Chapter 65 A moment later, Ciaran drove out of the national park, headed toward Mortlake. Both Tadgh and Jo sat in the back seat. Ciaran glanced at Tadgh in the mirror. “Okay, if you have anything on your mind, speak now.” “You couldn’t refrain from punching Stefan? What if those guys had actually shot at you?” Tadgh scolded. “They didn’t.” “Is that all you have to say? I thought I was the reckless one in this family!” Tadgh exclaimed. “It’s done. There’s no point arguing about it. Where did you plant the bug, Ciaran?” Jo asked. “In Madeline’s pocket. I slipped her a pocket knife, too.” Tadgh shook his head. “Why didn’t you give her a gun?” “The biggest compromise I made was to agree to go along with you two and let Madeline handle this by herself. I can’t offer more than that.”
