All she could manage was a quiet apology, her voice tight with nerves. "Linsey, I'm really sorry. I should have been watching Zenia and Zander more carefully. When I noticed they weren't in the room this morning, I just assumed they were off playing somewhere else in the hotel." They continued their urgent pace outside, flagging down a taxi swiftly.
