“Rodney, is Tiffany Cross home tonight?”

He nodded, “Yes, suh. Just took her up ‘bout half a hour ago.”

That seemed like the longest elevator journey I’d ever been on.

“Has anyone else been to her floor since then? Anyone in the building you’ve never seen before? Or anyone that shouldn’t be here?”

He started looking scared, “No, suh!”

I put my hand on his shoulder, “It’s okay, Rodney. I’m just afraid Miss Cross might be in danger.”

“Danguh? How, suh?”

“I don’t know. Maybe I’m just being paranoid.”

We got to her floor and I raced for her apartment…

You know how to hang us out to dry on a cliff edge, Christopher! Loving it. Can’t wait for tomorrow! 😧

I’m hoping she’s alive - we haven’t had enough of Tiffany yet - nor for Jake’s sake has he.

Thanks, Drew.
