Chapter Ten

Emily found herself humming as she headed back to the Castle MacKissack. It had been a long and very tiring day but enthusiasm buoyed her flagging energy.

She’d taken the coin to a dozen different shops in almost as many towns. No two had appraised the coin at the same value, but after she’d made the rounds she had a far better idea of the worth of her discovery. She just wished she’d had the chance to check on the internet before she’d had to sell the first one. Unfortunately, she didn’t have a land line … yet. She hoped to have one before she had to sell more of the coins, but she was still very happy with what she’d done, even knowing she’d probably sold the coin for a lot less that it’s actual value.

The car was full to bursting with the things she’d bought. She had deliveries scheduled for supplies and building materials … and she still had enough money left to pay the workers!

Her good humor vanished as she pulled into the parking spot she’d claimed and turned the car off. The place looked very little different than it had when she’d left hours ago! What had the men been doing all this time?

Trying to tamp her rising ire, Emily climbed from the car and headed across the narrow bridge and into the keep. She could see the men were working, but they were still pretty much working in the same spot as they’d been working when she left.

"You haven’t made much progress," she said as she reached them.

The men exchanged a glance. "Yer man had us down in the dungeon clearing a bit of rubble."

"My...." Nigel. Emily’s lips tightened. She turned away, heading for the main entrance, intent on giving Nigel a piece of her mind for ‘posing’ as her man and having the nerve to pull her workers off the job she’d given them to do something for him instead.

"He left with Sean a bit ago," one of the workers volunteered.

Emily halted in her tracks, turning back to the man. "Sean?"

"Connors. The bloke that give us a ride up here."

"Oh." Emily frowned, remembering the old truck that had been parked beside her car earlier when she’d left. Disconcerted to discover she had no outlet for her temper, she stood indecisively for several moments and finally stalked back to the car to begin unloading it. When she came back outside, the men had gathered around her car to unload it. Mollified, she directed them where to put the supplies and went inside to see if she could discover what Nigel had been up to.
