After a quick pit stop at the inn to get the rest of our things and Killian’s box, which he had hidden in the woods behind the inn, we drove nonstop for hours in the middle of the night.
We told Twyla about what we were doing at that lodge, about my connection to the boxes, that Killian had also been in a box, and that twenty years had passed since she had been put in there—at least, that was what we assumed since, from what Delia had told us, Killian had been the last supernatural placed in a box before she fled with them.
Twyla was quiet for most of the trip. I wanted to ask her how Soren’s warlocks found her and what happened before she was taken to the box, but she seemed so lost, so confused, I kept quiet.
We stopped at a rest stop when the Hummer was almost out of gas. Killian
