CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Following Wisteria’s chat with Alba, she felt unsettled and decided to risk it and see Bach. She was going to ask him to get Garfield. Not that she couldn’t get him herself, but he’d be faster.

While she’d no way to directly contact Bach, she went to the clock tower, knowing he’d eventually sense her there and come after her.

Jason had been moved to the infirmary, so the tower was empty.

With Amanda watching her mother, Wisteria snuck into town that night and waited in the room behind the large clock. He hadn’t shown up and now the sun was starting to rise.

As she fought off sleep, she decided to leave and relieve Amanda at home. She rose to her feet to find Bach standing on the other side of the room.

“What are you doing here?” He stood still, grimacing at her. “We agreed to keep everything secret.”

“Alba came to see me...”

Alba was standing a few feet behind him.

“Is anything wrong?” he asked after she didn’t respond.

I missed you. Too needy. “Alba saw Garfield a few miles from here. I thought you could help me find him.”

“You saw him?” he asked Alba.

“I think I did. I mean someone here described him to me, so I am matching that face to a description. It might be a completely different person,” Alba admitted.

“But you can check it out, right?” she asked. “It shouldn’t take you too long.”

“How will I explain bringing him back?” Bach looked puzzled.

“I can bring him back. You can bring him to me when we’re on patrol.”

“But you are not patrolling anymore,” Alba explained. “Didan advised everyone to regroup, so no one is allowed to leave the island for now.”

“We’re effectively trapped here with no clue about what’s happening outside?” Wisteria was baffled by this decision.

“Only for a while,” Alba tried to explain. “This is just to give Didan the illusion of control.”

“By actually giving him control?” Wisteria exclaimed. “This is what you really want, right?”

“Me?” Alba gasped.

“You’re doing something on this island, something bad. That’s why you don’t want anyone to leave,” Wisteria accused.

“Alba was the only empiric who fought Didan on the lock down. And she is the only reason I am even able to see you now without any suspicion,” he reassured her.

“How?” Wisteria grimaced.

“Mateu and Benet saw you come in here and there was no way Bach could come here without them asking funny questions,” Alba explained.

“Alba told him she had renewed you,” he said.

“And I’m supposed to behave like a sleepwalker?” Wisteria replied. “That’s not going to work because I don’t know how sleepwalkers act.”

“If you stay away from the town square and stay in the farmhouse, no one will care how you behave,” Alba suggested.

“Which was what we agreed in the first place,” he reminded her.

Wisteria nodded, but what he said didn’t make her feel better. “What about Garfield? Are you going to get him back? He could stay at your den until it’s safe to bring him back?”

He almost recoiled back at the suggestion.
