It had been days since the announcement of the manhunt, and still, there hadn't been a single report. It didn't make any sense. Amanda was well-known-people would recognize her.

"It's going to be okay," Fiona said reassuringly. "You're not alone-we're watching your back."

"Thanks," I said weakly, picking up my cocktail and taking a deep drink. I had been trying to push Amanda from my mind, to ignore the anxiety coiling in my stomach, but clearly, I wasn't doing a very good job of it if Fiona had picked up on it so easily.

"I know a place," she said with a broad smile. "The DJ is great, and the dance floor is always packed."
