Michael was still. Not the slightest sound came from his mouth.
His wife, on the other hand, seemed to keep her composure, even in such a situation. They weren't done with Cassandra yet. «Haylee do what you have to do.»
«Yes, grandma.»
Haylee walked over to Cassandra when she finally stopped squirming in pain, and whispered in her ear. «Samuel ordered you to get Byron away from Haylee. You questioned Kurt, along with Percy, but it didn't help you find Michael and the book anyway.»
Cassandra fainted. «I'll take care of her, Percy will help me out. You two… well I think you need to talk.»
Maryanne wanted to stop her, beg her not to leave her there alone with Michael, but someone had to take care of that dangerous Keeper and she had to face that man. She couldn't postpone anymore.
Meanwhile Michael was still standing, always shocked.
