Alistair and Bridget were on the road the next morning as soon as they woke up. The faster they moved, the less likely it was that Alistair’s captors could catch up.

On the way to the next place, they discussed Alistair’s collar but weren’t able to come to any conclusions.

“All I know was for a moment, when I was so angry, I felt the bonds lifted and just… power going through me,” he said as she drove.

“But you have no idea why?” she asked.

“No,” he said. “And neither does the scientist who put it on me. They got it from where I was being held before, so he doesn’t even know the rules of it.”

“Ah,” she said. “Well, we’re here. I think this is our next stop.”

“Storm Haven,” he said, looking up at the rusty sign at the turnoff. “Apt name.”

“Yes,” she said. “I’m not sure what services they’ll have here, but we should be able to get food and some clothing, and it’s such a small place that no one should be looking for us here.”

“Do you think they are?” he asked. “You’re the one who worked for them.”

“I don’t know.” She shrugged. “They’re obsessed with secrecy, so it’s fully possible they’re lying in wait or sending others after us. Or they could just leave us alone, but that’s not likely since we know where they are.”

He didn’t like how she said it. “You don’t believe I will?”

“It’s not that,” she said. “It’s just, you keep rubbing in how much stronger you are and how I have to depend on you, when really, you have to depend on me.”

“I do?” he asked.

“You have any money? Any way to get around?”

He scowled. She was right. “No.”

“So there,” she quipped.

“Well, that’s nothing to be grumpy about. We can help each other. Isn’t that right, Scrangey?” He turned back to look at the cat, who was napping in the backseat. “That guy sleeps too much.”

“He’s a cat,” she retorted.

He went back to watching the road as she drove, taking street after street into a small town with buildings and signs everywhere.

“We’ll stop here.”

They got out of the car, cracked the windows for Scrangey, and walked toward the store in front of them.

Alistair read Bridget’s mind constantly in order to hear what she called the things around her so he could learn modern terms. The last thing he wanted was to stick out any more than he did. And with his knee-length, cut-off pants and odd shirt, plus long hair, that was a lot.

She walked straight back to the clothing area, and he saw her rifling through men’s clothing. He didn’t know what to pick, so he trusted her.

When she had an arm full of choices and had looked him up and
