Chapter 40

BOTH HIS GIRLS WERE sleeping. Ari looked so small tucked up in their bed, with Pru curled around her. But she was safe. That was the important thing.

Flynn slipped out of the room, quietly shutting the door behind him. The volunteers had been fed and sent home. Someone else had dealt with their two guests, who'd refused to allow their rooms to be comped. Xander was down at the Sheriff's Department, doing whatever it was he did at the end of a search. It was down to family in the house, and that meant it was time for him to face the music.

Pru's sisters were gathered in the family room. They looked up as he strode in.

"They're sleeping, finally." He dropped heavily into a chair himself, as the past twenty-four hours caught up with him.

"You look like you ought to be sleeping, too," Kennedy observed.

"Probably. But there are things to discuss, and I'd as soon do it without Pru. She's been through enough."
