When he got her downstairs to the kitchen, she sat at the island, and Graham made her a cup of tea as she calmed down.
She was shaking, and no one could blame her.
NO.
ONE.
“It’s okay. I’m here,” Finn said, letting her lean against him. “They can’t hurt you,” he said.
She clarified.
It had nothing to do with‘THEY’.
It was only one of them.
“The two spirits close to me were trying to protect me,” she said. “It was the dark one in the corner. When you left, I heard the door closing, and I figured it was a draft. Then, it showed up.”
They didn’t know whatITwas, but someone needed to put that spirit back where it belonged.
In Hell.
Tony touched her arm.
“So those ghosts just protected you from that other ghost?” Tony asked.
Gabby nodded.
“The one locked me in here and was stalking me around the room. I yelled for help, and they appeared. They wouldn’t let it hurt me.”
Graham was to the point.
“I think they are trying to tell us that they are here, but not dangerous. It’s that darkness that’s the problem. That has to be what is after Gabby.”
And unfortunately, it was a problem they didn’t know how to fix.
Honestly, knowing this didn’t make Finn feel any better about what was going on.
His woman was still in danger.
And that was a problem for him.
“They were like a wall, standing there and protecting me from it. That pissed it off too. We have to figure out what is going on here. If not, this is never going to stop.”
Oh, they were aware.
And that was a problem.
Because Elizabeth Blackhawk would be coming here soon enough, and if this thing targeted women…
She was a sitting duck.

Finn needed to get his woman out of there, so since the sun was going down, he was going to take Gabby for a quick horseback ride.
