Broccoli’s worry was written all over her face. “But Lydia…”
“Go.” Lydia’s voice was calm and firm. She wasn’t the least bit worried about herself.
Broccoli hesitated, then nodded. “Alright. We’ll get them out and come back as soon as we can.”
“Okay.”
Broccoli and Pumpkin each took a vehicle, loaded the girls inside, and drove away from the compound.
Lydia climbed up to higher ground and surveyed the area. She spotted a small, rundown building tucked away in the southeast corner, barely noticeable compared to the rest. That was her target.
She moved quietly, her petite frame slipping through the shadows while guards patrolled everywhere. When she reached the shabby building, two big men stood out front, pacing back and forth with guns in their hands. Lydia checked her weapons. She had a silenced pistol and a homemade tranquilizer gun hidden up her sleeve.
She slid out the tiny dart gun, aimed for the back of the nearest man’s neck, and fired. He crumpled instantly. The second guard spun around at the sound, but he went down just as fast, a dart in his neck before he could even shout.
Lydia slipped inside. The stench hit her like a wall, thick and sour, making her gag. A narrow hallway stretched ahead, lined with doors, each one locked and rusted. She cursed under her breath. She should’ve searched the guards for keys, but there was no time to go back.
There were no windows, so she couldn’t see into the rooms. Still, these old locks weren’t going to stop her. She took a small piece from her tranquilizer gun, thicker than a sewing needle, and picked the nearest lock. The door popped open with a soft click.
She pushed the door in. The room was dim and stank of sweat and fear. Seven boys were huddled in a corner, hugging their knees and trembling. They looked up in shock when they saw her, a girl who seemed almost angelic in the gloom.
What stunned them even more was when Lydia spoke to them. “If you’re brave enough, run northwest. Don’t stop.”
The guards outside were already down. The boys stared at her, then scrambled to their feet and dropped to their knees, thanking her over and over.
Lydia pulled out her phone and showed them a photo. “Have you seen this boy?”

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
