Chapter 232: Like a Shockwave

Enzo’s face was as white as a sheet when I turned around to look at him. We all knew that Richard was going to die, but Enzo seemed completely out of it — and for good reason, of course. Even though Enzo and Richard had their differences, he was still Enzo’s father.

I wished that I could comfort Enzo during those moments, but I couldn’t. Because as I looked at Enzo’s pale, shaking face, I felt my phone buzz. I pulled it out, my eyes widening as I saw Lori’s text on the screen.

They had seen Selena outside. She was coming, and we needed to get out of here before she caught us.

“Enzo,” I said, storming up to him and grabbing his wrists. It pained me to force him to move now when he was in shock, but it had to be done. “Lori texted me. Selena is coming. We have to go now.”

Enzo’s eyes snapped back to reality, and recognition flashed across his face. He nodded before rushing over to Richard’s bed and scooping him up. I heard Richard mumble Enzo’s name, and Enzo responded with some words of comfort, but I stood by the door with Luke to give them some privacy.

We made our way through the corridors, back down the stairs and then through the maze once more. Luke led the way with Enzo carrying Richard at the back, and the three of us moved quickly through the dark mansion. Finally, we pushed our way back out into the cool night, and made a run for it across the road to where Matt, Lori, and Jessica were waiting.
