Chapter 181

LUKE PROWLED AROUND THE darkened cell.

He'd busted three of the four lights in an effort to give Abigail some relief. It also diminished the guard's ability to watch them. Soon they'd have to move them to another cell to keep up the observation. His best guess was that they'd been here for close to five days. In that time, they'd had one meal and water twice, if he didn't count the water-boarding they'd done to Abigail.

One Mississippi...Two Mississippi...

Again and again he counted out the minutes, waiting for someone to show up demanding to know why the lights were busted. But no one had yet.

Baron had left them-what? Three hours ago.

According to Abigail he would have traveled on a helo. At most, their two guards were still there, though her theory was that those two men rotated out, leaving only one on-duty during the down hours. That would make sense-the lone guard wasn't coming to check on them until back-up arrived.
