CHAPTER 6

I helped him upstairs to the room he assigned to himself. The door lay at the far rear corner of the house, and I was glad when I set him down on the bed. I moved to step back, but Vincent grabbed my arm.

"Please don't leave me," he whispered.

I set my hand atop his and studied him. His face was less hairy, but no less pale. The hand I held trembled.

I knelt in front of him and caught his gaze. "Why did the clock scare you?"

He closed his eyes and shook his head. "I. . .I don't know. It told me something was coming, something terrible, and I. . .I screamed." He turned his face away and scrunched his eyes shut. Tears streamed down his cheeks. "I couldn't help it."

I cupped his cheek in my hand. His eyes flew open and he turned to me. I gave him a smile. "Nobody's going to hurt you here."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," a voice spoke up behind me.

I whipped my head around to find Quill leaning against the door frame. Beside him stood Bram. His lips were pursed as he strode into the room. Bram shut the door behind them.

"Pardon the intrusion but we ordered out for all of us," Quill informed us. "The lady said our food should be up in a few minutes."

I frowned at him as he moved to stand beside us. "What did you mean about not being sure?"

He jerked his head sideways in the direction of the door. "It means there's something fishy going on around here. I've seen politicians act more honest than this woman, and that was when they were neck-deep in a scandal."

"But she's my friend," Vincent spoke up.

Quill shrugged. "That's what she says, but none of us knows if she's telling the truth or not. I for one think a good sniff around might be beneficial to our health."

"Yeah, and seeing what's in that room," Bram spoke up. He wrinkled his nose. "I couldn't smell a thing from that place."

"She said it was to keep us safe from what was inside," Vincent reminded him.

Bram shook his head. "That's a load of bull. I got something off the knob and it didn't smell like dust to me. More like a cleaner or something."

I stood and swept my eyes over our small group. "Then two of us should inspect the house while the other two stay here." I glanced at Bram and nodded my head towards Vincent. "You stay here-"

"No." Vincent grasped my hand and looked me in the eyes with his own steady gaze. "You need to stay here."

I frowned. "Why?"

Vincent hooded his eyes and turned away from me. "I-I don't know. I just know I want you nearby."

Quill grinned. "Looks like you've been nominated for a different position. You being his Proxy you should stick close by him, anyway." He jerked his thumb at Bram. "Just leave this job to the professionals, and the kid, and we'll get to the bottom of this.
