Meanwhile, Brielle hadn’t yet told Spencer where to meet, opting instead to call and gauge his level of suspicion. Finding that Spencer wasn’t on guard against her, she pondered for a moment before setting the rendezvous at the upscale Dorsey International Hotel for that evening. She had stayed there before; the security was tight, and she knew it was safe.

Brielle rested until the afternoon and, before heading to the hotel, she made a quick stop at the pharmacy to pick up some sleeping pills.
