Chapter 20

A good portion of the day had gone to taking care of the infants and helping Craig clean up the hallway before Benjamin came back. I was never happier for Craig’s assistance as I was when he went into a janitor's closet and cleaned up the evidence of the woman’s demise. Once that was all done, I watched with mounting apprehension for some sign of Benjamin’s return and the longer he was gone, the harder my gut twisted with worry for him.

I was so relieved when Benjamin finally made an appearance I wanted to jump with joy. He was even carrying an armload of food that he’d brought from the cafeteria after he had cleared the way there. I nodded my thanks for the food and tried hard not to bombard him with the questions that were still sitting on the tip of my tongue.
