She descended via the elevator to the subterranean parking, stepping out into the dimly
lit expanse. Two vigilant sentinels stood watch at the exit.
“Have you seen Tyrone exiting just now?” Sierra inquired anxiously.
“No.” Both of them shook their heads.
“When did you arrive here?”
One of them consulted his wristwatch and replied, “Approximately 8:53 p.m.”
Her heart raced. When she realized Tyrone wasn’t in his room, she called Blayze at 8:50

reassuring her.
She pivoted and retraced her steps, only to be abruptly seized by a large hand that swiftly
muffled her mouth and whisked her into a secluded corner.
Eyes widened in alarm, Sierra fought valiantly, yet her struggles proved futile.

Sabrina’s schedule left little room for these pick-ups.
The duo had gone three days without seeing each other.
Upon sighting Sabrina, Jennie showered her with two affectionate kisses.
Sabrina, chuckling and wiping off the slobbery traces, inquired, “Where would you like to
go today, Jennie?”
“Sabrina, I’d love to visit the amusement park.”
Despite her maturity beyond her years, Jennie remained, at heart, a child, and, especially
after five days of school, her primary desire was to play.
Jennie cast her gaze upwards at the overcast sky.
