At Grave's End
“If he’d guessed at any of the drama, he kept it to himself. My mother and Denise had arrived. I’d seen their plane circling overhead while I climbed off the cliff down to solid ground.
A scream picked my head up as we approached the house. Mencheres closed his eyes and gave a shake of his head. He’d been standing outside awaiting my return.
“They’ve just been informed of his death,” he said by way of explanation.
“You needed to speak with me?”
Mencheres blinked at my controlled tone. “I thought... you wanted to see your mother first?”
“No, let’s talk now.”
Vlad gave a polite bow. “I’ll leave you to speak privately,” he said, and went inside.
Mencheres considered me with the same evaluating stare I gave him. Neither of us moved. Finally he broke the silence.
“I’ve used my power to try and locate Bones’s body. For an instant, I saw him, shrinking into the state of true death, with a knife pierced through his chest.”
The image slammed into me with more force than a cannonball.MoreLess
