Chapter 24

The media team’s various electronic devices had been playing a muted symphony throughout the meeting, but something Xander saw on the screen of his phone made him stand up suddenly and say, “Meeting’s over. You have to leave now.”

Phoebe and Nick didn’t need to be told twice. They headed for the door. “No, no, no!” shouted X. “Not that way! You’ll have to go out the other way.”

“Other way?” Nick said, confused.

X pointed to a window. He crossed the room quickly and opened it. Nick and Phoebe looked out at the narrow stone balcony. Xander reached for Phoebe, as if to help her, but she backed away, shaking her head. “I’m afraid of heights. Really afraid.”

“Out here, now,” X insisted, “go, go go!”

Phoebe balked, “I can’t.”

Nick scrambled out the waist-high window and onto the balcony. He turned back to face Phoebe and said, “Come on,” in a commanding voice. He held out his hand to her and she felt herself gravitating toward him. “Close your eyes,” he barked.

Their roles were suddenly reversed. Phoebe couldn’t bear to climb out the window, but then she imagined herself being thrown from it instead when they were caught by whoever was on their way up. That was the extra motivation she needed to move.
