The Boston Breakout (2014)
“The summer sun streamed warm through the hotel room window as Travis sat on the edge of his bed and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes with the backs of his fists.
There was a light knock at the door. The others were still sleeping – Nish snoring like Travis’s grandfather did when he napped at the cottage – and Travis opened the door quietly.
It was Sarah. Sam was gone again.
“When?” Travis asked.
“No idea,” Sarah said. “I thought she was in the next bed, but she’d just covered up a couple of pil...lows to make it look like she was.”
“Does Muck know? Or Mr. D?”
Sarah shook her head.
Travis felt the pincers of a dilemma begin to squeeze his brain. He was captain of the Screech Owls. He had a duty to look out for his teammates. But he also had a duty to the coach and general manager of the team. If he went to Muck and Mr. D, Sam might get in trouble – and for all he knew, she might simply be down in the lobby. If he and Sarah found her there, their worries would have been for nothing.MoreLess
