Chapter 250

"I'd been staying at the studio the past few days," Briony recalled. "It was around then that I started feeling weak and unwell."

"But haven't you stayed at the studio overnight plenty of times before? You never felt sick then, did you?"

Suddenly, Briony remembered the day Lauren had brought Irwin to see her at the studio. Now that she thought about it, Irwin had seemed a little off.

Could it have been him...?

James pressed, "Who are you talking about?"

Briony's expression changed. "Hand me my phone."

James quickly passed it to her. Briony dialed Hannah.

Hannah picked up almost right away. "Briony?"

“Hannah, I need you to go to my office and the break room. Look very carefully and see if there's anything unusual-like some kind of energy stone or mineral."

"What?" Hannah was startled. "Energy stone? Aren't those radioactive or something?"

"Exactly. Just check for anything strange, will you?"

"Okay, but what am I even looking for?"

"I'm not sure," Briony said, her tone grave. "It's just a hunch. I can't say for sure there's anything there, but I want you to double-check for me."

"All right, I'll look now."
