    54

    55

    94

    Yully followed him out into the cold, rainy afternoon.

    95

    Jenn followed him this time.

    96

    They stayed till closing, and I followed him out.

    97

    He was driving … Jule skipped through the details of Yully's car.… Another figure followed them.

    98

    He followed the Other and the girl.

    99

    The hallways were quiet and vacant, and she followed Jonny into the dark night.

    100

    For a moment, she wondered if Darian had followed her here, too, like he did everywhere else.

    101

    Yully stepped from the warm car into the cold night and followed her father into the inn.

    102

    She stepped away from the monument amplifying her magic and followed her father.

    103

    He tugged her hand, and she followed him out of the library and through the sprawling house and a large kitchen to the back door.

    104

    He'd followed her around all morning, and she was sick of him.

    105

    He'd followed her and Jake all around the house earlier like a bored puppy.

    106

    She followed his directions, slammed her door closed, and locked it.

    107

    Damian followed him across the dusty landing pads to the helo-hangar.

    108

    In the long silence that followed, she heard Darian's sobs.

    109

    He followed the man with eyes as green as the moss in the corner of his room down the busy hallways, unaffected by the men who spit on him or shoved him as he went.

    110

    While she couldn't shake the sense of doom that followed her from the visions, she felt more normal, less afraid, at the thought that she'd be rejoining the rest of humanity for a shopping trip with the girls, even if only for a morning.

    111

    If not for the worried flicker of her gaze past him to see who followed, Damian would have thought this a social call.

    112

    An eerie quiet followed, and she wasn't sure if he'd shed his human body and take out her and everything else.

    113

    He traced his fingers over the scars on his hands and followed them up his arms, then his chest, then his legs.

    114

    Sofia followed the sound of her voice to the living room.

    115

    Sofia followed and dropped into the grass beside Traci.

    116

    She followed the vamp's fleeting directions.

    117

    He followed a familiar path through a narrowing hall and looked at his palm for the three codes written in green ink there.

    118

    Sofia followed him as the halls angled up and narrowed until Two had to walk through them sideways.

    119

    He drove them through back roads and alleys to ensure no one followed before taking the highway and exiting into a direction that appeared to be nothing but desert.

    120

    She followed Dustin and Darian down the hall.

    121

    If, for some reason, she was stuck here forever, at least he wasn't going to hurt her, as long as she followed his rules.

    122

    Her eyes followed it.

    123

    He followed the laws.

    124

    Carmen followed her guests to the rent house and gave them a tour.

    125

    He urged Ed ahead with a gentle nudge of the knees, and followed the peccary.

    126

    His gaze followed hers and he lifted a brow in inquiry.

    127

    Gerald mounted in his usual awkward style and followed her.

    128

    He followed her up a steep trail between two boulders and then to the top.

    129

    They followed the trail back to the horses, mounted and started down the trail.

    130

    Why else would he want to select the trail she followed - even the clothes she wore?

    131

    Rob followed Carmen's gaze and shrugged.

    132

    His tone was a firm statement that instructions would be followed henceforth.

    133

    Rob followed her gaze as he finished pulling the last leg out on the table.

    134

    Finally she revived from the shock of his words and followed him to the bedroom.

    135

    Felipa followed her and when Alex left the house, she turned to Carmen with a grin.

    136

    A tear escaped her eye and his troubled gaze followed it down her cheek.

    137

    Carmen's stomach twisted into a knot as she followed him upstairs to his office.

    138

    Dorothy kept hold of his hand and followed him, and soon they were both walking through the air, with the kitten frisking beside them.

    139

    The few signs I used became less and less adequate, and my failures to make myself understood were invariably followed by outbursts of passion.

    140

    Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate outburst.

    141

    I recall many incidents of the summer of 1887 that followed my soul's sudden awakening.

    142

    These were the two Emperors followed by their suites.

    143

    Suddenly the strange sound of a far-off whistling and thud was heard, followed by a boom of cannon blending into a dull roar that set the windows rattling.

    144

    Jake followed, and Han was already waiting for her.

    145

    He frowned but followed her into the cool, pre-dawn morning toward the garage.

    146

    She followed, heart racing.

    147

    Damian followed his gaze.

    148

    His gaze followed her until she disappeared into the house, and he shook his head.

    149

    He followed the group to the courtyard to spar.

