“Not at the moment, Caleb,” Bohdan said. “I’ll get to you eventually. I have great plans for your demise. But I’m more interested in your Jane’s fate. You’ve caused me a few headaches by stashing her at that castle. I need to show you that you can’t do that to me.” His voice lowered. “And I believe I know exactly how to do it. Are you familiar with a T. S. Campbell, Jane?”

“I never heard of him.”

“You answered too quickly. Because he remembers you. Though it took a while before he’d admit it. We had to check his records. As I said, this is the second visit we’ve paid to this village. The first time I gave orders not to draw attention to why we were here. But when we came back here after the attack on MacDuff’s castle, I told them to tear this village apart to find out why you were here.” He paused. “We found someone who recognized you as visiting at Campbell’s office. And then we had to persuade him to tell the truth. I’m particularly good at that kind of persuasion.”

“I’m sure you are,” she said bitterly. “But I don’t know him.”

“Yes, you do, and I’m going to see how well you know him in the next few days. I’ll call you back and let him talk to you…if he still can.” His voice was almost a whisper now. “And then I’ll let you beg Caleb to give himself up so that I won’t cut you open as I intend to do to Campbell.”

She felt sick. “You could be bluffing. How do I know that you aren’t?”

“Because you can tell how much I’d enjoy it. I’d go very deep, Jane MacGuire. What would I find?”

“You son of a bitch.”

“I’ll talk to you soon.” He cut the connection.

“Jane.” Caleb took her in his arms and held her tight. “You’re shaking like a leaf in a windstorm.”

“He’s a monster.” She was clutching at him. “We can’t let him do that to Campbell. He’s innocent, just like all those other people Bohdan has killed. Did you hear him? I can’t let him do that.”

“We won’t, but I have to know everything you know. I have to know about Campbell.”

“I was going to tell you. I just didn’t know how. There seemed to be so many things that were in the way. And I thought that no one would—”

“Jane.” He gently shook her. “Stop giving me excuses and tell me now.”

She drew a deep breath and then said in a rush, “I’m going to have a baby.”

He blinked. “What?”
