Both Gabby and Ian nodded.
“We were sitting here and out of the way of the wall,” she admitted.
Well, Finn looked infinitely happy to hear that. The last thing he wanted was for his pregnant woman to be hurt by a tomb wall.
That would take a lot of explaining to Fiona because she was all about that grandbaby in his fiancée’s belly.
The two construction guys shrugged, and tried to brush it off, but it had been so loud that they heard it across the castle in the tower.
“Aye, Lad, we literally hit one rock with a shovel, to test the stability, and the whole wall came crashing down on us. It’s a good thing you had us here to do this. Someone could have been hurt.”
Oh, shit.
He hoped they weren’t.
“Are you okay?” Graham asked, as he stepped over the stones to get closer to them.
It was incredibly cold in there, and he had goosebumps on his flesh. Somehow, he didn’t think that wall came down on its own.
It felt…spooky in there.
The one man nodded at his question.
“It scared the hell out of me, and I’m not doing that again in this castle.”
Yeah, well, he knew not to do shit like that. This was a very old structure, and Tony had found that the wall had movement when he was here.
There was no doubt it would have come down on its own at some point—or with the help of the dead.
Apparently.
Pulling out his phone, Graham sent them money, plus extra for their trouble. It didn’t look like they were needed there any longer.
In fact, it was for the best if they headed out. They didn’t need them lingering to wander around behind that wall. Sadly, they were going to have to do that.
“We appreciate you, Lads. As long as it’s not going to collapse further, we’re good here.”
The two men were more than happy to get paid and get out of there.
FAST.
As they headed out, Ian hopped down off of Duncan’s crypt, and helped Gabby down.
“Is it a good time to mention that right before they started that, it felt…off?” he asked.
Oh, Jaysus.
That was what Graham was worried about.
Behind him, two of the other men just shook their heads, and mostly out of exasperation.
Well, Gryphen and Finn were.
“What’s that mean?” Michael asked.
Graham hadn’t been able to talk to D’Artangnan since the crash happened, but he was keeping his distance between them.
And that had him terrified.
