A knock sounded on the door and Miles stuck his head in. “Percy’shere.”

Jaya waved him in, Charlotte following. “I nicked some clothes from Kieran for your dad,” she said. “And we broughtgrapes.”

“Grapes?” Jayaqueried.

Charlotte waved her one good hand. “Don’t ask. It’s an Irishthing.”

Miles set down the bag that presumably held the clothes Charlotte had stolen from their host at the black site farm, and Charlotte nodded at Jaya’s dad. “Good to see you madeit.”

Jaya made hasty introductions, and Jon brought Sean back to the moment. “Mr. O’Sullivan, I don’t know if Percy’s found the cross or not, but you need to tell us everything you can about the Trelawney crypt and the people who shot you, and you need to do it fast. If Percy ties our hands, there’s nothing I can do to helpyou.”

“Trelawney?” Sean chuckled. “That was a ruse, lad. The cross is in a crypt all right, but those no-good Trelawneys sure aren’t hiding it for me. If you want to find Finn and recover the cross, here’s what you need toknow.”

Jaya and Jon both leaned in tolisten.
