The Templar Throne
“Is anybody there?” Meg’s voice came out of the darkness, croaking and dry from whatever drug they’d been given after getting into the van.
“I’m here,” answered Holliday. His voice was just as scratchy as hers. He had a splitting headache and his tongue was glued to the roof of his mouth. The room was pitch dark. He had no idea how much time had passed since they’d been picked up off the downtown Toronto street.