    150

    He followed, and Deidre reached for him.

    151

    Dean followed his wife but she dismissed his concern.

    152

    The rest of the clan followed without a word.

    153

    A kiss and an eyes-closed hug was all they were allowed, followed by a smiling promise from the state-appointed villain, "We'll be in touch."

    154

    Silence followed until Randy said, "Hello?"

    155

    Both remembered the last time they'd watched a guest meet with a stranger and the no-end-to trouble that followed.

    156

    While there was a comment that father Joe Calvia hadn't taken the news well, no details were given, and no calls from a hospital emergency room followed.

    157

    Dean and his wife joined the group, followed by Brandon Westlake, Pumpkin Green, and a newly arrived Midwesterner named Hank.

    158

    God love him—he had followed the Boston Red Sox for sixty years and couldn't even dream of ever being there himself.

    159

    With renewed caution, the pair followed the chalk arrow, not the stones, expecting any minute to find someone barring their return.

    160

    He followed her gaze.

    161

    Dean followed Joseph into the parlor.

    162

    Dean followed close behind, with Fred O'Connor trailing.

    163

    He followed her slowly, but a couple of horn toots coaxed him to move along.

    164

    Fury, followed by peace.

    165

    Cynthia and Jennifer followed.

    166

    The old man excused himself and followed Dean to the kitchen.

    167

    Two hours remained before the last of the day's celebrations— the Jeep flare parade down the mountain, followed by a massive fireworks display—so after finishing supper, the Deans began playing catch up with Bird Song's chores.

    168

    He followed the gouged earth where the vehicle had ripped its path downward.

    169

    The rough track he followed ceased to exist, as if the vehicle had become airborne in its terrible fall.

    170

    There followed a muffled boom.

    171

    He had turned to check Lydia's light above him when another display followed.

    172

    There was polite applause, a little less then followed Fitzgerald's words, or so thought Dean.

    173

    There followed a buzz in the crowd.

    174

    There was more movement in the back of the room as Fred O'Connor entered, followed by a contingent of his followers.

    175

    A lot of sounds-like, seems-like conversation followed until consensus settled on Mulligan.

    176

    The sound of thrown objects, yells, and stomps were followed by Ginger Dawkins's terse announcement that she was moving to the Beaumont, alone, thank you.

    177

    While Cynthia didn't explain her decision to fit God and church into their busy Sunday morning schedule, once again she dressed for church and Dean dutifully followed suit.

    178

    There followed a call from Groucho, whose name Dean learned was Coleridge, telling of a report that the Boyd pair was sighted in Kansas, stopped for a tail light violation on Sunday afternoon.

    179

    A dial tone followed.

    180

    She peered behind them, as if searching to see if he'd been followed.

    181

    She turned to hurry back to her car as Dean followed.

    182

    Ginger administered whack number two, followed with a 'be nice' comment.

    183

    Dean and his wife followed as he introduced the women.

    184

    About ten minutes later, he spotted it again and followed.

    185

    When Dean persisted, he heard movement, followed by a cough.

    186

    He followed her direction and tossed the garment to her.

    187

    Cynthia, who'd followed the men to the door, was the first to smother the young girl in hugs and kisses, and an ample dose of tears with the others joining in with equal enthusiasm.

    188

    A series of phone calls followed.

    189

    Eyes widened when she learned someone had pilfered the small finger bone from Cynthia's bureau and she shivered when told the Deans had been followed into the mine.

    190

    Ralph drove and I followed in the Ford.

    191

    In the days that followed, the shooting was ruled justified and Lydia Larkin was cleared of any wrongdoing.

    192

    He sighed and followed.

    193

    Cora followed her gaze, brow furrowed.

    194

    Deidre followed, surprised then angry when people jostled her instead of moving from her path.

    195

    She shook off the strange feeling and followed once more.

    196

    She followed her nose until she found the one she wanted.

    197

    I'm lucky Zamon and Darkyn both followed through.

    198

    Gabriel followed Rhyn into the portal.

    199

    His gaze followed it to the water, where it disappeared into the lake.

    200

    Her eyes traveled with intent interest over his face and followed the trail of her fingers down his neck.

    201

    Deidre looked at the demon lord, and Gabriel followed her gaze.

    202

    His eyes followed Darkyn.

    203

    His soft chuckled followed her as she left the room.

