บท 36: That's a lot of blood

It was only a few moments after Cass had settled down at the desk that there came a soft knock on his office door. Glancing up, having a feeling he knew who it was, Cass sighed. 

"You may enter." He called, and the door slowly opened. In peered a rather solemn looking Sam, along with a solemn looking Byron. 

"My Lord, the meal is ready. We've already informed Lady Fiona and she is on her way to the dining room." Sam told him and Cass nodded, adjusting the fabric at his throat before he got to his feet. He made sure his jacket was buttoned up before he glanced briefly over at the wet spot on the rug that only he could notice in the fabric. He forced his shoulders to relax before he moved towards the two men. 

"Shall we head down ourselves then?" He asked, a slight smile on his lips. Sam swallowed.
