"H-here you go, Sir", the lad timidly offered, his arm clearly trembling as he handed Ryland the note.
A couple of copper coins sent him on his way, and Ryland examined the note. It was addressed to "Devlin and Ryland". When opened, it simply read, "Help! At 26 Anchovy Lane, in danger!", and was signed, "Brigit".
Eppy read over Ryland's shoulder. A worried expression came over her face.
"Oh, you'll need to go help her. This sea captain fellow must have been helping her and they killed him...they'll probably kill her next!"