    204

    Dawn and Random followed their mother as they trotted out to the pasture.

    205

    What if he had followed me home?

    206

    So that's why you followed me home so quickly.

    207

    When Alex came home for lunch, Carmen picked up Destiny and followed him to the barn.

    208

    She followed the gurney out and watched as they lifted it into the helicopter.

    209

    Brutus followed her, whining in response to her misery.

    210

    Behind them the red-headed man followed for only a few seconds before turning back toward the house.

    211

    His sultry gaze followed her to the chair.

    212

    His attention shifted to the bear and she followed his gaze.

    213

    He glanced up from the book he was reading and followed her gaze to the picture in her hand.

    214

    She followed his gaze as he put her down to determine what had startled him.

    215

    He followed all the rules in the Code, but he couldn't help thinking he was doing something …wrong.

    216

    Gabriel followed her into it.

    217

    She heard the phone ring and followed the sound.

    218

    He'd ignored the demons swarming her apartment building and followed her over the side of the building.

    219

    Surprised by the response, Gabriel followed Darkyn's eyes around the apartment.

    220

    He followed the instinct that led him to Deidre and trotted up the stairs leading to the top of the fortress.

    221

    She followed Wynn into his home.

    222

    Comforted by her only remaining normal friend, Deidre followed him to the wing of guest bedrooms, surprised at how huge her room was.

    223

    Deidre followed with a second load.

    224

    Deidre followed her gaze, not understanding.

    225

    His gaze dropped to her lips, and his thumb followed, grazing the sensitive skin.

    226

    Vaguely, she was aware of the cool shadow world followed by the warmth of indoors.

    227

    It was followed by warm energy that Gabriel pushed into her body to calm her.

    228

    Deidre followed, barely able to make out the shape of a doorway that pulsed darker than night.

    229

    Swallowing hard, Deidre followed.

    230

    She trailed, glancing over her shoulder when the two demons outside the recovery room followed.

    231

    Death curtseyed back, gave Gabriel a final look of warning, and followed the woman in grey to afternoon tea.

    232

    The little boy followed her.

    233

    She took one more look at the ominous man in black and the sword at his hip and followed, shaking from more than cold.

    234

    She took it all in, feeling as if she'd stepped into the Twilight Zone, and followed Toby down the hall.

    235

    She followed his instructions and traded the file for two prescriptions to drugs she'd never heard of.

    236

    She followed, intent on having her tea by the window as she did every morning.

    237

    She followed them and set her cocoa down on the counter, grabbing the whiskey and retreating with the intent of drinking herself to sleep.

    238

    Gabriel followed them out obediently, content to hang around them while bored.

    239

    Katie sat, irritated to see who followed with a confident stride and two glasses of

    240

    When she accepted the glass, he followed with a quick and confident, "Let's take a walk around."

    241

    She heard Kris stir, and the cocoa-skinned Jade followed.

    242

    Andre entered, followed by a second man carrying a large tray of food.

    243

    Dawn came slowly, followed by the brilliant blue sky of morning.

    244

    She followed, startled, only to see a massive black bird the size of a pterodactyl coasting along the tops of the waves.

    245

    She followed the man at a distance, slowly confirming she was somewhere on her planet.

    246

    She followed him, praying he knew the town better than her, until they ran into a dead end.

    247

    She followed him up a set of regal stairs to the second floor, where multiple rooms lined a hallway.

    248

    Rhyn followed, painfully aware of the limp mortal body in his arms.

    249

    She crossed her arms and followed him in.

    250

    She followed what she thought was the path Ully had brought her on and found her way to the women's barracks.

    251

    She forced herself not to cover her tattoo with her hands as she followed her sister to the second floor, where the private rooms were.

    252

    Rhyn said nothing and followed her out of the study.

    253

    She followed him back to the trail.

    254

    He wondered what poor fool was stuck babysitting the high-maintenance angel as he followed Kris.

    255

    She followed, uninterested in the sterile glass and stainless steel landscape.

    256

    Kris entered, followed by someone whose appearance made her gasp.

    257

    Their gazes followed the drops of blood as they fell from her arm to the marble flooring.

    258

    The maid lunged at her again, and she darted for the kitchen, followed by Jared.s blood monkey, who was wailing with frustration.

