"After Ginger Snaps"
53. Rumors
Wallace Rowlands pulls up in front of the greenhouse and turns the engine off. He remembers the rumor that the greenhouse was built right where Fort Bailey used to be. He doesn't give credence to rumors, not unless there's extenuating circumstances surrounding it, maybe a witness testimony or three. If he had, he would have to accept that the Beast of Bailey Downs really did exist.
But still, something keeps drawing him back there, he feels. Again, that feeling he gets when he has those nightmares. It's been the same ever since Caroline took Geoffrey and left him, and left him in that house. It's the house, it must be.
Then again, he is there because of circumstances, and with a peace offering. So he gets off and walks up to the greenhouse, with every step enhancing the feeling of having been there when the greenhouse wasn't.
Wallace is about to ponder on that further when the door opens and Brigitte Fitzgerald, wearing an oversized shirt, likewise large pants and a comically large coat. She stops dead at her tracks when she sees him, so he puts on his best smile and tries not to open up on intimidation.
