Chapter 0330

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.

I couldn't understand where she had gone or how she was hiding so effectively. And that scared me. Amanda was unpredictable at the best of times, but now, she was desperate.

"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."

"That doesn't really sound like my scene," Elizabeth hedged.
