Back at the apartment, Sarah pulled out her phone, ready to take pictures. Thea closed her eyes in despair, feeling helpless.
Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud crash, sunlight flooding the room.
Nicolas strode in, swiftly kicking Sarah off Thea and tossing his jacket over her trembling frame.
Terrified, Thea came to her senses and huddled to the side wrapped in the jacket. Her pale face was filled with fear and
