CHAPTER ELEVEN

JANE’S ATTENTION HAD been so focused on Kiernan that she barely noticed the other mirrors in the room. She’d been told that Daire was beginning round three, but she wasn’t willing to miss Kiernan’s round two.

But now that Kiernan had completed his round she was curious about what was happening in the obstacle courses she could see. She was surprised to see so many different men running the obstacle course for each mirror. She counted ten men lined up at the start in one of the mirrors. She didn’t think there were enough participants remaining to fully populate the obstacle courses showing in each mirror. Hadn’t Thomas said there were only 52 participants left and that they’d be split up between round two and round three?

And if Kiernan’s round had been communication, how was running an obstacle course going to show loyalty?

Jane turned to Roarke with a question in her eyes.

“Why are they running an obstacle course?”

“I don’t know,” Roarke said, “What was your last trait? Did you say attractive or muscular or something?”

“Absolutely not! I said loyalty.”

“Are you sure my mother understood what you said? Because it truly looks more like their physical fitness is being tested.”

“I mean, I thought she understood.”

One of the men tapped her to let her know that Kiernan was about to begin round three if she wanted to watch. Already? Jane was surprised he went straight from one thing to another. When she nodded eagerly, he enlarged one of the mirrors.

“Look, he’s going with Seamus and Daire,” Jane pointed out to Roarke.

“No, he isn’t,” Roarke said, pointing to another mirror on the wall. “Remember? We were told Daire was starting round three already and I can see Daire there.”

Jane looked at the mirror Roarke was indicating before looking back at the enlarged mirror. How could Daire be participating in two different obstacle courses?

“You absolute sneak, Mother!” Roarke said under his breath with a muted chuckle.

“What? What’s going on? Why do we see Daire twice?”

“Just watch my brother’s course. I’ll explain once I figure out the catch.”

So Jane watched as the older male moderator that’d been in Kiernan’s room each time walked to the starting line and addressed the group.

“This is a test of physical fitness with simple rules. You must be one of the first five to complete the obstacle course in order to move on. You may begin at the spark.”

When all ten men had adjusted and were looking again at the moderator, he shot a spark out of a single fingertip signaling them to start. The ten men shot off the starting line, three of them, including Seamus, already pulling ahead of Kiernan.

She watched the frustrated look cross Kiernan’s face as he pushed harder to keep up with the three men ahead of him. Kiernan made it to the first obstacle, rushing up a flight of stairs to a 25-foot pole set up like a balance beam he’d have to get across.

“But there’s no net. He’s got to be two stories off the ground.
