Chapter 141: Lumen

Saturday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.

LUMEN STARED AT HER PHONE.

Max had been gone for two hours. What was going on? Where was he? What had Thomas dragged him into?

She tapped into her pictures and studied some of the images she'd taken of the book. She'd spent an hour in the cabin photographing and sending them to Zain to analyze. He hadn't said anything yet other than that he'd received them.

Lumen couldn't decipher anything. There were numbers and codes that made no sense.

If the dates were right, this book contained five years' worth of transactions. According to Nabanita, that was about as long as Thomas had worked at the sanctuary.

So what was the book?

Aspen had described it like a ledger of illicit dealings.

Was this an official book? One they used to keep record of what they bought and paid? Or was this Thomas' personal dirt on everyone else?

Lumen fanned herself with a folded piece of paper.
