Chapter 61
My friendsand I split up. Royce, Forrest, and Grayson took the second floor because it was larger, while Remi and I scoured the third floor. People were everywhere, and it was hard trying to locate a young girl and Orion Reimann.
This event served two purposes for me: finding Aimee and confirming Orion’s identity. I had been working a lot the past couple of weeks trying to find information on a man who had done everything he could to remain hidden.
But people made mistakes when they were taken by surprise, even extremely skilled individuals. Having worked in the field, I was trained to look for details that others could miss, and I’d spotted something interesting that changed my entire outlook.
My friends and I were in a vulnerable state right now.
As I wandered into the various galleries, I kept my eyes open for a young girl and a man. I passed a group of people listening to a museum guide discuss an abstract sculpture that looked like a god bursting forth from the head of the beast. I wasn’t sure what kind of myth that artwork depicted.
A humming sound caught my ear, and I turned. A girl was holding a flyer, walking down a hallway.
I couldn’t see her face, but her height and form told me she could be Aimee. I glanced around, and no adults were near her.
As I followed her, I called out, “Aimee?”
She turned, and my heart leaped.
Then she rushed into a room.
