Story: Grave Secrets
“I’ve been tossing around in my mind what to do with her. She was supposed to go to Mr. Furman in New Zealand, but when I thought you defiled her, I almost gave her to you to keep as a concubine. Then when I discovered she’d escaped, I’d decided she should serve as a sort of toy for our most loyal members. I cannot decide which fate would be the worst punishment for her. She must pay for her sins.”
“We could stone her like they did in the old testament.”
“She hasn’t committed adultery, Dennis.”
“Let’s go with the last option. I want to see her passed around.”
“My, Dennis, you’re more sadistic than I gave you credit for. Your wish is granted. She shall remain the property of the Continental Alliance until she’s too old to serve in that capacity.”
“Then what?”
“We’ll dispose of her.”
Chapter Forty-Three
Samanthanearedthebunkerwhere she’d been kept. She needed to keep to the shadows, but to reach the estate house, she would have to dash across the yard and would be out in the open and vulnerable when she did. And if she didn’t find Brittany, all bets were off. There was no way she’d be able to rescue the girls without the code.
Leaning her back against the bunker, she waited and breathed a prayer. The blood-curdling scream of a fisher caused a shiver to crawl up her spine. It was the noise they made before they attacked. Something out there was about to die.
“Samantha?” Her heart skipped at the sound of the unexpected voice.
“Jenna?”
“Yeah. It’s me.”
“What are you doing here?”
“Long story, but Mason has Gavin and Grayson. They went into this building.”
“If the doors in there are locked, there is no way we’ll be able to get them out.”
“How do we get the keys?”
“I like the way you think, Jenna.”
“Cate and I locked Dennis up in one of the cells. He has the keys.”
“He’s not in there anymore. Cate is.”
“That’s not ideal.” She puffed out a breath. That meant Mason knew she was free and would be looking for her. “We have to get to the main house and steal the keys from the security office.”
“I imagine that won’t be easy.”
“No. I’m guessing it won’t be.”
“We have to get Emmaline out of there, too.”
“She’s not in there anymore. She’s safe for now.”
Another girl stepped from the shadows and Samantha recognized her from the video Mason had played for her. “You must be Sam?”
“And you are?”
“Grace. I was Gavin’s date tonight.”
“Gavin.Grayson?Youinthere?”
“We’re here, Billy,” Gray answered.
