The Last Iron Horse Quotes

“Derek finally regained his wits from the surprise hug from Aidan—and then he grinned, “Rumours of my demise were greatly exaggerated.”
― Kristan Cannon, The Last Iron Horse

“Sheridan seems to be settling into her role as Queen the more that all this looks permanent,” pointed out Jeremy, and he sighed. “I’m not complaining. Considering the situation, we’re all in agreement where it concerns needing a decisive leader. Having her finally step up is more a relief than a complaint.”

“No one you can spare,” Derek pointed out. “Every single last one is on this Council. And my position is exactly what’s needed out there—I’m your Ranger. My job is being your eyes and ears. Not only that I’m a bit more diplomatic than another I could name… and far younger than the second person he’d even listen to.”

“Don’t get excited. It was a HAM signal, which means it was local to the area. Not sure where from but somewhere up high, maybe. This tells me likely north because according to the maps I seen of the area the north slopes up more than the south. Then again, who knows?”

“Was anything actually said?” asked Derek.

“No, but it clicked on and then off in a distinctive pattern. I wrote down the pattern and ran it through my knowledge of Morse Code,” he handed it over to Derek, and then Derek handed it to Karen.

“Oh my God,” breathed Karen.

“What is it?” asked Sheridan.

“My Dad’s address… his home address… and his cell number for work,” answered Karen.

“Of all the daft things,” mused Terrence. “Is it him or someone looking for him?”

Derek groaned and leaned back in his chair. “If it’s him, I’m glad that I headed back here. The trip to Garson would have been a gigantic waste… but if it’s someone looking for him then we definitely know where he is.”

“Do we risk it?” asked Marissa.

“Yes. In this area… other than here… where would Garrett be?” asked Derek.

“Wait, did you say Garrett?” asked Francis. “Last name wouldn’t also be Wither, would it?”

They looked over at Francis. “Yeah, why?” asked Derek.

“Right before everything went silent we granted a travel pass for one Garrett Wither so he could head up to High Falls,” replied Francis. “I was the last one to sign off on it.”

“To the side on the lower level was a room where all the sporting and hunting equipment was kept in lockers. Tyrell ruled this area and—by now—he had returned to it. He looked up when Aidan came running in with Sheridan’s bow and quiver. “I was wondering if I’d see you back here,” he said as he checked everything over. “Found all her arrows, but one, but it’s okay. She probably buried it in the hay.”

“Like a needle in a haystack?” mused Aidan.”
