Chapter 9

“Are you from before?” the Ranger asked, voice rough with tension.

“What?” Libs snapped out of his daze.

“Were you the one watching me and Blaise earlier?” the Ranger clarified, eyes scanning the rest of him.

“Blaise?” Libs’ eyes darted around the room, trying to search out the Ranger’s companion. One of them was bad enough; he didn’t think Jane would be pleased if they had to deal with more.

“My horse. Was it you?” The Ranger caught his eyes and held them, gaze sharpened like a stake, trapping Libs into answering.

“It was.”

“Why?”

“Jane wants to see you,” he replied, turning abruptly. “You should come with me.”
