“And then what?”
“And then we go and get Daisy,” said Jones. “Simple.”
“That won’t be enough,” said Gwen. None of them voiced the fact that it was going to be almost impossible, although the knowledge hung in the air around them. “We take her back, they won’t stop until they have her again. We need to find a way to remove her powers. It’s the only option.”
“No,” said William.
Gwen raised a hand. “I don’t want to hear it. I’m not doubting that it feels awful to have your powers gone William, but there’s no other choice.”
“That’s not what I was going to say,” said William. “Taking her powers won’t change anything, she’ll still be a well and they’ll still want her.”
“You can’t know that,” snapped Gwen. But Jones was nodding with slow realisation.
“Madeline’s a well,” said William. “And Lachlan took her powers away. They wouldn’t have made him do that if it would stop her from being a well.”
Gwen rubbed her eyes. “So what do we then? What are you saying?”
William shrugged helplessly.
“There’s only one thing we can do,” said Jones. “We finish what I started a long time ago.”
“What are you saying,” said William.
Jones looked at them both.
“We’re going to kill Albert.”
