He didn’t have the strength, however. Especially not as the pain intensified even further.

He was not a prisoner here, Abalone said as he went over and reclosed the thing. Why escape?The more important question, Phury said, was how can we be sure he’s actually gone? This is a big house. Lots of hiding places—

Maybe this will explain things. Z went over to the desk in the corner and held up a sealed envelope. It’s got your name on it.The Brother brought the thing over and handed it to Abalone.With shaking hands, Abalone opened the back flap and took out the single sheet of paper that had been folded twice.
