  David repressed an insubordinate groan and said, “Yes, sir.”

  “Good,” the man said. “You are packed, I trust.”

  “Yes.”

  “Good, you are to meet Harlan at Borgin Keep in Vermont,” the man stated.

  David stiffened. “You want me to go to Borgin Keep?”

  “You’re not being eliminated,” the man said. “Quite the opposite, you’re being promoted. We think your particular talents would be much better employed at a permanent facility rather than in scouting potential locations. I need you to meet with a man named Harlan. He’ll explain everything.”

  “But what about this,” David protested. “There’s something here.”

  “And I will look into it,” the man barked. “Am I understood, David?”

  Clenching his teeth, David answered, “Perfectly, sir.”

  “Good. Now leave the house, get out of Amherst, and don’t look back,” the man ordered. “I will have another investigator on the way within the hour.”

  Before David could respond, the man ended the call.

  David swore, slammed the phone down into its cradle, and stormed out of the house. Jonathan Engberg still lay on his stomach. A dark trickle could be seen from the edge of the man’s scalp. David considered whether or not he should put the man out of his misery, and then shook the idea away.

  The next investigator would make that decision.

  From the forest came the sound of a woman screaming, followed by that of a girl, and David wondered if they had found Denise’s body, or if the entity in the woods had found them.

  He shrugged, turned away, and left.

  Behind him, Jonathan Engberg stirred, the deaths of his wife and daughter dragging him out of unconsciousness.
