You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 447

“I found something. The last time she was seen was at Cloud Peak.”

“Cloud Peak?” One of the team looked surprised. “Isn’t that place closed to outsiders?”

“Yeah, it is. But that’s where Wilma was last tracked.”

“Didn’t they used to let people in before?”

“Only once, and someone almost died that time. After that, they shut it down for good.”
