Tuck didn't actually stay in there the entire time, that was ridiculous. He ate a jovial lunch with Malcolm and checked in on the residents of the barn - which of course included Evie - before returning so he was there about the time Will would wake up naturally.
He was resting beside Will on the floor, when Malcolm slammed the door of the room open. Tuck jumped, hoping the sound was enough to rouse Will, and then he stood, placing himself between the sheriff and Will. "What are you doing?" he asked warily.
"Time for round two," the sheriff said, and Tuck shook his head.
