Through the blinds, Ellie saw Quinlee enter Orion’s room, her hands nervously clenching each other tightly.

Today was supposed to be Ellie’s day off; she’d rushed over at dawn when Orion called abruptly. She hadn’t anticipated today would be the day they’d spring their trap.

Jason had been incredibly busy and scarcely seen these past few days. His phone call warning her to leave was because he didn’t want Quinlee to see her and cause trouble.

But with Orion unable to see and Linda alone inside, Ellie wasn’t sure Linda could handle it. After a brief hesitation, Ellie decided to stay hidden a bit longer to observe how things unfolded.

In the hospital room, Quinlee walked in, her high heels clicking against the floor.

“Where the hell is that lazy girl Linda hiding now?” she muttered under her breath. Noticing the ajar door leading to the inner room, Quinlee slowed her pace.

Peeking through the gap, she saw Orion typing away on his computer.
