I couldn't help but gasp quietly.

Looking around, I realized I was in the same room as before, a sense of disappointment settling in.

Of course, Carter couldn't have found me so quickly.

The room had been tidied up, the unpleasant smell replaced with the fresh scent of clean sheets.

I had been kneeling in the cemetery for ten long hours. My knee had been treated-ointment slathered on it and wrapped in gauze.
