ALANA
“We’ve abandoned them.” Alana flung her hands in the air, nearly
hitting the top of the coach, her stomach twisting into knots.
She’d told Mr. Thomas Reid that very afternoon that she was sailing for
America. He’d seemed unsurprised by her announcement, and a small part of
her suspected he approved of her brother’s insistence on sending her as far
away from Wiltshire, and the murders, as possible.
“They’re our cousins, Aidan.” Alana glowered at her brother. “They
could die.”
“They will survive without our assistance for a few hours while I convey
you to the docks and meet with Patrick.” Aidan’s tight voice belied his
sentiment, his eyes glowing fiercely in the dim cabin. “Both Samantha and
Edward know how to use a pistol, and Benjamin and Thomas are with them.”
“What about Da?” Alana’s gaze flicked to her left.
The white-haired man scrunched in the corner snored lightly, his head
drooping on his chest. He shifted, mumbling in his sleep, his thick brogue
coating the small coach, then fell silent.
“Are you suggesting I should have left him alone on the estate with the
knowledge there is a killer threatening our family?” Aidan arched his
eyebrows, his hand curling around the rifle stretched across his lap, the same
one he’d extracted from their father before shoving him into the coach. “He
would have shot any person who wandered onto our property, friend or
enemy.”
She pursed her lips, a growl of frustration emanating from her throat.
Leaning forward, she hissed, “I meant about sending me to America.”
“You agreed.” Aidan shrugged, unperturbed by her attempt at
intimidation.
“You tricked me!”
A smirk crossed his face—acknowledgment of her accusation.
“I’m quite capable of caring for Da while assisting our cousins in
capturing that vile man who murdered our uncle. You—”
“If you say, ‘I’m a woman,’ I will strike you.”
Another smirk.
“Actually, I was going to say you’re a woman.”
She flew off the bench, a ball of anger and irritation, and swiped at his
face.
Aidan captured her arms and forced her down next to him. Collecting
both her wrists in one hand, he placed a finger over her mouth, his eyes
flicking to their father.
