I tore my eyes away from Callahan as Drusilla grabbed my hand and began dragging me.

“Where are we going?” I asked.

“Today is a special day, so let us drive you in a special car.”

“Drive me where?” I asked and again she shook her head.

“He needed some time to cool off. So, he would join us directly there.”

“Where is there?” I tried again, but she simply unlocked the doors of a car and shoved me in.
