Following The Trail of Blood

After finishing his conversation with Cora, Micah headed back to his room, unaware that his family was already preparing to visit Darcy's house.

Still thinking about Cora's high praise of Darcy, Micah impulsively pulled out his phone and dialled.

It rang twice before a familiar, cheerful voice picked up.

"What's up?"

"Hey," Micah said, unable to hide the slight lift in his tone. "Do you still have work today?"

"Nope, the kid I tutor on Saturdays cancelled last minute."

Darcy replied, unbothered.

"Nice!" Micah grinned, already standing up.

"I am coming to get you. Let's have some fun today!"

Micah said excitedly.

"Wait, what?" Darcy barely had time to react before the line cut off.
