"So what's the game plan?" Vaughn struggled to focus.
"Storm the castle." Kerr grinned at the horrified expressions. "What? Sounds good to me. Tell me a location. I'll get us there."
His ability didn't allow him to find a person like Shelby's power did. But Kerr was right—he couldn't get lost. As long as he had an end point, he could spin in circles yet somehow find the place. Great plan, as long as Mariah was at the place they homed in on.
Vaughn clapped his hands together. "Let's go."
"Wait." Ruth's clear voice sliced through the energized air, stopping them all cold. She tilted her head, like she detected a scent. "Be ready for that creature. It's out there."
"Done. What else?" Garrison motioned to her.
She opened her mouth, then shut it. "That's all."
"I just bet," Vaughn muttered.
Eric stepped forward. "Want help?"
"No. Stay here and keep everyone else safe," Garrison said.
"I can come with you," Odie appeared next to Ruth and slid his arm around her waist.
"No," she said.
"Yes,cher. I will add my strength to theirs."
Her eyes went wide. "But you're no longer im—"
"Impressively good looking as you?Mon dieu, it's a cross you must bear, being around someone as hideous as me." His beard framed a rakish smile, and he kissed her on the forehead. "Well, gentlemen. What are we waiting for?"
Ruth's smooth face went marble pale as she backed out of the living room. "I'll get Zach and Mr. Taggart sorted out for the evening."
Garrison brushed a kiss over Sara's lips. "Be safe, please."
Urgency drove Vaughn. In no time, they had the horses saddled and moving in the direction Kerr indicated. If the end point changed, they had only Shelby's ability to redirect them. A few miles into the National Forest, the cell phone signals wouldn't work well enough, even to get a text out.
