There were still way too many people in the room with Crawler. And I still had no idea where Grue was. Slowly and carefully, I navigated my bugs through the rooms of the building the Nine had occupied: A makeshift dining hall with a kitchen, a room solely for storing garbage, then a small open shower with three stalls.
Hm. This doesn’t really sound like a library or a hardware store.
It had been some sort of office building with no computers, desks or cubicles.
Huh.
Something big, firm and formed of cloth… one of Parian’s stuffed animals?
Oh hey. That sounds… potentially bad. Was this her hideout?
It lay prone on the ground, on the other end of the building from where the Nine were poised, so large and fat that it wouldn’t be able to fit through any of the doors.
Hmm.
