Nora hurried to her café, her mind racing with a mix of fear and determination.
As she approached the entrance, she noticed two men standing just outside, their eyes following her as she walked by.
They were impeccably dressed in expensive suits, but there was something unsettling about them. Their stern faces and the way they stood, rigid and alert, sent a shiver down her spine.
Nora pushed open the café’s back door, heading straight for the storage area where Claire’s boxes were kept.

(felt strange)
She turned around and was startled to see the two men had followed her inside.
Nora Sullivan( fl )
Can I help you with something?
One of the men, the taller of the two, stepped forward.
？？？
We need to talk to you.
Nora Sullivan( fl )
I’m sorry, but I’m really busy right now, I’ve got something important to do.
She turned away, intending to find the boxes quickly and leave, but the man’s next words stopped her in her tracks.
？？？
Where is Claire Dawson?
Nora spun around, eyes wide with surprise.
Nora Sullivan( fl )
What? How do you know Claire?
？？？
That’s not important,Tell us where she is.
Nora Sullivan( fl )
I don’t know,
？？？
Don’t lie to us. Where is she?😡
Nora Sullivan( fl )
I told you, I don’t know!😡
Nora Sullivan( fl )
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I really need to—
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a sudden sharp sting in her neck.
Her vision blurred almost instantly, and a wave of dizziness overwhelmed her.
Nora tried to stay upright, but her legs gave way beneath her. The last thing she saw before everything went dark was the cold, emotionless faces of the men as they watched her fall.
