Chapter 48: SILLA

I woke up in my borrowed bed and didn’t know how I got there. The last thing I remember is Gabriel whispering me awake at the other place. Chantal was still fast asleep beside me, and I settled down onto the pillow to watch the light play against the window as I went over the night again in my head.

There were so many questions. Like, why had we come back after only a few hours? Why had we gone there in the first place? And what did all of his have to do with Sam and Billy? I was beginning to think Chantal might be onto something, but what could it be?

Surely, it’s not the missing kids she talked about. Stuff like that only happens to people you don’t know or on TV, right? Whatever the case, I’m pretty sure Gabriel isn’t about to tell me. He hadn’t mentioned anything on the drive there, and I hadn’t asked because I wouldn’t know where to start.
