CHAPTER 29: Back to work...

Celeste

After I let Mr. Woods know about Randol waking up, I realize I had totally forgotten about all the captives we still have in the holding cells. I am physically and mentally exhausted, but I have to talk to them. We need the information that only they can give us. I have everything Mr. Bianchi sent, but I bet there is something in those tiny little brains that even he missed. I head back to the basement to find Daddy.

I find him sitting in the lounge by the infirmary with Uncle Anthony. "Daddy, just the man I needed to see."

"Uh - oh. What now?"

"I need to talk to Donnelly's men now. Do you and Uncle Anthony want to join me?"

"Celeste, it has been an exhausting day. Don't you think you should get some rest first?"

"I can't, Daddy. I can't rest knowing they are still here. We need to interrogate them and get them out of here." Apparently, I've had some eavesdroppers while talking to Daddy, because I soon hear Cerin behind me.
