"They forced their way in!" the man gibbered in fear, "made me look after them, told me none of the other guests was allowed to see them. When they left, they left a man behind, said people might come..."
"And they were right," Ms. Madison snarled. "Where did they go?"

"I don't know!" the innkeeper screamed, "really, I don't. They said they were leaving for secure quarters, I..."
"Come." Ms. Madison swept out of the inn, Lady Sylvia scurrying after her.
She leapt back into the car, followed by Lady Sylvia. They drove back to the towers of Mainstone.
"Cursed?" Ms. Madison turned to address her friend. "Or is someone attacking your family?"
"This isn't my family home," Lady Sylvia noted grimly.
