Sean stepped aside and made a call to Luke. He spoke in a low voice giving him a few quiet instructions.
Soon after, Thomas was taken below deck to a hidden, dimly lit roon..
The man leading the way was a member of the Stone family—one of the ship’s management staff. He escorted Luke to the most secluded chamber on the cruise.
The room was soundproof.
It was far from the entertainment areas and guest cabins. Unless someone familiar with the ship gave directions, there was no way anyone would ever find it.
In this place, no matter how loudly Thomas screamed, no one outside that room would hear a thing.
