Ian and Rory split up, heading into different taverns. Ian found it difficult to concentrate after what had happened with Lucy. There was no longer any doubt that her feelings were genuine, but he was conflicted inside. There was something unstoppable about the passion he felt for her, yet he could not shake the feeling that it was leading him to a doom-ridden path. He had fought so hard to resist being tangled up in emotions, yet here he was, falling for Lucy. He dreaded to think where it was going to lead, but he also knew that he couldn’t just rip these feelings out of his heart.

He settled down with an old man called Wilf. He was a constant presence at the bar, as though he was part of the furniture. Ian spoke in a low tone.

“Hae ye heard about the fugitive? Some thief stole Lady Boyd’s jewels.”

“I know, terrible, is nae it?” Wilf said, shaking his head.

“Hae ye seen anyone lurking around?”

“Cannae say that I hae. What about ye?”

“Well, the other night I was coming back from a delivery and I think I might hae seen someone in a cloak traveling north. It was dark and ye know how tricky the shadows of the night can be, but I called out tae them and I’m sure that they quickened their pace.”

Wilf’s eyebrows shot up. “Oh, well, that is suspicious!”

“Aye, but I was wondering if ye hae seen anything similar? I know ye like tae stay out late. Hae there been anything strange in the shadows as ye hae been walking home?”

“Nae, I dinnae think sae.”

“Think harder, ye know what it’s like tae peer intae the shadows.”

“I dae at that.”

“And hae ye never seen something that ye thought was a person?”

Wilf paused for a moment. “Well, I suppose sae…”

Ian gripped his bony arm tightly and hissed his words. “Then ye might hae seen the thief! Oh, Wilf, I am glad I am nae the only one who saw them. Perhaps there are others as well. Ye should ask other people if they hae seen the same thing as us. Maybe if we all come together, we can track the thief down. I’m sure they were heading north. Would ye agree with that?”

Wilf looked confused for a moment, but then he supposed that if Ian was telling him this, then it must have been true. He nodded along, happily believing that he had indeed seen the thief. After all, why would Ian lie to him?
