“The sewers are better than this place right now. Let’s go!”

Lauren waited impatiently for Cassie to return. Every moment she was gone left her alone and without any form of backup. Lauren couldn’t repress a sigh of relief when Cassie squirmed back through the opening. “Can you get the tape or memory card out? Just in case we have to ditch the camera or toss ...

“I'm worried. It seems too easy. Whoever goes in there is going to be on their own.”

Lauren looked around the group before turning her attention to the hole.

“But I don't see an alternative...”

Lauren wasted no time unleashing her powers upon spotting the Trolls, the burning sensation in her skin heralding the scorching flames that engulfed her to protect her from harm. Hopefully the sudden flare-up in the gloomy passageway wouldn’t blind her friends, or at least it would blind the Trolls ...

“What the...?” Lauren gaped at the commotion in the center of the crater. Of course. Whoever told Wyatt already told them, too. “OK! Stealth it is! We have a diversion, but it’s going to be a race!

Welcome aboard, Cassie. I believe Cassie is right. It's out there, and it's got evidence of what happened to Derrick and against the club. I also have word on Roach's arrest. Supposedly Roach had some backpack full of cash. Derrick's wallet was found in the backpack. Apparently, Abramsen has been su...

I managed to ask around a bit. The word is, they're looking for a lost camcorder. They're paying good money for its retrieval, too.

Sometime Tuesday morning “But you can’t let them do this! Roach had nothing to do with Derrick’s death!” It was no use. There was no concrete proof Roach was innocent. There was no concrete proof that Abramsen was dirty. All Lauren had were the words of known friends of Roach, friends who would hav...
