"You know, Kinnon, Ronan was not lying when he told you that Ralph called me before the war started. Now that I think about it, could it not be Ralph after all?"
It was not that difficult to imitate Ralph. Any child could act spoiled, call him Mommy, and pretend to cry. The culprit's goal was clear. He was appealing to Lucien's tender heart, using Ralph to tether Kinnon to life.
How could Lucien bear to kill Kinnon, all the while knowing that the innocent little boy would then lose not only his mother but also his father? Not to mention that the child was very close to Lucien during the latter's stay in the Night Prowler Pack House.
"I can assure you that it is not Ralph. Ralph does not even know how to use phones," Kinnon answered.
Well.
Of course.
