Trespasses Louise Kennedy の小説・ストーリー

I said as I threw him forward. Kennedy comes down from the podium and stands in front of the technician. “SPEAK!” He commanded. “I was told to play this when you started talking about human trafficking. I didn’t know what was on it.” “WHO TOLD YOU TO PLAY IT?” “He went by Sir.” “Son of a bitch.” Jett growled. “Where is my brother and sister-in-law?” Suddenly, the screen behind Kennedy and Jett turns on. Like it was hacked or something. On the screen is Jasper. How the fuck is he getting a signal from a cell? Is he still in the dungeon.

Don’t mention it. The voice on the callbox was panicked. “Wait – what’s happening? Why did – ” I didn’t hear the rest since Leo rolled on through and onto the property.

Austin's POV I sit in stunned silence, my eyes fixed on the screen as I watch the footage again. The grainy video shows Louise walking towards the pool door, her eyes fixed on something in the distance. Then, a figure emerges from the shadows, their movements swift and deliberate.

I hesitated at first, but eventually took his hand as he pulled me to my feet. He handed me a napkin. I hesitated again before taking it, then turned my back on Kennedy.
