Paige Summers started her search again from the first room.
She placed Erin Quinn in a corner, then planted herself in the middle of the room. It wasn't a large space. She slammed a fist down, and a large crater formed in the floor. The method was direct and brutal, but if there really was a cellar below, there should have been some kind of reaction.
'If that doesn't work, I can just punch it again!'
'In a place this small, I could dig up the whole floor. I refuse to believe I won't find it!'
As she moved from room to room, Howard Everett, watching from outside, felt the corner of his eye twitch. 'Is she even a woman?! Okay, she is, but she's practically a man!'
Marcus Monroe, however, watched in silence until she moved to the third room. Then, making the excuse that he was going to look around, he left the courtyard.
Once he was out of Paige Summers's line of sight, he helplessly massaged his forehead. 'Does she really trust that kid so much?'
"Boss… You got a headache?"
