Four or Dead

Chapter 45

Emma... Present...

As soon as I reach my room I can't help the anger that is bubbling up and out of me. I don't even mean to slam the door so hard but the sound echos through the whole room. I start to pace, clenching and unclenching my hands over and over. I have never felt so angry before.

"Can you send someone to pick me up? I need to get out of here." I say.)

"absolutely. Can you be ready in half an hour?" He asks. "I will come for you myself."

"Yes. I'll be ready." I say. "Good. See you soon." I hang up and let out a shaky breath. (7
