Chapter 14: Calla's Fall
"Emmett," Jarrett said, "the gray coats answer to the Alpha until noon tomorrow."
"Where would she take her?"
"Somewhere my grandmother can reach in ten minutes."
We ran.
The Elder's house sat behind the hall, a stone cottage with a root cellar dug into the hill.
The five gray coats still on duty stood at the cellar door in a line.
Jarrett did not slow down.
"Stand aside," he said. "That is the Alpha's order."
They looked at each other.
The old gray coat from the motel lot stepped out of the cellar's shadow.
He had her duffel coat folded over one arm.
"I did not take her, Alpha," he said. "I came to stand at the door so no one else would."
"Open it."
He pulled the bolt.
The healer sat on an upturned crate at the bottom of the steps with a little girl asleep across her lap.
The child was maybe six, in a pink coat, with her thumb in her mouth.
"They said the girl goes to the border by morning," the healer whispered.