    259

    He left the sparring level without saying a word to Ully and followed his instincts up a flight of stairs and down a narrow hall he recognized from his visit to their father.s catacombs with Kris.

    260

    Erik disappeared, followed by Tamer.

    261

    Katie followed her into another hallway on the floor where the castle.s serving staff lived.

    262

    Kiki tucked his iPad under his arm and opened a portal through which all three went before Rhyn followed.

    263

    Tamer emerged from Kris's chamber into the hallway first, armed with a scythe and a bo, while Erik followed with a long sword.

    264

    Kiki followed him through to the basements, and Rhyn stopped in front of the door to his father.s crypt.

    265

    It would be his last night with the Immortals, for no one would forgive him once he followed through with the plans forming in his mind.

    266

    Darkyn followed Jade as the madman hauled his two prisoners toward the portal to the shadow world.

    267

    He allowed Daniela to enter first and then followed.

    268

    Confused, Rhyn joined them and followed their gazes.

    269

    Evelyn's wedding was for a hundred invitees in a small chapel by the ocean followed by a reception for over twice that many guests.

    270

    The second snorted and strode into the cockpit, followed by the first.

    271

    Evelyn followed leisurely, unconcerned with being lost on the massive ship.

    272

    Kiera followed as Evelyn turned toward the main house, a sprawling, single-story compound made of brilliant white stone and dotted with hundreds of glass-less windows.

    273

    She took it absent-mindedly and followed her friend through the mansion.

    274

    She continued faster, and followed the corridor as it curved to the left.

    275

    She rested against the door, jarred when the flash of a grey knife crossed inches before her eyes, followed by a muted thunk as the weapon buried itself in the door.

    276

    His sisters followed, D'Ryn relaying the information to her sisters.

    277

    When set, the eldest demonstrated a simple strike and block, then corrected her form as she followed his example.

    278

    He and the others followed his lead.

    279

    Nishani followed and gripped his forearm with both of her small, soft hands.

    280

    He turned and approached the door again, interested when she followed.

    281

    Nishani followed him from the bustling, warm banquet room to the cool courtyard in front of the house beneath a full sky of suns.

    282

    The sound of a door closing and muffled voices outside the door were followed by silence.

    283

    She looked around for somewhere to sit or hide, aware the two men who'd followed her up the mountain were still there.

    284

    Leyon followed, and Mansr took her into a small dwelling on the mountain.

    285

    Each man followed in his father's shadow.

    286

    The outline turned to a bright square of light, and she followed him again.

    287

    She entered a narrow, well-lit hall and followed it through smoothly hewn walls.

    288

    Silence followed, and she wondered if her paranoia had caused her to imagine it.

    289

    She followed Evelyn into the craft, seeing only one Qatwali warrior to pilot the craft.

    290

    She followed the group down several corridors into a massive conference room filled with people in tight groups talking.

    291

    His words were followed by a long silence.

    292

    Fred followed Cynthia, asking more questions about the new guest as Dean shook his head in mild frustration.

    293

    But he gulped down his milk and followed her back to their quarters.

    294

    So you could show off those incredible legs of yours and I could watch your cute little boom-boom as I followed you, gliding around the rink.

    295

    Donnie Ryland followed close behind him.

    296

    The Deans followed Fred O'Connor's example.

    297

    Her comments brought to mind the death of Bird Song's very first guest and the strange events that followed.

    298

    Cynthia followed her husband into the room, holding the Annie Quincy dress in front of her, with a bundle of under garments beneath her arm.

    299

    Everyone followed suit, as if welcoming royalty into the warm and ancient parlor.

    300

    He hesitated, but then followed her orders and scrambled up the stairs.

    301

    There followed a long pause, followed by an abrupt thank-you and a dial tone.

    302

    There followed a cheery "good morning" from the late-sleeping Gladys Turnbull.

    303

    The Deans had utilized the site a half dozen times, including, in December, the council-sponsored full moon nighttime outing, followed by a dip in the town's hot spring pool.

    304

    A slight burst of tears followed from Martha until Dean rendered a speech on survival of the fittest, the laws of the jungle, the food chain and supply and demand.

    305

    The pair drove down Seventh Street, crossed over the Uncompahgre River and followed the dirt road to the small cluster of mobile homes.

    306

    A vehicle, a mud-splatted Blazer, with skis in a rack atop it, followed her and slowed as it passed the building.

