Left Behind- The Kids: Battling The Commander Chs. 4&5 Conrad and the Commander, Lionel’s Run
The next morning a different guard returned for Conrad. Darrion had been gone all night.
“Don’t believe anything he says,” Mr. Stein yelled as the man led Conrad away.
Melinda and Felicia waited outside the interview room and scowled when Conrad sat beside them.
“I wanted to tell you guys what was up, but I didn’t want to blow my cover,” Conrad said.
“What are you talking about?” Melinda asked.
“The commander put me down there so I could listen to those to talk,” he said. “I got what he wanted.”
“I don’t believe you,” Felicia said. “You’re one of them.”
“I was just as surprised as you when Lionel turned up dirty.”
The girls turned away.
“I need your help,” Conrad said, moving where he could see them. “I’m going to catch Lionel, the girl, and that other guy.”
The door opened. Commander Blanca came outside. “What is this, Graham?”
“Commander, Sir, I figured since I was innocent, you put me in with the others to spy. It worked.”
The commander cleared his throat. “I didn’t. I mean… what did you find out?”
“Darrion’s definitely one of them, sir,” Conrad answered.
“We’ve had someone talking to her all night,” the commander said. “She says she doesn’t know them.”
“If it’s all right with you, I’d like to see the look on her face when I tell you the whole story,” Conrad said.
The commander motioned the three inside. Darrion looked exhausted. Her eyes were puffy and red. The commander probably talked about her parents, Conrad thought.
Conrad knew this would be the tough part. If he could convince the commander he wasn’t partners with the others, he had a chance to get Darrion and Mr. Stein out.
