“True.” I yawned. “It’s getting late. What time is it?”

Finn cleared his throat. “Just after midnight.”

I opened my eyes. “Uh oh.”

Godric was there. Standing by himself in the field with his hands in his pockets. He stared at the building far away, his back to us.

Cassander moved up next to him, the only one doing so. They both stood and looked at the building with the golems standing as sentinels. Cassander finally asked, “Why didn’t you yell for us when the golems showed up in there?”

“I thought you had your own to deal with. And I was trying to catch that motherfucker. But he was closer to the basement door than I was.”

Godric tensed and leaned forward, his voice filling with rage, “Is that Poppy?”
