There was something surreal about standing with Ellie on the beach, something that made him absolutely squirrely. He can see in his mind's eye the boy washed up on the beach... Or had he been washed up?

No, no that didn't seem right somehow. He hadn't been bloated like the girl who had been in the water for three days. Had he fallen from the cliffs above? He shifted, almost to see but was greeted with the gray hilly shoreline of where he actually was.

He shivered feeling bone cold and tried to remember what Ellie had said.

"Ah-- well, someone has to keep an eye on him." He gestured at Anthony. "He's too careless. A demon now, have you heard?"
