Chapter 41
Liam and Caleb were relieved but confused to find us all rocking up at the house two hours later. It had been a torturously slow hike back with a blind man. They told us that the trip down the river had opened up Harry’s wounds pretty badly. Because of the cuts on his hands, he’d struggled to brace himself properly as the canoe had bumped him around, and by the time the ambos got to him he was slipping in and out of consciousness again. Noah had gone to the hospital with him.
The first thing I did when I got in the door was to call Senior Sergeant Loxwood. When he arrived in a dust cloud of lights and sirens, I had no real explanation to give.
‘You say you found him trespassing?’ the police sergeant asked.
‘Yes.’
‘And now he’s blind?’
‘Yes. But seems okay other than that.’
