Matthias was on his way down the hall when Dan—the town’s farmer and his Bible study leader—came out of Beth’s room.

“Hey.” Matthias kept his voice low. “How is she doing?”

Dan shook his head.

What had happened to her? Everyone who knew was keeping it pretty close. If it was another attack, he’d have heard. Therefore, it must be something else, and it had him worried. “Does she…need anything?”

Dan swallowed. “The president and the first lady were killed.”

Matthias just stared.

“Beth asked for space. The baby is fine, and your mom is planning on stopping by later. Beth asked for Olympia. I prayed with her, but I feel pretty helpless. Not sure what else I can do, and I know there’s nothing I can say.” Dan took a breath. “How’s Frannie?”

His mind was reeling from the news, but he said, “She wants to go to church tomorrow.”

“That’s good.”

“It’s dangerous, is what it is.” Matthias sighed. “I’m supposed to go get Father Wilson right now. Maybe then she won’t feel like she has to be at service.”

Dan motioned to Stella and Frannie’s room. “Want me to talk with her?”

“Actually, that would be great.” There was something about the farmer that was so much more approachable with spiritual things than the father. “I need to check the bakery and see if I can find Mimi and Izzy. I can’t believe they still haven’t been here to see Frannie. Half the town has been in and out since we brought her in yesterday.”

“Does she know you spent last night in the hall with your sleeping bag?”

Matthias shot him a look. “I told her. Just go talk, okay? Do the thing you do that makes everyone feel better.”

Dan grinned, but said, “You seem like you might need some of that yourself.”

“Maybe later.”

Dan nodded. “Very well.”

Matthias kicked out his leg, forcing Dan to dodge out of the way even as he laughed.

Matthias walked through town to the bakery. The bare skin on his arms chilled from the evening air. On fall nights when the temperature would drop, warmth got trapped in the basin inside the mountains, so it wasn’t too bad. They got some snow, but it usually melted pretty quickly—at least until winter hit in full force. It took people some getting used to, and Sheriff Mason was forever wearing a sweater with shorts because he couldn’t figure out what temperature it was supposed to be.

He thought about Susan, and the impression she’d made on the people in town since her arrival. They’d all known Susan and Beth wouldn’t remain in Sanctuary forever, but who didn’t enjoy the company of the two women? Now Susan was dead, and Beth’s family had been destroyed. What was going to happen to her? He couldn’t even imagine what that kind of loss felt like.

Matthias approached the bakery. The residents of this town had banded together because of their shared experiences with WITSEC. There wasn’t much else they could do, considering they had to live together. It was like a submarine or a remote military base…or a prison.
