Shaun then explained, "If that person is holding Penny hostage, then he or she isn't going to care that we're here. Penny might just die if the person loses their mind in a fit of anger. We need to find her—and fast!"
Monica nodded, assuring them that she would not be giving such ludicrous ideas anymore. She remembered the howling wings, the shifting rocks, and more importantly, something that sounded like trash cans.
"I remember a place with garbage sorting boxes enclosed by iron sheets. That must be what I heard! I don't know how I bumped into it, but I remember a very distinctive box-like sound."
Monica might have missed that detail under normal circumstances because it was just a small sound. Given the nature of the emergency, she remembered it vividly and could even tell that it sounded like that of a trash can.
"There's only one place around here that has a trash can like that. If I'm not mistaken, it's on our left." The producer pointed in that direction with a stern expression. They were all familiar with that area as the director had brought most of the actors there during filming.
No one expected something so grave to happen under such circumstances.
"Let's split up. The sooner we find Penny, the better. Things are only going to become more dangerous with time."
The director and producer headed in the same direction while Monica followed Lucas closely.
"Please control your voice. Even if you're frightened, you mustn't scream or alert anyone. Am I clear?" Lucas's condescending tone unnerved Monica slightly, but she had to endure for the sake of ensuring that for the moment.
"I understand, Mister Lucas," she muttered.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
