ethan ended the call without another word, and Quentin stared at the phone in his hand.

What on Earth had just happened?

Then his eyes narrowed.

First the apparition, then a call from Freddy. Now this. Only a fool would think the events unconnected.

If Father had harmed a hair on Laurence’s head there would be hell to pay.

Except that Father had given Quentin two weeks. There was no cause to interfere with Laurence until the time was up, surely. All it did was increase the risk of Quentin flying home in anger rather than out of co-operation. And Ethan seemed to know exactly what was going on the moment Quentin gave him the address Laurence had mentioned.

So perhaps, just this once, his father was innocent.

He snorted at the idea and forced himself to go make tea, if only to avoid shaking the downstairs study to pieces.
