"Come on, let's get you out of here." He didn't ask any questions as he guided me to the break room and collected my bag, throwing it over his shoulder. As soon as we left the café building, I relaxed a little. Not a lot, but some.

"Do we need to go to the police station?" He asked, looking at me with carefully hidden worry, but I noticed it all the same.

"No," I said, shaking my head vehemently.
