"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?"

James pressed, "Who are you talking about?"

"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."
