Chapter 17

Since he wanted to give Jervis time to think about what he'd said, Doc called Emily on his way back upstairs.

"Sir?"

"I want to take the children someplace fun in the morning. Do you have any ideas?"

"Fun?"

"Yes, fun. But for children."

"I see," Emily murmured. "Um... Well... It's still snowy."

"Yes?"

"You could take them sledding."

"Sledding?"

"Most kids like to sled."

"There is the problem of sleds," Doc pointed out. "And don't people generally wear some kind of snow clothes? Seems like I've seen that."

"I can take care of that. When do you want to go?"

"I have to fly out at noon."

"Have them downstairs by six then," Emily said.

"I'm going to regret this, aren't I?" Doc sighed.

"I don't know why you would," she laughed. "It's fun."

Since it was already past two, Doc didn't bother going to sleep. Instead he checked the news again. Andrew's city still wasn't mentioned. Which was good. Or not. He wasn't sure.

After that, he texted Julian and asked him if he'd found out anything about Adrian Gionta, the painter who had trapped several women inside his paintings.

"It's three o'clock in the morning," Julian texted back.

"So?"

"No."

"No what?"

"I haven't found anything yet."

"That's very curious, isn't it?"

"What do you mean?"

"You seem to be very good at finding things," Doc pointed out.

"Gionta doesn't want to be found," Julian replied.

"Have you given up?"

"I don't give up. I just need more time."

Doc smiled as he imagined the irritation in Julian's voice. "Let me know," Doc texted.

"No, I was planning to spend hours of my life searching for information and then just keep it to myself."

Doc laughed and set his phone aside.

He played poker against himself until five, and then he called the kitchen and ordered breakfast before waking up the children.

Within the hour, they were crowded inside a Dulcis van as Emily drove them out of the city.

"We've never been sledding," Jules said excitedly.

"We've never been out of the city," Johnny put in. "Well, except for the New York thing, but that was still in a city."

"Never?" Doc asked.

"Never," the twins said in unison.

"You're in for a treat then," Doc drawled.

"Why's that?"

"Just wait until we get there," Doc replied mysteriously.

If the twins had never been out of the city, they had no idea how much their magic was hampered. He couldn't wait to see their faces when they stepped out of the van and felt real energy for the first time.

He frowned as he thought about the city weighing down on them. The city really wasn't a good place for little witches to grow up, and he made up his mind to do for them what he should have done for Bree and find them a home outside of the city. A home where they could be free.

"We're here," Emily suddenly said, parking alongside a snow covered hill.

Doc glanced out at all the snow and sighed. He just wasn't a tramp around in the snow kind of person. This was really an Andrew type outing. Or a Jury type.

He glanced down at his shoes and muttered, "I hate it when my feet get wet.
