The only ones in the room were Spencer and me. When the man turned to look at me, he smiled. “Ms. Stovall, your room’s on the fourth floor. You…”

“Take me to the third floor,” I interrupted. Then, I walked out of the room. Armond’s villa was massive to the point one would take minutes just to go from one end to the other end of a floor. Spencer frowned, seemingly hesitant about leading me there.

Hence, I said, “Take me there. Since he wants to keep me here, he can’t possibly stop me from going anywhere.”

I nodded. “Are they all snakes? Does he keep anything else?”
