Angela POV

"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."

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

The color drained from my face, and my phone nearly slipped from my fingers. "Angela?" Christopher's voice sharpened with concern. "What's wrong? What happened?"

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.
