She debated for ages about calling Elizabeth. But if she did, Elizabeth would figure out she hadn’t left Seamarsh and she’d get in trouble.
In a panic, she recalled the business card Fernando had handed her.
Digging through her bag, she searched for it.

She repeated her plea, worried Fernando might refuse.

Rose wobbled upright, her vision blurry with tears. Finally seeing Fernando, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Glancing at Hess, she queried, “What about him?”
Fernando glanced at her, then away, nonchalant. “My guys will handle tee.”
In a daze, Rose followed Fernando out, noticing the absent guards at the door. A flicker of relief flickered across her.
The car glided along the open road, its destination unknown to Rose.
