Alexander walked beside me. | could feel his body heat radiating off of him, and it gavea small amount of
comfort.
He lowered his voice and leaned toward me. “How did you get her to let us in?” he asked.
“I paid her,” | whispered in a low voice so that the woman wouldn't hear.
Alexander leaned closer. “What?” he asked.
“I paid her,” | muttered.
He shook his head in frustration. “I can’t hear you. You're barely moving your lips.”

Richard and Rose looked back and snickered from our antics.

five chairs and a wooden coffee table that was filled with magazines that had crystal balls on
them.

pen that | had in my purse. | began to write on the notebook as my friends looked on.
“This room is probably bugged, and they might even be listening to us right now."
| showed the note to everyone, and they nodded.
