Till Dark - Page 33/113

At the end of the hall was a very large bathroom done in a rose motif. It smelled of fresh cut roses and was decorated very fancy compared to Andy's office and the other bathroom she had used. The wallpaper had pink and red roses all over it. The shower curtain was a rich red with a white lace overlay. The floor was done in red carpet with rugs that matched the wallpaper in front of the tub and toilet. A gold Victorian style framed mirror covered the length of one wall above the double sinks. The counter tops were a white marble decorated with baskets filled with rose soaps and bath oil beads. Packets of bath salts were sitting in a wire basket next to the tub along with a set of pink towels folded neatly on a small brass stand. The window was a bouquet of roses portrayed in stained glass. Jordan felt like she was in a luxury hotel with all the trimmings. She closed the door and examined the doorknob to see if it were a standard one, to her relief it was. After rummaging around in the cabinets under the sink she finally found what she was looking for. She turned the water on in the sink and pulled the cotton tip off the q-tip she had found. Opening the bathroom door a crack she looked to see if anyone were there and then locked the door behind her before heading down the hall.

Thoughts of the bomb raced through her mind as well as the fact that there was something in one of the rooms that Andy didn't particularly want Jordan to know about and she had to find out just what that was. She crept quietly along the corridor to the first door on her right. It was locked so she inserted her q-tip into the hole till she felt the click and then she turned the knob slowly and peered inside. There didn't seem to be anyone in the room so she slipped inside and closed the door without a click. The room was dark inside. Outside the big windows thunder rolled and lightening streaked across the sky sending a sizzle up her spine as she realized that she was not alone.
