Chapter 138: Aspen

Wednesday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.

ASPEN HUDDLED UNDER THE window, knees drawn up to her chest and listened. Or tried to. Her heart was still pounding so hard it was difficult to hear anything besides the blood rushing past her ears.

That was too close.

She'd wasted almost half an hour watching the security office, ensuring it was empty before trying to make her move. If it hadn't been for that sick feeling in the pit of her stomach, Thomas would have walked up to her opening the front door.

Earlier today she'd finally gotten to check the basement of the main house. She'd thought Buzz had to be there since no one had seen him come or go.

The basement had been empty.

So where?

What other location could they be using to keep Buzz?

The security office. It had to be there, didn't it?

That was where they had three, secure holding rooms. Normally they were for people who'd taken the party a little too far. But it made sense they might hold Buzz.

Damn it.
