The Watch (The Red Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
It was just as well. I wanted to say “I told you so” about Meritt—he definitely was taking me seriously, wasn’t treating me like a child or a pet—and that was sure to rub Farrell Dean wrong, and the last thing I needed to be doing was making things worse between those two. As the day wore on, though, I began to get truly worried. Farrell Dean had never stood me up before, had never been late even by a minute. Now he was a full day late, and more. I supposed he could be coping with some huge mechanical issue, but wouldn’t he at least come to meals? When blustery Garry started chewing out Felix for taking the best hoe, I didn’t immediately rush to break it up. Instead I took the opportunity to edge close to Ezzie. “Have you seen Farrell Dean lately?” I said. Ezzie shook his head, his dark eyes worried. “His bunk was empty last night,” he said. “Nobody knows where he is—at least, nobody’s saying. I was hoping you knew something.” Mutely I shook my head, and a hard cold fear began to grow in the pit of my stomach.
