Wayland's Secret 3: The Blood Father
 |
THE THREE OF them chartered a ship¸ the Calling Gull¸ to cross the storm-laden sea from England to Ireland at first light on the fourth day of their stay in Scotland. They had picked up a few clues from examining Laird Connor's room in the Scottish Castle -- Edward had discovered a few letters secreted away that shone new light on Kevin's connection to the Laird¸ wisely he kept them from Anna.
It was on the last day of their crossing to Ireland that he shared the contents with Sebastian and Jane as they sat in Edward's cabin¸ the ship rocked gently on the now calmer waters as the crew busied themselves with their night rota.
"Ye're probably wondering why I've called us together only now¸" he began and took a swig from a nearby rum bottle. "Or why I've been so quiet for this trip?"
Jane nodded and rested her chin in her hands¸ she clasped them together under it. "I'd thought it was an aversion to sailing perhaps. The storm on the crossing has been particularly vicious¸ frightened me at times."
"I admit¸" Sebastian added. "I didn't much care for it¸ but go on¸ you look like you have something heavy on your shoulders¸ my friend."
