Nicole nodded. "That's very much possible."

Damien had been refusing to spill the beans on what he had been up to for a few days now. If anything, he seemed to be stalling, buying himself more time along the way.

This had led them to wonder what he was actually hoping to accomplish by stalling. Was he expecting someone to come to his rescue?

With the very same school of thought crossing Nicole's mind, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "Where is he?" "I don't know, and Patricia didn't say anything either," Lulu carefully replied.
