Elspeth gulped. “Thank you, Uncle Irving, but for now, I need to go back.”

Irving didn’t like that she was going back so soon, and his face fell. “It’s not every day you come to see me. What’s the hurry?”

Elspeth smiled. “Callum’s probably still trapped. When I jumped ship, he didn’t come with me. I need to know how he’s doing.” She must find out if Callum was fine.
