Chapter 28

“All the women were healthy,” Ronan mutters as they pull into the forest’s parking lot.

“You think that’s a connection?” Dustin asks.

“It could be. It at least rules out some of the creatures Harry has sent me info on. Certain creatures only prey on the weak and sick. This isn’t the case with our women,” Ronan says, getting out of the car.

“The path Cassandra took is a bit of a walk from here, can you manage it in those boots?” Ronan asks, looking at Dustin’s choice of footwear. The boots reach just under his knees, and they have a platform of several inches.

“I can manage it. Walking in a forest can’t be any harder than dancing on a slippery bar top,” Dustin says casually, heading toward the paths leading into the forest.