    307

    Claire Quincy had donned reading glasses and was scrutinizing the letters as Fred O'Connor followed his notes and explained the information on Annie Quincy he had gathered at the library.

    308

    Cynthia came out of the parlor, followed by Fred, who was still seething over Claire Quincy's appropriation of the gold coins.

    309

    He must have either seen us leave Ouray with skis or followed us over there.

    310

    Effie and Claire returned, followed in by Martha and Donnie, who had been playing outside.

    311

    The rest of the climbers followed in the truck but Ryland declined to join them, turning a perturbed eye to Bird Song.

    312

    As he was finishing his conversation, a loud sound came from the kitchen, followed by a sharp cry in a man's voice, and then laughter.

    313

    Dean wandered up the penstock trail, the path he and Cynthia followed earlier, where Donald Ryland had climbed.

    314

    Once beyond access to the river below, the seldom-used path presented an unbroken cover of fresh white, now blanketed in more than a foot of fresh powder, as it followed the large pipe toward the reservoir.

    315

    Fred followed but there was little time for conversation.

    316

    He picked up her bags and followed the pair to the small room.

    317

    Dean followed them back inside.

    318

    There followed silence, then a dial tone.

    319

    The others followed quickly.

    320

    Dean had a memory of Fred draping a flannel shirt over Franny's bare shoulders, though no recollection of the order of arrival or any real details of what followed.

    321

    Donald Ryland and Franny Mulligan were checking out this evening, as soon as he returned with Donnie, followed by the Quincy sisters scheduled departure in the morning.

    322

    Dean followed her, happy beyond belief to have her once more share his bed.

    323

    It was time for the Deans to talk, to enjoy one another, the first real time together since their May wedding and hectic summer and fall that followed their move West and the opening of Bird Song.

    324

    For instance, I don't think it was a mistake that her husband followed her to Ouray as easily as it seemed.

    325

    The others followed and the trio went back inside where Dean began building a fire.

    326

    She followed him like a lost sheep.

    327

    Connor's eyes followed him.

    328

    He held the door open for Claudia and followed her into the room.

    329

    He flipped her off and followed Elisabeth.

    330

    Jackson followed her into the drawing room.

    331

    Jackson wasn't sure what to make of this, but followed her.

    332

    Ahead of her, Katie stepped off the wooden porch into the ankle high snow and followed the trail Carmen had broken earlier on her trip to light the stove in the dairy.

    333

    Katie followed her into the dairy and closed the door against the wind.

    334

    Katie followed Carmen, her voice a mixture of surprise and humor.

    335

    The friendly herd followed them, crowding the expectant mother.

    336

    There was no point in responding, so Carmen merely shrugged and followed Alex to one of the kidding stalls.

    337

    As she followed, Alex glanced back at her.

    338

    Katie gulped her coffee and followed him out the door, pausing to mouth "mother hen" to Carmen.

    339

    She followed him to one of the stalls, trying to remember the circumstances of his rejected love.

    340

    Tessa followed, voicing her objection in annoyed bleats.

    341

    He glanced up sharply at someone in the doorway and Carmen followed his gaze.

    342

    His voice followed her and when she stopped, he continued.

    343

    He silently followed her up the trail and then fell in beside her as they crossed the field.

    344

    She handed him the book and he followed her into the barn, flipping through the pages.

    345

    Some of the more friendly goats had followed her up the hill and they were ranging out ahead.

    346

    A ladder lowered, and Brady vaulted onto it, followed by Dan.

    347

    She followed the two through the acrid smoke into the command hub.

    348

    Brady started forward, and the others followed, falling into two teams.

    349

    Brady stepped aside first, and the others followed his lead.

    350

    Brady followed with reluctance, intrigued to meet the woman whose voice had kept him company for several long weeks.

    351

    Elise followed his lead.

    352

    Elise rushed them, and Brady followed.

    353

    Elise grabbed at Arnie, who twisted free and followed Lana.

    354

    Lana made her way through them to the general and followed his gaze.

    355

    In the paramilitary organization that relied on secrecy and loyalty to survive, the soldiers followed the man they trusted most.

    356

    He rose, angry and unconvinced she wouldn't bring whatever danger followed him to his backyard.

    357

    You think something followed her?

