ONE SENTENCE THREAD

[soulsearcher]

William bowed his head to take it all in, then, transfixed upon Abigail, said, "You'll never have reason to be afraid again."

[TW]

"Thomas, you need to eat and regain your strength." A voice said from the door to the room, it was Rebecca carrying a plate of food.

[sweetpea]

Crane,could not take his eyes off Rebecca,he asked,"Rebecca when did you arrive and what are you doing here?"

[soulsearcher]

Something about her distant gaze was distrubing.

[TW]

Crane could tell that she was fighting a battle within herself.

[sweetpea]

Rebecca,still had strong feelings for Crane,but after Miles and the way he had treated her,she would have a hard time trusting men again,but he was Abagails's father and she was here to help in any way that she could.

[soulsearcher]

Noting her strange behavior, Crane pursued, "Rebecca, you seem distrubed; can we help you?"

[TW]

William realized that Crane and Rebecca needed time alone to talk, touching Abagail's arm he nodded toward the door.

[soulsearcher]

When they were alone, Crane drew nearer to Rebecca and sensed that she was entranced.

[TW]

Opening the drawer of the night stand he removed his service revolver, handing it to Rebecca he said, " If Alistair sent you here to kill me, then do it now!"

[soulsearcher]

For an instant she pressed the revolver to his chest, but suddenly dropped it like a hot poker, collapsing into Crane's arms.

[TW]

With tears streaming down her face, in a weak and quivering voice she cried, "I can't do this."

[soulsearcher]

"Tell me where he is," Crane almost commanded, "and we will foil his muderous plot against more innocent victims."

[TW]

"I don't know," Rebecca sobbed almost in a whisper, "the last I saw of him, he was in Poole, boarding a skiff with a couple of his men."

[soulsearcher]

"And when was that," Crane insisted, "or have you lost all track of time?"
