Chapter 8: Echoes of the Past
A US Marshal visited the carpentry shop in late January. The news was grim. Eleanor’s lawyers were delaying the trial, and there was chatter that she had put a bounty on Vance's head.

Vance realized his paranoia was poisoning the well. He was recreating the prison they had escaped.
