Chapter 66 – Happy to Be Alive

Pamela awakes in the hospital and finds a very disgruntled and shaken Casey. She avoids telling him what happened by trying to console him with the fact that she’s alive and intact. Pamela draws him down onto the bed and tells him “I’ll protect you.” They fall asleep together on the hospital bed.

Constable Fred comes to visit Pamela and get her statement regarding the shooting. Pamela fears losing her job and much worse if word gets out she went to meet Bright. She tries hard to convince the Constable it was an accident. The Constable is paled upon seeing Casey. Pamela believes this is a sign that he knew Brian and is her secret contact. The Constable prepares to leave and tells her no one will be by to bother her about the accident. Pamela is relieved as he leaves. Then Casey holds up the scarf she’d been blindfolded with and states “now we’re goin’ to talk about this ..An’ about whose blood was all over year hands.”

Pamela & Casey are constantly trying to protect each other but rarely communicate the dynamics surrounding those decisions. Are they more alike than they realize?
Can loving someone so much that you go to extremes to keep them safe be healthy for the relationship?
Do you think Pamela really understands what a dangerous position she has placed herself?
Is Constable Fred Pamela’s secret contact? Why do you think he paled at seeing Casey?
How much of the “true” story do you think Pamela will actually tell Casey?

Chapter 67 – The Brotherhood of the Ring

Casey is avoiding Pamela by throwing himself into household chores. Pamela recalls the attraction b/w them. “It took her this way at times, the enormity of what was between them, both physically & emotionally.” Finally Pamela reveals to Casey the details of her search into Brian’s death. Casey says that Brian “was never one for walkin’ away from someone in need. No matter what the consequences of helpin’ that person might be.” He recalls a stranger that his father helped out that not only gave him and odd feeling but he thought may have had something to do with his father’s demise. Pamela shows Casey the ring the hung man gave her and that she saw Bright wearing a similar one on a chain. Casey gets his father’s ring; the insignia is similar to the other two – an etched harp with the letters BOR.

Casey tells Pamela about the Brotherhood and seems convinced that anyone who had been part of the group would not admit to it now. Knowing Bright’s fearful reputation he’s surprised at the man’s involvement in the BOR and of his acquaintance with Brian. Casey takes a moment to wonder if he really knew his father and what he should do with his newly acquired information. Casey is firm that he doesn’t want her snooping about anymore however Pamela has just one last bit of information to investigate– an address that Bright secretly gave her.

Have you ever been consumed by the “enormity” of what exists b/w you and another person?
Based on Casey’s statement about Brian, do you think he realizes how much he’s like his father? If not, why?
Is it fair to go on your gut instincts and/or first impressions in regards to a person until you truly know them?
With so many of the original Brotherhood dead how is it that Bright is still around? Do you think his reputation is real or merely façade to cover another agenda?
How do you think Casey feels regarding this new revelation about Brian and the Brotherhood? Will he follow up on the information Pamela has already acquired regarding his father?
