Tarquin couldn't quite figure it out, so he just tried to comfort Elysia.
"Grandma's shocked, that's all. She probably never imagined anyone could cup with such a dangerous
virus," he said.
Elysia blinked at him, her blue eyes wide. "Yeah, | guess that makes sense."
Tarquin put on a playful grin and gave her cheek a little pinch. "Don't overthink it. The important thing is, if
Grandma's got a way to beat it, that's good news!"
"Yeah! You're right!"
“Alright, get ssleep. I'm gonna go get washed up."
He coaxed Elysia to lie down, kissed her gently on the forehead, then headed into the bathroom.
The moment he was out of her sight, Tarquin's easy expression vanished, replaced by a storm of thoughts.
A suspicion flashed across his mind: Could Tracey be involved with the mysterious figure? The virus had been
unleashed by this person, and Tracey seemed to know about it before anyone else.
Was there something between Tracey and the mysterious figure? Was he just overthinking it, or did they actually
know each other? Was there sconnection he hadn't seen?
Stepping into the bathroom, Tarquin turned on the cold mountain spring water and let it pour over him, trying to
focus.
The more he thought about it, the less simple things seemed.

around him for thirty years-it was tto end it.
He wasn't about to let a single clue slip by. But he couldn't act recklessly, not yet. He needed to be sure. Once he
had proof, he'd strike without hesitation.
Tarquin finished his shower in record time, checked to see that Elysia was sound asleep, pulled on a clean T-shirt
and jeans, and slipped out the door. He needed answers now-waiting until morning wasn't an option.
But luck wasn't on his side. Tracey's cozy cabin was dark, not a light on anywhere. She was clearly asleep.
Tarquin frowned, frustrated, but he didn't want to barge in and wake her up. He lingered outside the door for a
while, debating, then finally turned away and headed back to his room.
That night, he didn't sleep a wink.
As soon as the sun peeked over the horizon, Tarquin was up and out, making his way back to Tracey's place.
Elysia and Baby were still fast asleep when he left.
The yard was quiet, not a soul in sight.
He reached Tracey's little log cabin and raised his hand to knock, but suddenly there was a thud behind him. He
spun around, just in tto see Bernard and Evan dropping down from the roof, landing behind him without a
sound.
Tarquin blinked in surprise. "Bernard. Evan."
Bernard gave him a knowing look. "You're awfully eager to see the old lady, huh?”
"Huh?"
Bernard
smirked,
"| saw you last night, you know. You rushed over here, looking all serious, then saw the lights were out and left.
You're here again at the crack of dawn, looking just as tense. Got something urgent?"
Tarquin hesitated. Bernard was one of the few people in this world who could tail him without getting noticed.
Last night, when he'd cto see Tracey, he hadn't sensed anyone else around. Bernard really was a force to be
reckoned with-thank God they weren't enemies.
He nodded respectfully. "There's something on my mind, yeah."
Bernard didn't press. "Well, you'll have

"The herb garden?"
"Yeah, she left before dawn."
"...Where is it? Can | go find her?" Tarquin asked, already itching to get moving.

Tarquin grimaced. He knew Tracey was a legendary doctor, hiding out in the mountains and growing her own
herbs. But still...
“She'll be safe up there on her own?"
Evan grinned. "Of course! Grandma Tracey's tough as nails."
