Chapter 5
Jimmy couldn't shake the uneasy feeling he had as he and Shane tried to get the boat working. He was worried about Abby. He had just gotten her back into his life and he wanted to keep it that way. He should have insisted that she come with him, instead of leaving her behind and assuming she'd be along in a little while. That was part of the problem: she was too damn independent. What the hell did that make him? A wuss? Would Henry have left Trish behind, if even for a second, under such dangerous circumstances?

Abby, Henry, and Trish now stood in the attic of Abby's father's house. They were all disgusted by what looked to be a sick shrine to Wakefield.
"He's not here," Henry said to Abby. "Let's go."
Abby didn't move but continued glancing around, looking for a clue. Something.
What the hell is wrong with her? Trish wondered as she watched Abby, who was acting as if she never wanted to leave this horrible place. Hadn't they just seen on the table a map of the tunnels underneath the Candlewick? What more proof did she, did any of them need, that her father was a serial murderer?
None of this made sense to Abby. Nothing in her miserable existence made sense. Except Jimmy. Jimmy who was waiting for her at the marina.
Abby glanced around one last time before quickly following Henry and Trish out of the attic.