    358

    The scent of burnt metal and flesh soon followed, then chaos as Elise and Dan moved away from her, each going in the opposite direction under the cover of smoke.

    359

    One shot rang out, followed by two more.

    360

    The man at her back dropped, followed immediately by the other two.

    361

    She followed her friend to a portion of the underground site converted into a massive gym and training facility.

    362

    Silence followed her words.

    363

    Lana followed, unable to take her eyes off the soldiers.

    364

    She changed and placed her micro and vault into her pockets then followed Kelli out of the warehouse, through the front office space and into the street.

    365

    Dan winked at him and followed.

    366

    The youth turned a corner, and Brady followed then stopped.

    367

    Dan dropped beside him, followed by Elise and the other members of their team.

    368

    He followed Tony through the underground world and up to the town above.

    369

    Lana followed and crossed her arms.

    370

    Dan dropped beside him, followed by Elise.

    371

    Lana followed them into the medical facility after a quick look around, not recognizing the flat landscape and distant red rocks surrounding the canyon in which they'd landed.

    372

    Katie followed her instincts through the dreamscape until she climbed the last rocks and saw Rhyn curled in a ball just on the other side of a small ridge on the Sanctuary.

    373

    Lost in the food fantasy, she didn't see Gabriel disappear into the jungle.  Katie blinked and looked around, still uneasy with the snakelike branches that moved of their own volition overhead.  She didn't know what kind of creatures followed or what other critters would live in the Immortal jungle, but she wanted nothing to do with such a weird place.

    374

    The snakelike branches overhead were creepier when she could see them in daylight, and the few birds and insects she saw made her shudder.  The sense of being followed didn't leave even in the full light of day.

    375

    He stalked off into the forest, away from the castle and cliff.  Toby clambered through the brush and trees after him, the angel's footsteps loud where Rhyn's were silent.  Rhyn found a deer path and followed it until he reached a snowy meadow.  Crossing it, he continued to look for a place to stash the angel where the kid wouldn't freeze to death.  After another hour of walking, he found a small pocket in the roots of a massive tree.

    376

    Katie frowned.  In the course of a day, Gabe had gone from emotional to unaffected when discussing Death.  He was distracted, and she felt like she was talking to someone completely different.  Blaming herself for taking his mind off of their survival, she fell silent and followed him.   Briars and branches caught her pant legs, and she found herself slowing to push more and more of the jungle's flora out of the way.  Gabe, too, began to struggle with the bramble, and she noticed the jungle no longer laid their path before him.  Instead of clearing away to allow them passage, it stayed where it was, obstructing them.

    377

    She followed quietly for the rest of the day.

    378

    They ran until daylight then slowed.  Gabe followed a trail Rhyn couldn't see that led them to a stream.  The assassin stopped and knelt to splash water on his face.

    379

    Gabriel was gone.  No one followed him, let alone spoke to him.  Rhyn looked around uneasily, wondering who – or what – he'd been speaking to.  He started back to the spot where they'd stopped for water.  A few minutes later, Gabriel reappeared.

    380

    Ully obeyed.  They crept through the hallways, avoiding any that seemed crowded.  Toby followed the directions he saw in his memories and led them to a small chamber near the center of the fortress.  They entered and closed the door, seeing the open portal hovering in the middle.  He took Ully's hand, and they stepped into it.

    381

    Katie hesitated before shuffling forward on her knees.  She carefully touched the woman's leg then patted it as she followed it down to the thick roots wrapped around her ankles.  Unable to see exactly how she was stuck, Katie used her cold fingers to fumble around the root and the woman's sneakers.  "It's really jammed in there," she said at last.

    382

    Katie followed, trailed closely by Deidre.  The sounds of their escape were nothing compared to the sounds of what followed.  Katie cast a look over her shoulder and saw several demons had dropped into the jungle and transformed into panther-like forms.  She stopped and reached into the pouch slung across her chest.

    383

    Kris said nothing.  Rhyn's assurances that Hannah was safe in Hell didn't sit well with him.  Kris followed the half-demon without knowing where they might be headed, instead thinking of just how bad of a situation he'd left Kiki in.

    384

    He took off running toward the palace, his demon vision guiding him in the darkness.  Kris followed closely, and they burst onto the yards surrounding the palace.

    385

    Judge Adamson arrived and there followed more conversation at the bench and in the judge's chambers than in the courtroom.

