When the car stopped in the apartment's underground garage, Frey noticed a conspicuous black Lamborghini parked there.
Ignoring the odd sight of such a Odd luxury car in a non-luxury building, she asked Koen to stay behind while she took the elevator alone. Just as she was about to scan her keycard, she saw someone leaning against the elevator wall.
