“Why?” Robert asks,
“Is there a problem?”
“Well the phone
should have worked,” Tom tells him, “That it didn't means that
she's probably in a protected space.”
“What kind of
protected space?” Robert asks cautiously.
“I don't want this to
worry you,” Tom says, as a wave of blue washes through him, “But
it's likely she's in the court of one of the Fears.”
“How could that not
worry me?” Robert explodes.
“Because no harm can
come to her,” Tom explains, “She's just as powerful as you. She
might be contained, but it's highly unlikely she's been hurt.”
