FAMILY.
Chapter Fourteen
Monday Afternoon
The Castle
Stalling…
Yeah, it wasn’t easy to pull this distraction off. Gabby knew that she had to look like a lunatic every time Graham, who was fully dressed in his kilt, tried to leave the kitchen to do something.
She practically had to jump him, and steer him back to the kitchen so that he didn’t get wind of what was going on behind the castle.
First, it was the goats alerting to someone there.
Then, it was him wanting to check on the horses.
Finally, she pointed and told him to sit, or he was going to get his kilt dirty.
The look on his face…
Yeah, he thought she was nuts, and maybe she was, but if he went to a window, or out the kitchen door, he was going to see Finn’s family decorating the courtyard.
Then, the jig was up.
So, with Gryphen’s help, they got the man caged in, and knew they needed to distract him.
So she gave him a laptop and told him to research Catherine the best he could.
Would he find anything?
No.
But it would keep him out of trouble.
She hoped.
“I’m not finding much,” Graham finally admitted. “I’m not really an investigator, and I’m thinking more about my wedding than this mystery.”
Oh, no one doubted that. Only, they were worried about the wedding too.
She reassured him.
As did Ian as he helped her wrangle the groom-to-be.
“You’re doing a good job,” she stated, smiling at him as her fingers moved over the keyboard of her own tablet.
She was in the archives, and looking for something to figure out what was going on.
Like who killed Ceit?
Who was in the lake?
And where was Ciarán’s bones?
There was no doubt this castle was going to stay haunted until they figured that out. While Ceit was not roaming around, they didn’t know if it was because she was satisfied that they’d told the truth about her being murdered, or she just didn’t like the dark energy lurking, and wanted to be safe.
Time would tell.
