"She's not answering. This isn't like her," I said, worry coloring my voice.

Christopher placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "I'm concerned about you and your friend. Let me stay until you reach her."

Just then, my phone chimed with a text message. I quickly opened it to find a message

from Olivia:

Don't worry about me! I went back to the hotel to look after that man-the one we took to

the hotel together. He'll need someone when he wakes up, and I think this might be my

chance! Goodnight! xx

I shook my head, struggling to find words.

"Nothing... just... I'm worried about her. She barely knows that him, yet she went to his hotel..." I said, collapsing onto the sofa.

"Olivia is a smart woman," Christopher reassured me. "She knows how to protect herself."

I opened my mouth to explain why I was so concerned, then closed it again.
