Chapter Nine

Roni looked around the gorgeous country home three days later and wished she could enjoy it on an aesthetic level. She knew she should appreciate the stunning ceilings and the stained-glass windows, but all she saw was a million ways they were unsafe.

The smell of coffee permeated, hitting her nose and reminding her that she had barely eaten in days, much less had a decent cup of coffee.

But then what mother ate when she didn’t even know where her child was in the world?

She stopped just before the hallway opened to the large great room. She could hear the sound of people talking. Ezra. And Nina. They were saying something about how no one seemed to have followed them, and Ezra had reprogrammed the security cameras to watch all the possible entrances. They’d even placed some new ones to watch the woods around them.

“Hey, I was going to see if you wanted some breakfast. Nina’s making omelets.” Tucker walked out from what appeared to be the kitchen. “I know it’s been rough these last few days, but this is a safe place.”

It had been beyond rough. First there had been the harrowing escape through London’s underground tunnels. Despite the fact that Ezra and Nina had promised her no one would be able to find the hidden door unless Damon talked, she still had held on to Tucker like a lifeline. All through the long trudge below, he’d carried her and she’d watched over his shoulder for signs that they were being chased. Every footstep Tucker had taken had put distance between her and Violet.

They’d made their way to the small flat that served as one of McKay-Taggart and Knight’s safe houses. They’d stayed in the tiny one-bedroom flat until late last night when Ezra and Nina had decided it was safe enough to move to this massive house in the English countryside. She’d been told it was owned by a member of The Garden and was as safe as they could be.

“Have you heard anything about Violet and my mom?” It was all she’d been able to think about for days. She hadn’t seen or talked to her baby since they’d fled The Garden.

The half smile that had been on his face faded. “I checked the message board we’re supposed to use. Ian’s got them on a plane back to the States.”

“Without me?” They were going to be so far away. She’d never spent so much as a night away from Vi until two days ago, and now there would be a whole ocean between them?

Tucker’s voice dropped low as though he didn’t want the rest of them to hear what he was saying. “I would do anything to get you on that plane. Anything. Say the word and I’ll turn myself in.”

That was the problem. There wasn’t anything to do. She took a deep breath, trying to quell the emotions welling inside her. She knew they’d done what they had to do, knew Tucker giving himself up wasn’t going to help, but it didn’t fix the anxiety and fear festering deep down in her gut.
