Chapter 295

"It's like conspiracy central." I whistled at the grainy photos of an Area 51-esque compound in the desert that were tacked to the walls. All the angles were covered: from aerial views to shots from every side taken using a telephoto lens.

A huge map of the California desert was also pinned up, with sections crossed out in marker. It was exactly what Bastijn had been doing to find Sienna and would have been funny if it wasn't a hunt for a powerful witch mirroring a hunt for a secret compound.

"Fuck." Esther picked up a crescent moon pendant from the dresser.

I scurried over because she didn't drop F-bombs.

"Is that the necklace Tessa was wearing in the photo I have of her and Ferdinand?" I sniffed the air. "I smell bitter lemon."

She pressed down on one of the points of the pendant and it popped open, revealing a narrow hidden compartment filled with a pale yellow powder. The smell of bitter lemon intensified.
