“I wonder if we can all do it?” Raiden asks.
“I’m up for trying,” Griff says. He looks at River, “How do we do it?”
“Think of connecting your mind to Dimitri’s and then knock,” River explains really simply.
The van falls silent as everyone except for Evander, who is driving, tries to do what River has described. When all of their expressions fill with surprise, I feel my eyebrows hit my hairline.
“No fucking way,” I exclaim. “You all managed it?”
They all nod, still looking shocked.
“You shouldn’t be able to,” Coen says. “Kar can’t even do it.”
“What? Seriously?” River asks.
I nod and then explain further, “Kar can’t reach for Dimitri, he can only hear Dimitri if Dimitri reaches for him.”
“He’s had to go,” Reed says. “He sounded as surprised as we were.”
“If not more so,” Griff adds.
“I wonder what it means?” Raiden unsurprisingly asks.
Before anyone can answer, my phone buzzes with more than one text alert all at once.
“What the hell?” I ask as I pull it out of my pocket, and I frown. “I’ve got messages from Sully and Kar.”
“That’s interesting. What do they say?” Evander asks.
Clicking on Sully’s message, my eyebrows rise, “Murray is in Ireland. Sully’s not quite sure where in Ireland, but he knows with absolute certainty that she’s there.” I quickly click on the other message, “Well, I’ll be damned, I’ll give you three guesses where Pete is.”
“Kar has found him already?” Raiden asks, sounding shocked.
I nod, “Yeah, guess where.”
“Ireland,” River replies.
“Bingo,” I reply.
“No fucking way,” Coen exclaims. “Surely that can’t be a coincidence.”
Doc shakes his head, “I highly doubt it. One of them would have been suspicious enough, but both of them, that’s just weird.”
“Do you think Pete is with Murray?” Evander asks.
“I hope not. If he is, then there is a good possibility that he’s in danger,” Reed frowns.
“With what we now know about Murray, I think it’s not too much of a reach to assume that he may be in danger if they are together,” Doc replies.
“Agreed. She clearly doesn’t hold any loyalty to him or Trieneliea anymore,” Coen adds.
“I guess we’re going to Ireland,” Ransom says with a smile. “I’m good with that.”
I nod, “I did tell House and Ethel that we would be back soon. I don’t mind at all to be honest. I love Ireland, House, and Ethel.”
“Neither do I. House is awesome, and we know that it’s secure,” Griff says. “Maybe it’s a good thing that we’re going to be getting away from here and all of our usual places. Casimir shouldn’t know that we’re in Ireland. Not unless someone tells him, and hopefully whoever tells him won’t know for a while.”
