CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Silas dropped his jacket on the chair and loosened his tie. He pulled up the cameras in Hailey’s room from his phone. The shower was where he was headed next, but for his own piece of mind he wanted to check on Hailey. The first angle only showed a messy bed. At least she was out of bed and moving around, he mused. The second angle showed the rest of her empty room. A lamp lay on its side in the middle of the floor. He narrowed his eyes flipping through the four camera views of her room.

She wasn’t there.

Pocketing his phone he strolled down the stairs to where the cells were. Maybe she had convinced the guard with those eyes of hers to let her go into Alex’s room.

It was a pitiful explanation and one he barely believed himself.

The guard, Lucas, who he left in charge, was not at his post. If experience had taught him anything, it was to go slow and observe. Rushing only made room for mistakes. So he walked slowly down the hallway peering into each cell. Hailey’s was empty and the door open. He took a quick peek inside and zeroed in on the wall between her and Alex. Bloody numbers of the pass code were written in a shaky script. Her mattress was stripped of its sheet and left behind only a rusty red stain in the center. He growled. Someone had made her bleed.

Alex’s room was next; his door was also opened, but nothing out of the ordinary in there. Those were the only two rooms unlocked. Everyone else was tucked safely away in their cells, some were sedated, some half dead, one hadn’t stopped smiling for a year now. None of them looked at Silas as he walked by.

Spots of blood trailed from her room down the hallway toward his interrogation rooms. The door to the first one was hanging open. Boo sat in the doorway. Keeping guard, he realized. He stepped around the cat and found his guard Lucas in the center of the room bound and gagged. Relief shone in his eyes at the sight of Silas. The man’s idea of a savior was far off, Silas thought. A piece of paper had been stapled to his shirt.

Guess whose blood this is?

Silas jerked the paper free and read it again. His eyes slid from the words to the floor of the room. It had been used recently. No one had authorization to use these rooms without Silas’s permission and most times his supervision was required. He could smell Hailey in here. Her blood was pungent but it was the tangy scent of fear that marked the room.

He smiled viciously at Lucas.

“I’ll be back. Make sure he doesn’t go anywhere.” Silas said to Boo. The man’s eyes bulged from his skull and he began to fight his bindings with renewed vigor. Silas dropped the paper in his lap and strolled out the door.

The security room held cameras and recordings. He entered his passcodes and found the videos for the previous day.
