Chapter 5
Simon—bearded and sturdy—stepped into the room and looked at them with blood-shot eyes. William quickly jumped away from Jessie in surprise, embarrassed at the fact he was the only one who needed to be comforted.
“Let me know when you stop staring at each other, ‘cause I have some news.” Simon quirked an eyebrow at them.
Before William could protest and explain that he wasn’t crying or anything, Jessie asked, “What news?”
“I think I found Jasper.” Simon’s voice intensified the tension in the room and William stepped over to his side. He stared at the phone screen with wide eyes, unsure if he recognized the location. He could hear Jessie making a quick call, confirming that Jasper had checked into this hotel. In less than an hour, they were in the car, ready to face the situation as soon as possible.
