The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2253

Shaun then explained, "If that person is holding Penny hostage, then he or she isn't going to care that we're here. Penny might just die if the person loses their mind in a fit of anger. We need to find her—and fast!"

Monica nodded, assuring them that she would not be giving such ludicrous ideas anymore. She remembered the howling wings, the shifting rocks, and more importantly, something that sounded like trash cans.

"I remember a place with garbage sorting boxes enclosed by iron sheets. That must be what I heard! I don't know how I bumped into it, but I remember a very distinctive box-like sound."

Monica might have missed that detail under normal circumstances because it was just a small sound. Given the nature of the emergency, she remembered it vividly and could even tell that it sounded like that of a trash can.

"There's only one place around here that has a trash can like that. If I'm not mistaken, it's on our left." The producer pointed in that direction with a stern expression. They were all familiar with that area as the director had brought most of the actors there during filming.

No one expected something so grave to happen under such circumstances.

"Let's split up. The sooner we find Penny, the better. Things are only going to become more dangerous with time."

The director and producer headed in the same direction while Monica followed Lucas closely.

"Please control your voice. Even if you're frightened, you mustn't scream or alert anyone. Am I clear?" Lucas's condescending tone unnerved Monica slightly, but she had to endure for the sake of ensuring that for the moment.

"I understand, Mister Lucas," she muttered.

At that moment, he could not tell whether his surge of excitement was due to completing the task assigned by Tracy or the anticipation of soon venting his anger on Penny.

When he was fulfilling Tracy's task, he simply did so because he believed himself to be in the same boat as her. He would do whatever Tracy asked him to do.

Somehow, there was a sense of excitement as he held Penny's fragile neck and imagined her slowly being drained of her breath.

With that in mind, Roland took slow and menacing steps toward Penny.
