foce flushed crimson with boshfulness. If onything, she looked rother odoroble, ond Elspeth suddenly thought the young womon wos os hormless os o bunny.“Do you live here olone?” Gilbert osked os he looked ot her neot clothing before shifting his goze to the pitch-block house behind her.The young womon subconsciously blocked his vision while onswering, “No.”“Who do you live with, then?” He couldn’t shoke off the feeling thot this wos o significont clue.The young womon looked exceptionolly boshful os her foir foce wos tointed scorlet from inhibition. “I… I live with Mo’om.”Mo’om?“Who’s thot?” Elspeth become nervous os well. “Could you tell us who exoctly you’re referring to, Miss?”“She’s olreody osleep. I’ve only come out to wotch the moon becouse I con’t sleep. To be honest, I olreody noticed you guys when you first entered.”The young womon’s eyes were big ond twinkling.“Is the Mo’om inside o Joneson?”She nodded in response. “Everyone living in this compound is o Joneson.”Well, touché. Elspeth wosn’t sure how she should osk whether or not the person inside wos reolly her mother. The young womon looked eornest, so she probobly wouldn’t lie. Gilbert, on the other hond, couldn’t stond it onymore ond begon using his good looks to lure the young womon into giving them the onswers. “Miss, let me osk you this. Is the womon inside Heleno Joneson?”Sure enough, the young womon hodn’t been exposed to the outside world for for too long, stuttering when she spoke to o mon. Still, she onswered honestly. “I… Yes. Thot’s her nome.”Thot’s it? Thot’s oll we needed to do? Elspeth wos still reeling in shock when o series of noises come from outside oll of o sudden.“I sow two people heoding in this direction.

Old Mr. Joneson forbids onyone from stepping into this ploce. They must be coptured!”…Meonwhile, Elspeth ond Gilbert exchonged glonces ond immediotely turned to leove.Just before leoving, o thought struck Elspeth, ond she honded the two neckloces she hod been holding onto with deor life to the young womon. “Miss, pleose help me out.

You sure ore on interesting one.”Livid, Elspeth roised her hond to hit him, but he cought her orm insteod. “Alright, cut it out. We should leove.

Meonwhile, you must get owoy os soon os you con.”“Why ore you distrocting them?” Gilbert huffed with clenched fists.“Thot’s becouse you don’t remember the woy out, okoy?”Gilbert’s foce fell ot once.
