Chapter 7

Daniel assumed he was being taken to a prison, but he had no idea which one or even if they were still in London at all. The guards who’d taken him hadn’t spoken a word to him since they’d shoved him into the carriage. The shades were drawn, so he had no idea where they were going or even a general direction of travel, but he didn’t think the journey was long enough to have taken him out of the city. When the carriage stopped the first time, both guards grabbed his arms, but no one moved to get out. A gate then, he thought, perhaps the prison entrance. A short while later, they stopped a second time and the door opened. The first guard got out and gestured for him to follow.

The light seemed very bright after the closed carriage. Daniel blinked a few times as the guard holding his left arm said, “Rivers.”

Informational, Daniel thought, not meant to be addressing him. Another guard stepped forward and knelt down. Daniel was confused until he felt shackles being fitted around his ankles. So things were as bad as he feared. His eyes accustomed themselves to the bright light just as a chain was fitted around his waist to keep the one between his ankles from dragging on the ground.

He stumbled along, prevented from matching his stride to that of the guards by the chain between his ankles, until he was pushed into what seemed to be an office. “Wait there.” The door slammed shut, and he could hear the clink of a lock.

Daniel went to the one chair in the room. No one had told him not to sit, so he did. Nothing happened. He wished there were a clock or at least a window so he could gauge how long he’d been kept there. He was certain it was not nearly as long as it seemed, but some confirmation of the fact would have been nice. He knew they were trying to make him nervous and that he was not really alone, although he did wonder if the guards were merely stationed outside the door or if they could somehow see him. Not that it mattered.

The room was stuffy and warm. He would have liked to loosen his collar, but he wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of seeing him fidget. Daniel stared straight ahead and considered his position. Clearly, he
