“Ridge, we aren’t invisible, and I am concerned Warrick’s clan will be here soon looking for Meridian, the stone and the book. If they find us, it’s over. My father will drag us all back, and all will be lost,” Slaten sadly commented.
Ridge didn’t look at Slaten when he spoke and kept his eyes on the horizon. He watched the old farm road driveway that led up to the house. “Slaten, I know you are upset and scared - we all are - but you need to have some faith in yourself and the rest of us. Look up ahead there at the end of the driveway.”
Ridge pointed to the loud old black truck making its way down the driveway.
“Aiden?” Slaten questioned.
Ridge nodded.
“We have someone else to look after now. Talon is risking a lot for us, and I promised I would watch over him. Looks like his grandparents got him out of jail.” Ridge snickered.
