Chapter 49 : Recruiting Scarlett

The storage room on the second floor was not what I was expecting it to be. Scarlett went down the hall to check on Archer while I searched for the traveling packs Miriam was talking about. I pulled on a string hanging from the ceiling and the entire room flooded with light.

I gasped.

It was a long, narrow room lined with shelves, with backpacks and hiking boots, several stacks of clothing, shelf-stable food… and weapons, lots of them.

“Holy shit,” I hissed, clutching the traveling packs, essentially backpacks with metal rods to support the weight during long hikes, to my chest.

Everything I needed was in this room. Miriam must have seen my secret plans written all over my face.

Now I just needed to convince Scarlett to go with me.

I backed out of the room and shut the door behind me, tossing the bags along the wall in the hallway. The house was incredibly quiet today with such a large amount of Jared’s men gone.
