"Please tell me that they were at least dead?" Inez blurted out. She couldn't even fathom how Tracy could forget something so important like that. Tracy was weird. Her emotional dynamics were strange but she was caring. This much was something that she understood.
Tracy turned her stormy eyes at her and Inez gulped. "Well, I have some news to tell you, sweetheart. They were not my priority. You were and I was not going to pay any attention to them when I didn't know where you were and in what condition."
Inez felt her heart flip upside down a little.
Killian's eyes narrowed. All the warmth and concern in his eyes was replaced by a hint of ferocity as he turned to look at her completely. "Answer her. Were they dead?"
"No. They were alive or as alive as they could be in that situation."
