Vespera directed Fawn to the window and helped her climb through. "Run, then call the police. Even if you get lost, just keep moving-get as far away as you can and find somewhere to hide."

"Go! Don't waste time with questions!" Vespera urged, pushing her out the window.

Startled by Vespera's tone, Fawn didn't hesitate any longer. She quickly jumped down to the ground.
