Chapter 215: Killam

Killam squeezed his phone and using the screen's light picked his way up the stairs.

Were those voices? Or was he imagining that?

He took the final step into the onetime closet.

Light shone from under the door.

Fuck.

Ivy saw it, too, and flattened herself to the wall on the opposite side, behind the door.

The light passed, as did the voices.

If they went out now, they'd have to take out however many guards were out there and deal with the bodies.

Killam drew in a deep breath, held it, then let it go.

They had to act carefully. He'd already rushed into something. That couldn't happen again.

The minutes drew out.

The lights flickered again and stayed on for half a second before going out again.

"We have to go," Ivy whispered.

Killam grimaced in the darkness.

She wasn't wrong.

He grabbed the doorknob and twisted. Carefully he swung the door open a tiny bit. Just enough to glimpse the hallway.
