Dario headed straight toward the vehicle to see who was arriving in such a mad rush, and I and Shauna were already off the shaded porch to follow him.
But instead of parking in the front courtyard or heading down the usual path that led toward the wide garages, the car took a reckless bend that led straight toward the eastern part of the large mansion.
It was a secluded wing of the building that I still hadn't explored at all since I was brought here, a side of the estate that always felt entirely off-limits and quiet.
Dario instantly broke into a hard sprint after the vehicle, and Shauna and I followed suit without a word.
We arrived at the eastern entrance just in time to see the car doors swinging open as Griffin and two other men stepped out into the open air.
I recognized the two soldiers immediately as part of the elite house security team, and had probably left the estate early this morning with Massimo.
