Chapter 20

 

Miley looked up in horror! Ned closed his eyes. They were caught before they’d had time to escape anywhere.

  Miley could have kicked herself.

Bacon would not want anyone to find out that she

was making kidnapped children work for her in a

match factory. Miley should have guessed there would be a third person on the prowl. It must the night watchman who had them caught fast.

  The man was none other than the big-waisted man who had bumped so rudely into Miley, the day she had found her way into the cellar of the Devil’s Element. Only then, she hadn’t known he was match factory’s night watchman.

  As it turned out, she still didn’t know who he really was.
