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.

It was night now. The room was dark, and the rain slammed against the windows in a constant, sharp crackle. The wind howled outside, and the waves roared against the shore.
