She nodded her head and didn't complain. She came to the same realization-that this must be a trap, and we were both in danger.

Adessa drank the soft drink up to the last drop without using any straw before putting the fries and the burgers back inside the brown bag. "Can we take the food? I don't want to throw it."

"Yes, but it's Rasmus' car. We'll take a cab."

"Okay, okay. I'm ready." She stood, holding the paper bags in one hand and the backpack in the other.

I was not easily rattled or terrified, but the idea that Rasmus might set up a trap for us by telling me where she was made me worried. I had no idea who to trust anymore.
