be something here that can lead us to Chase.”
    They followed the blood and traced every path out of the castle. No room was left unturned. Reed and Simon focused on his location all the time. Nothing.
    Pouring rain washed over the castle and all its land right before the sun rose. All tracks were erased. The pearl-colored sun rose in the light purple sky. The day may have turned out bright, but darkness and sorrow hovered over Reed and everyone in the fay community. Tempers were flaring all around the grounds and beyond. Everyone was looking at everyone else. No one knew anything.
    Thirty hellish hours into the search, word finally came to Reed. A delivery van had been found fifty miles away. The people of that area hoped Chase hadn’t been in it, because it was burned and at the bottom of Deadfall Cliff. Reed ran a shaky hand through his hair as he hurried to his transport.
    To Reed’s dismay, thunder cracked and rain poured from the sky. This was the second time it had rained since Chase had been taken. The rain of sorrow that fell on Reed’s heart had not stopped at all. Hope slowly trickled away. Pain seared Reed’s heart. If he could go back in time, Reed would never have left Chase’s side.
    At Deadfall Cliff, Reed looked down at the burnt van and prayed Chase hadn’t been in it. As he looked down at the remains of the van, something in him snapped. The thought of Chase plunging to his death and catching on fire was more than he could mentally take. His chest felt crushed by the weight of so much sorrow and agony.
    Simon had remained calm through it all. He was the one who organized the investigative team and held Reed back when he demanded to go with them. “You can’t go, Reed. It’s too dangerous. You are our king.”
    Reed knew Simon was right, but he couldn’t control himself. “Let go of me, Simon. I have to go with them.”
    “No. I can’t let you do this. You are too important to our people. Think, man. You are needed.” Simon tightened his grip on Reed when Reed tried to follow the team.
    “Let go of me. Don’t make me hurt you.”
    Simon’s blue eyes glowed with determination. “You know I can’t let you go. Not like this. You’re not yourself right now. Let me handle this situation.”
    Deep down Reed knew Simon was right. But, as he watched the last investigator drop out of sight, he lost it. A driving need to see Chase had his fist connecting with Simon’s cheek.
    Simon swayed but didn’t let go of Reed’s arm. “Give it up. They are gone. Let them do their job.”
    Fury stormed across Reed’s nerves. Simon was keeping him from Chase. In a flash, Reed’s long hair wrapped around Simon’s wrist and tightened until Simon’s hand was forced to relax. Reed turned to the cliff and started running. Simon tackled him in a heartbeat. Reed roared his displeasure. In a quick move he rolled them until he was on top then smashed his fist into Simon’s face. Simon jerked his head out of the way of Reed’s next blow. Reed growled when his hand struck the hard ground.
    “Reed, stop this,” Simon pleaded.
    After jumping to his feet, Reed headed for the cliff again. Simon tackled him again. Several of their men came over, looking lost. Simon commanded them back.
    Reed struggled, then head-butted Simon. “Leave me the fuck alone. I have to get to him.” Reed reared back to head-butt Simon again.
    Tears of compassion flowed down Simon’s cheeks. “You leave me no choice.”
    Reed screamed, “Nooo.”
    Tuning in to his inner power and focusing on Reed’s brainwaves, Simon saturated Reed’s mind with the message that it was time to sleep. He blinked back more tears as Reed’s eyes closed.
    A confused Reed woke to a thunderous sound. He glared at Simon when he saw that the van had just been loaded onto a transport vehicle.
    Simon looked grim. “Welcome back, my king. Part of the team is securing the van and the others are still below, investigating.”
    Reed headed for the transport
