Chapter Eighteen

Sean retrieved his cell phone and dialed. Tommy Hopkins, a man he and Catriona often used for surveillance and other feet-on-the-ground operations, answered.

“You have eyes on Thorn?”

“He’s at his hotel with two men. I sent you the info.”

“Any other info?”

“He’s been living in Tennessee. Mid-level drug runner, OxyContin mostly. Been at it for decades.”

“Thanks. Stay on him.” Sean hung up.

Found him. The red-bearded fiend had holed up in a cheap hotel on the outskirts of town with his two henchmen. He couldn’t understand how the man had appeared after all these years, or how he had found Catriona. If Brochan hadn’t been there—

Sean took a deep breath.

Brochan. My boy. His throat tightened at the thought of reuniting with the babe he thought he’d lost so long ago. He’d found his home burned to ashes, his wife’s body blackened. There’d been no sign of his infant son, but the fire had been fierce. There was no reason to believe a child so small could have survived. Blinded by rage and pain, he’d left to exact his revenge on Thorn.

Sean reached beneath his shirt and stroked the smooth skin beneath his ribs. The last time he’d seen Thorn they’d been locked in battle. He’d heard someone call out for their da, and—his own lost newborn boy weighing heavy on his mind—he’d turned. Lost focus for a precious moment.

Thorn ran him through with his sword.

That’s when he jumped. Time travel erased old age and healed all wounds—except those caused by another Traveler.

Thorn was only a man. He hadn’t left a scar. Not on his physical body. Somehow Thorn must have been pulled forward with him, bound to him by that sword.

In seventeen twenty-one he’d had a woman he loved, a cause to fight for, a child—

And now I’m driving a car in the twenty-first century.

There was no time to spend in the past now.

He couldn’t wait for Thorn Campbell to snatch Catriona again. He couldn’t wait for the bastard to knock on his door. The time had come to end the feud between them once and for all. Time to revenge sweet Isobel.

If only I’d known. Thorn had been in Tennessee for decades. He’d had had time to find his bearings, learn how the modern world worked and how to use modern weapons.

I’ve lost any chance to surprise him.

Sean’s phone buzzed and he glanced at it to see he’d received a text.

911.

He reached onto the passenger seat and grabbed the phone. The text was from Luther. The phone buzzed again.

Home. 911.

Two exits from Luther’s, Sean stepped on the gas and pulled off the freeway. Coasting to a stop half a block from Luther’s home, he could see his friend and co-worker’s lights were off. He turned off his engine, slipped out of his car, and headed for the house.

A strange shadow paralleled the edge of Luther’s front door.

The door was opened.

Just a crack, but not closed tight like it should be. He crept toward the porch, gun drawn.

Easing open the door he peered into the darkness, allowing his eyes to adjust.
