Patrick

A pawnshop on Cherry Street?” Aidan asked, looking strained.

Patrick glanced around the café. No one was paying attention. Still, he leaned closer. “I know it seems strange, but I tell you, I saw her there.”

“You saw her? When was this?”

There was no logical way to explain it, and Patrick didn’t try. “It was a vision I had.”

“A vision?”

“I know, I know. It sounds so foolish, I hardly believe it either. But I drank a potion, and—”

“A potion?” Aidan’s eyes widened. “Since when have you become a deogbaire?”

Cupbearer. Potion maker. Patrick was surprised Aidan knew the word. “I’m not, not really, but I dream about her all the time—”

“Stop. Please. This is my sister.”

“Not that way,” Patrick said impatiently. “At least, not always. I’m in ancient times, and I’m not myself . . . or I am, but I’m more than me. All I know is that Grace is in danger. I don’t understand any of it. I visited your grandmother, and I had a vision when I was with her that told me how to make the potion. So I made it, and drank it, and . . . and I saw Grace in the pawnshop, with red lightning flashing behind her.”

“The same red lightning you were asking me about before?”

“I’ve seen it a few times now,” Patrick confessed. “I know you don’t believe me—”

“It’s not that I don’t believe you.” Aidan took a deep breath. “It’s that . . . this pawnshop you speak of . . . I’ve been inside. Recently. And Grace isn’t there.”

Patrick stared at him. “What?”

“Derry and I discovered that the owner was a Druid. But the man’s been drained by the sidhe, Patrick, and he’s half-mad. The place is full of sidhe magic. It was all Diarmid could do to get me out of there.”

Patrick remembered Aidan in Battery Park, the hungry-looking sidhe. Aidan swaying toward them. Protect him. Do your job.

Aidan said, “I don’t think I could have resisted it if not for Derry. I can’t go back there. The place is dangerous as hell for any Druid. If Grace was ever there—and we saw no sign of her—I don’t want to think what’s happened to her.”

“She’s there,” Patrick said, unwavering. “I’m going to get her. I hoped you would come with me.”

“I can’t go into the place,” Aidan said. “But I’ll come with you. I’ll help however I can. But just so you know, Derry’s been following me. He knows I meet with you. He overheard us talking the other night about my mother. He thought we meant Grace.”

“That’s the reason he broke into my house?”

“A rescue attempt,” Aidan said wryly. “He’s hotheaded, but you know that. He may well show up today. Just a warning.”

“Perhaps we’ll be lucky, and he’ll fall down a well or something.” Patrick rose. “Let’s go.”

Once they were outside, Patrick paused to search for any sign of Diarmid or the others. “It looks clear.”

“That means nothing. He’s sneaky. But he wasn’t around when I left, so perhaps we will be lucky.