    386

    I had to make sure you weren't followed!

    387

    The final leg of the journey was a long dirt road that climbed first through a grove of fir followed by an unbroken forest of hard­wood just beginning to bud.

    388

    I'll give you a call tomorrow," he said as he turned and followed the others, adding, "Keep an eye out over your shoulder."

    389

    If you followed the car making the drop, someone would have shot you.

    390

    He followed me everywhere.

    391

    Silence followed for a moment before she added, No, that's a lie.

    392

    While it was in part at least an indictment that Dean had allowed himself to be followed, it was still the best news he'd heard in weeks.

    393

    No blue car followed.

    394

    Dr. Blanchard went up to Fred's room while the police followed Dean around the downstairs, filling out their report.

    395

    I don't think I was followed until Thursday and I lost them then before I got to the house.

    396

    Sunday was a sleep-in-late kind of day, followed by a Phillies game on TV and a few naps in between mental re-hashes of the prior late-night con­versation with Cynthia Byrne.

    397

    As Dean turned the corner to 422 Collingswood Avenue, another car followed and pulled into the drive behind him.

    398

    Besides, whoev­er was there followed me when I finally gave up and left.

    399

    The car had quickly made a U-turn and followed Fred, not taking care to disguise its actions.

    400

    Then there was the apart­ment rental with Burgess's identification of Byrne, however tenu­ous, followed by the newspaper subscription and the motor home purchase.

    401

    But why was Fred followed from the motor home seller's house?

    402

    His mind followed suit, racing along, constructing a plan to prove his theory and more important­ly, to address it.

    403

    The silence that followed stretched far longer than Dean would have liked.

    404

    Dean followed on the run, passing him and reaching the door that was already closed.

    405

    You weren't there when them thugs followed me in Scranton and I made out pretty good, I'd say.

    406

    He slid in behind another biker and followed the crouched figure evenly, absentmindedly match­ing the rider stride for stride for several miles as he pondered his course of action.

    407

    The odds say he skipped now that the word's out we've followed him here.

    408

    The highway to Pagosa Springs followed the San Juan River up the pass to the top of the Rocky Mountains while side streams, arush with melting snow, ice cold to the touch, cascaded down from the roof of the sky, thousands of feet above.

    409

    I followed Jeffrey Byrne and you followed David Dean.

    410

    They must have followed you to Maid Marian Lane and thought Vinnie might be stashed there.

    411

    Dean didn't comment and a short silence followed.

    412

    We weren't sure he wasn't followed or something—we whispered like a couple of kids and couldn't wait to sneak out of there.

    413

    So you followed Byrne to Norfolk and met with him.

    414

    The others followed him and Alex called after them.

    415

    Lori stood and followed her.

    416

    He followed her to the door and onto the porch, snapping on the light.

    417

    She kept walking and he followed.

    418

    She stood and followed him to the door.

    419

    He followed her up on the porch and opened the door for her.

    420

    He followed her out the door.

    421

    He followed her down the porch steps and across the yard.

    422

    His terse voice followed her.

    423

    She grabbed her purse and followed him to the truck, leaping in quickly so he could close the door and get around to his side.

    424

    She followed behind him like a puppy, stopping when he flipped a light switch.

    425

    That delicious chocolate gaze followed her all the way to his side.

    426

    Alex drove his white Dodge truck home and she followed him in her new white Buick Le Sabre feeling equal amounts of joy and guilt.

    427

    His finger left her jaw and softly followed the curve of her neck.

    428

    As she surged forward to get away from Josh, a ripping sound followed her.

    429

    Carmen followed him out to the truck, eagerly allowing him to draw her into an embrace.

    430

    She followed the plan, had the picture in-hand and was locking the door to the house when Brutus wandered up with a bloody muzzle.

    431

    Brutus followed her to the pile of hide and bones.

    432

    Alex followed her with brisk steps.

    433

    Princess followed Ed up the steep trail with an eager stride that kept Carmen clinging to the saddle horn.

    434

    Katie's laugh followed her.

    435

    She shut the car door and followed him inside.

    436

    His lips followed, softly pressing against the curve of her neck.

    437

    He followed her and studied the deer.

    438

    Alex was followed by Bill and then Josh.

    439

    Alex followed her to the sink.

    440

    As he ate, his contemplative gaze followed her flurry of activity silently.

