‘Richard grew up in Spain and has recently just learned English. He's still working on learning the language.’
| nodded my head in understanding. But it didn’t matter towhere he was from as long as he could make sure
that my friend was safe.

It only took Richard five minutes to make a call in the corridor where there weren't cameras.
When he cback, his face was expressionless, and | wished that he would give something away, but his face
remained stony. My heart slammed against my chest as | waited to find out what he had discovered.
Richard took the pen and paper. By drawing pictures and using a few small words-since he was still working on

close to me.
“Hey, look at this,” Alexander whispered and pointed out two small holes in the wall.
My pulse quickened as the two of us kneeled down to look through the holes.
Once | saw what was in that room, my mouth dropped open in shock.
In a small, dimly-lit room, three people sat around a wooden table. On top of the table sat a giant, swirling
