Alec released the clutch in his car, almost forgetting to take the key as he left. His house was warmer than Zoe's, but thankfully cooler than it was outside. He walked up the stairs and into the room tucked away in the corner, shielded from the sun with dark drapes.
A girl sat in a chair in the center of the room. She was bound, gagged, and bloodied, but not whimpering as he walked nearer. He tore out the gag.
"I can't wait until you're caught." She panted, spitting the bad taste from her mouth. "What's Chloe going to think when she finds out?"
"Her name is Zoe. She's not going to find out. She told me some very interesting information about you and Revenant. So you, Evelyn," he took out his pocketknife, "Are going to tell me where my sister is."
