“It’s a long shot You know that, right?” I asked

“It’s better than anything we’ve got right now No one knohere he is or what he’s doing This is our best chance I think we should take it”

So ten minutes later, we all sat in my car as I drove us to Sian’s house

It wasn’t a large house like ours, but it wasn’t small either with a nice private yard

After pulling into the driveway, I turned off the engine and looked toward the house There was no sign of life, but that

“I’ the chills You don’t think Sian’s house is haunted, do you?” William asked

I glanced in the rearview ht now?”

“I feel like I’ watched” William looked up at the house “Co it?”

“You watch way too much horror,” I said as I climbed out of the car and looked up at the house

It was dark outside and the streetlight overlooking the house wasn’t working I pointed at it “Convenient,” I said

Less light made it easier to move around

We moved toward Sian’s house She’d handed over the key to Lucas when she arrived o for us to take care of her Gideon slid the key into the lock and turned it

I didn’t knohy, but it sounded so fucking loud

Gritting ht now We’d left the house without a word to our fathers, and noere entering a known htest of ideas In fact, as far as ideas went, I was going to rate this a big giant, fucking stupid one

Also, I was pissed at Willia hi me too, and I didn’t like it

I didn’t believe in ghosts or spirits or any of that kind of bullshit I was the kind of guy who had to see it to know it existed, within reason, of course

We entered the main hallway, and it was small in comparison to what I was used to I bet this pissed Alexander off no end He’d taken the All Saints girl, and still, he lived in a smaller home than all of them

No co a decent lawyer

“Anyone else getting the sense that Alexander’s rage has been building for years?” William asked

We all grunted our agreement

So to head upstairs, see if I find anything”

“Screahost,” William said
