Nico stood and brushed off his trousers, casting a uneasy glance behind him. "So what now?"

"Now you three will bring my father home." Lana stated with a slur. She struggled to her feet from the cross-legged position on the grass.

Callie stared at her with her mouth hanging open. "Irene?"

"This is Lana," Sidney said by way of introduction. "It would help if you gave us somewhere to start looking for him."

Lana grunted; her exhaustion obvious when she stumbled over a long tuft of grass and fell flat on her face. She struggled to roll onto her back and stared wide-eyed at the stars.

Sidney ran to help her up. "Are you okay?" she asked, reaching her hand out for Lana to take. Lana didn't move. She continued to stare blankly at the darkened sky.

Nico joined Sidney to stand over the witch. "What's wrong with her?"

"It looks a lot like a trance. I've seen it happen to others before."

"What do you want to do with her?"

Sidney knelt on the ground and placed one arm under Lana's knees and the other behind her back. "Take her back to the bus. She'll wake up in her own time."

What little light the full moon provided, faded quickly when heavy clouds rolled in off the North Sea. Sidney picked up her pace. She could feel the chill of the rising wind blowing against her back.

"Looks like we're in for a storm." Dainton observed, stepping aside to let Sidney enter the bus.

Callie and Nico followed close on her heels. They brushed past Sidney, who was setting Lana down across the front seats, to take their own seats half way down the aisle. Harmony sat with a man two seats in front of them. Callie nodded to her as she passed.

Susan jumped on board behind Emily. "That's everyone. Where to?" she asked Sidney.

"Until she wakes up, I don't have a clue."

"We can't stay here. It's too open."

"Where do you suggest?" Sidney straightened after pulling a blanket over Lana and turned to face Susan and Emily.

Emily screwed her face up in thought. "Wasn't there a sign for a Bed & Breakfast along this road?"

"I'd give my right arm for a hot bath." Susan's face twitched with a wry smile.

"Same here," Dainton agreed. "Do we have anything left that we can pay with?"

"A couple of small things, perhaps enough for one room."

The man beside Harmony stood and cleared his throat. "Perhaps I can be of some help now that there a fewer of us. I know someone who would be willing to give you shelter for the night."

Sidney studied him for a moment, wondering why he hadn't left with the others. She attempted to rifle through his thoughts only to discover that he had a very strong block in place. It wasn't a natural block.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"My name is Graeme..."

Emily gasped. "Graeme of Clogh? How? We heard you were dead."

"Had it not been for your new friends, Emily, I would be. I owe them my life."
