Mum returned to the room, sans cup of tea, shock etched on her face.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, using the bed’s remote control to adjust my position.

She stopped at my bedside, catching her breath.

“Mum?”

She rubbed her chest, holding up a finger.

“Did you run here?” I asked.

With a deep, restoring breath, she spoke. “They’ve found him.”

Relief hit me at full impact, my body a riot of tingling. “Isaac? Where is he?”

“At an old farmhouse five miles north of Coldharbour.” She rubbed her chest again, definitely in a state of shock. “And it appears…by Hecate.”

I reached for her. “Take it easy, Mum.”

“It appears…” Deep breaths, steadying herself. “It appears Daniel Croft is with him.”
