“The assassins may be gone for now, but trouble’s never very far away. If you don’t believe me, hang around for a while. You’ll see.”
Rhianna laughed again. “Guess I could stay a little while longer. But you’re the one who’s going to explain it to my parents.”

Later that evening, while Kevin and Chris were drinking scog in Kevin’s bedroom, Chris asked, “Is Rhianna going back to North Amden or will she be joining Landis on the island?”
“Neither right now. She’s going to stay here for a while.”
“Why? I thought this was just to get Rolan’s men out of North Amden.”
“It was, but she likes it here, and she’s made a few promises she’d like to keep.”
Chris nodded slowly. “How long do you think she might hang around?”
“I don’t know, but she’s not in a hurry to go.”
Chris finished his scog and set his mug on the tray. “I’m going to turn in. I’ll take the tray down tomorrow morning when I go for coffee.”
Kevin nodded as Chris got up and walked towards his bedroom. “Good night.”
“Good night,” Chris said as he shut his door. Then Chris turned to his empty room and fist pumped the air. “Yes!”
Kevin leaned down and rubbed Nikki’s ears. “Well, we got her to stay. Now all we have to do is find some way to get her back in the castle. If you come up with any ideas on that one, feel free to share.”
“Woof!”
