, led by Jon to Abigail Zimmerman's current residence, Titus Zane finally learned what they meant by "the compound".
It was a residential area for high-ranking military officers, guarded by sentries, completely inaccessible to ordinary people.
Jon said someone forbade Abigail from contacting them, so he dared not rashly inquire with the guards about her whereabouts, and could only wait in the car as before, hoping for a chance encounter.
But Jon's idea was somewhat naïve; military compounds are not like ordinary courtyards where one can park or stroll around at will.
All the residents in the compound were leading figures, and a strange car blatantly parked in front of the compound would naturally attract the attention of the guards.
The sentry left the guardhouse, stood chest out, head up, and approached the car, bending over to knock on the window, Jon was elated thinking they were being allowed to pass, and hurriedly rolled down the window.
