Charlie River pushed open the villa gate, making an inviting gesture.
As Thomas Shannon stepped into the villa, a startled servant hurried out. Upon seeing the dense crowd of men in black, the servant was so frightened his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Who... who are you?"
"Quiet down. I promise you'll be fine." Charlie River stepped forward and covered the servant's mouth.
The servant, trembling all over, watched in terror as Thomas Shannon headed upstairs.
Oh no, Miss and the maniac are still upstairs!
CLICK.
The faint sound of a door lock turning was heard.
Thomas Shannon pushed open the guest room door. The bedroom was dark; no wall lamps were on. Relying on the faint light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, Thomas Shannon spotted a raised shape under the covers on the bed.
Sophie Sullivan lay on her side, her breathing light and even.
