“No.” She smiled back at him. “And I have no intention of baring my soul to you. Caleb is right, I’m not giving you any more burdens.” She tilted her head. “Where shall we go? I’m going to let you take me around the property to all the unhappy places and destruction that will probably make me sad and angry. Caleb carefully avoided showing me any of those because he wanted me to see your brighter vision of the MacDuff’s Run to come.”

“Not a bad idea,” he said warily. “Better than usual for Caleb.”

“Kind,” she agreed. “But I have to see both sides so that I can be prepared for what’s on the horizon. I’ve always loved the Run. I will help you heal what they did here. However, I have to know the damage before I can do that.” She headed for the door. “Let’s get it over with. You’re a busy man.”

MacDuff followed her; his brows rose as he passed Caleb. “Join us?”

Jane answered for him. “I don’t think that would be a good idea. He’s also a busy man, and he has calls to make and plans regarding what we need to do about Bohdan. I wouldn’t want to take up more of his time.”

“Jane,” Caleb said.

“It’s true.” She glanced at him over her shoulder. “I’ve made demands you don’t like. I had to do it, but you don’t have to hold my hand through all the hours of the day.” She paused. “Campbell. Please, Caleb. Check on Campbell.”

She didn’t wait for an answer but left the library.

“Yes and no. No direct word on Campbell,” Palik said when Caleb reached him. “We know he disappeared from his home one evening after his office files were rifled by two thugs that afternoon. Jane had been seen going into the office by the owner of one of the food carts in the streets outside the building. The receptionist in the office was interrogated by them and identified Jane’s photo. She was beaten badly, but not killed. They must have been flashing that photo all over the village.”

“It was their second visit to the village and Bohdan was impatient,” Caleb said grimly. “Where does the ‘yes’ come into this?”