    441

    Carmen followed Katie and Bill home and helped Katie get settled in with the babies.

    442

    Katie got to bring the babies home today, so I followed her home and helped her with them for a while.

    443

    He followed her up a jumble of rocks to the top of the ridge.

    444

    She led him along a dim trail that followed the edge of a granite cliff.

    445

    Princess followed as she led Ed to the corral, but Random and Casper decided to stay near the house.

    446

    Brutus followed, and the two calves tagged along awkwardly behind him.

    447

    Princess followed them as she walked Ed.

    448

    The foal followed, poking her nose at the rabbit.

    449

    Lightning flashed brilliantly and a clap of thunder followed.

    450

    Carmen settled into the saddle and followed him out of the corral.

    451

    Casper, Random and the foal followed them as they loped across the field to the buffalo shed.

    452

    She followed, again struck by the graceful way he rode.

    453

    Jonny followed her gaze.

    454

    Darian had followed her around like a lost puppy before she was assigned to the Black God.

    455

    The vamps followed her only to the door.

    456

    Darian followed his gaze, not smelling or seeing blood.

    457

    Her gaze followed the lightning emanating from the second Other's body.

    458

    Jenn finished arming herself and followed.

    459

    Her heart beat faster as she followed a familiar path through the obelisks.

    460

    Her gaze followed her finger as she rested it on her name below theirs.

    461

    I could've guessed Darian would fall for you the way he followed you around.

    462

    His gaze followed her as she sat on the couch again.

    463

    Darian followed close enough to make sure he went for clothing and not weapons.

    464

    She needed to know what happened to Darian, if Xander followed through and delivered the Grey God home.

    465

    A bellow sounded in the forest behind them, and moonlight gleamed off of the tips of falling arrows and the raised swords of the men that followed them.

    466

    She followed his look and drew the injured arm behind her back.

    467

    The disturbing sensation of being in a room with an otherworldly creature faded as he followed her into the hallway.

    468

    She waited for him to catch up then ducked through a door leading from the inner city beyond the walls, and he followed.

    469

    Another rustling followed, this one much closer and to the left of their trail.

    470

    He ducked over the horse's neck again as the arrows followed them and slapped the horse's rump with his sword.

    471

    She followed as far as she dared, until she drew the wary looks of the remaining guards.

    472

    She knew he followed.

    473

    Sirian followed her movement with his gaze and smiled, an unnatural glow in his eyes.

    474

    Taran followed at a distance.

    475

    A lengthy silence followed, and she bitterly considered how well he had betrayed her.

    476

    On a night like this, she could think of little else she wanted but a cup of Sirian's cider and a hot bath followed by a good night of sleep.

    477

    In the silence that followed, her eyes went again to the dead women.

    478

    Light exploded into her mind as she hit the bottom, followed by darkness.

    479

    Taran followed his gaze.

    480

    Leery of the madman's summons, he followed the page to the round chamber.

    481

    Taran followed his quick pace toward the door, watching as the advisors rose from their seats at the tables to join their master.

    482

    Taran tore out of the great hall, followed closely by the madman, whose agitated demon swam visibly beneath his skin.

    483

    He followed Hilden silently through the hold to the dungeon, drawing his sword as they neared the door.

    484

    As he drew her into the circle of his arms, she followed his steps, wrapping her arms around his neck.

    485

    He lead and she followed.

    486

    The trail they followed led around the base of a bluff.

    487

    Two lambs followed their mother as the ewe leaped from one ledge to another.

    488

    They found the ruins about a mile further where the creek followed a gorge between two high cliffs.

    489

    She mounted Princess and followed him.

    490

    His eye followed her, but he never lifted his head.

    491

    They stood and he followed her into the house.

    492

    If Dad was going to have her followed, it was unlikely that he would have sent someone she knew.

    493

    She followed him to the rocky beach and removed her shoes and beach robe.

    494

    His voice followed her.

    495

    She scrambled behind Keaton, still splashing water at the dark form that followed her wake.

    496

    He checked the windows while she followed his instructions.

    497

    A hollow tearing sound was followed by a horrendous crash outside the kitchen window.

    498

    She followed him out on the porch, gasping as a gust of cold wind met them.

    499

    He locked the door and followed.

    500

    A knock on the front door was followed by Justin's voice.
