The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1333

Ida had a sudden realization and turned to Chase. "Are you saying she might have gone to the explosion site looking for Theo?"

Chase wasn't sure. "It's just a guess. We've looked everywhere we could think of. The only place we haven't checked is the crime scene."

Though they didn't continue their conversation, they seemed to come to some mutual understanding and quickly ran to their respective cars.

Afterwards, Chase's car and the Howard family's car both headed towards the factory in the suburbs that had exploded.

...

At the same time.

In a small town not far from the Greenhaven suburbs, in a certain bungalow courtyard, Ellinor was tied up and confined in a dirty, small room. The air was filled with the scent of barbecue and cheap beer.

Every now and then, she could hear people outside swearing and telling crude jokes.

Since she was pregnant, the unpleasant smells made Ellinor feel nauseous.

The two men who had brought her here were outside drinking and eating late-night snacks with their comrades, not paying her any mind.

After bringing her here, they locked her in the room and left her alone.

Ellinor's mouth was taped shut, so she couldn't call for help.

She didn't plan on calling for help anyway. In her current situation, making a fuss would only make things worse.

She observed her surroundings while moving her body, trying to use the sharp corner of some debris to cut the rope tied around her ankles.
