Noelle frowned. "Well?" "Erwin's been arrested," Hendrix finally told her.
Noelle was confused.
"He's been staying in the country for a while," Hendrix explained slowly. "A few days ago, he even threw a party. And just last night, someone ended up dead."

"His people will definitely find a way to get him out. But it's different for me. What do you think will happen if word of this gets out?" Noelle paused before replying, "But you didn't go to the party, right?" Hendrix chuckled. "Whether I went or not doesn't matter. What matters is that my nwas on the list." Noelle fell silent again.
