Summary
His hand skims the familiar divots of a door. He reaches down and feels for the knob. It rattles under his hand, not budging an inch when he tries to turn it. The next door he tries turns up the same result, along with the door after it. Varian lets his hand fall with a sigh.
Down the hall, the sound of Cassandra’s footsteps comes to a stop. “What are you doing?”
“We should probably start looking in rooms. Hugo, do you have your picks?”
No response. Varian slows to a stop, spine stiffening.
“...Hugo?”
Again, nothing. Varian turns around, holding the lighter at arm’s length as he searches behind him for any sign of Hugo. As far as he can see, the room behind him is completely empty. Dread crawls into his throat.
“Cass?” he calls over his shoulder, volume be damned.
“What happened?”
“Did–” Varian takes another few steps, moving the lighter so sharply the flame stutters as he searches around the room. “Did you see where Hugo went?”
