Sienna had little else to say. Ashleigh wanted to ask her more questions and clarify some of what she had said, but Sienna got very quiet. Galen whispered something to her, something that seemed to ease her mind a little.
Ashleigh couldn’t hear what they said, and Sienna turned and lay down as Galen got up and walked away from her.
“What did you say to her?” Ashleigh asked as he passed by her.
Galen looked back at Sienna.
“I assured her that her sister won’t be punished,” he said.
Ashleigh furrowed her brows.
“Punished?” she asked. “For what?”
Galen looked back at Ashleigh.
“Not here,” he said quietly. “We should check the perimeter anyway.”
Galen and Ashleigh left the room, making their way through the dark, quiet building. They checked windows and doors, ensuring they were all still locked and intact.
A room toward the back of the building had an access door. Once they had double-checked that it was secure, Ashleigh was tired of waiting.
