Ian and Red, searching the house for Matthew, passed by the door, themselves unable to enter. They heard nothing, and chose to believe the last place he would hide was there, in his mother’s cage, the room his parents had once shared, before his mother went bad, and the only way to protect her and others was to keep her locked away.

They had not been in there for years. Ian had closed that door after Gabrielle’s death and sworn never to open it. He wanted never again to look upon what their love had made him do to her.

He had kept her caged like an animal because he loved her, and because she loved him. All because she wouldn’t leave.

Red glanced across at Ian as they moved past the door, heading for the last stairwell, the one that led up to the attic, and his expression said everything. I know why you couldn’t tell him. How could you ever make your son understand something like that?

But the unspoken answer that drifted from one to the other through the stale air of the upper corridors was that they both knew there was so much more. So much that even they couldn’t face.

Hammered by the day’s events, the fight gone from them both, they leaned against each other as they urged their weary bodies through the rooms and corridors, looking for Matt’s hiding place. Matt held the key to a question they had not known existed before today, but as they closed one door after another they began to realise that the door that led to the answer they wanted might not be locked after all.

They might have the answer for themselves.

And it sickened them.

All it took was a little rational thinking.

Not dead.

The answer had just taken time to come.

Red’s baby was not dead.

And they dreaded what that meant.
