If Pepper, who had at least some military training, couldn’t see a way out of here, what was she supposed to do? Dear God, please, please, please get us out of here alive. She felt bad about her furtive prayer. What did she do to earn God’s attention? Nothing but break every commandment she felt like breaking. The front door opened and closed again as Emily pressed against the shower. Had Pepper returned? Or was it one of the other club members checking out why Pepper was in and out of here so much? “Hey, Emily?” Emily released a sigh of relief at the sound of Pepper’s voice. “What’s going on?” “Aces wanted to know where Luke was.” Emily wondered the same thing. “Do you know?” “All I know is that he went to Saks’ apartment to see what he could find out. Saks had been missing since sometime after work yesterday.”
