Hi Mei,

This will be quick. I had a personal emergency so I won’t be at work tomorrow. In fact I don’t know how long I might be away and I’m not sure if I’ll have wifi. I have personal time and will be taking it.

I’ve already contacted admin.

Don’t worry about me, it’s just something I have to take care of. I’ll get in touch soon.

Best, Honor

It read perfectly normal but it wasn’t. “I didn’t write that,” she said.

Matt simply looked at her. Luke’s gaze into the camera was unwavering.

“I won’t insult your intelligence by asking — are you sure.” His voice was flat.

“Thanks. And I’m sure. In emails to friends I never use a comma after the greeting, just put a dash. In emails to friends I take a less formal tone. And with Mei I sign myself ‘Red’. It’s an inside joke.”

Matt looked at her hair. She shook her head. “It has nothing to do with my hair color. I told her once I couldn’t stand to be in debt. All my life my father alternated being rich with drowning in debt. I have an allergy to personal debt. When I said I never wanted to be in the red, she laughed and said she’d call me Red. And that’s how I sign myself with her. Whoever sent that email isn’t me. I’m surprised she didn’t notice it was odd.”

“But it did the trick,” Matt growled. “The hospital administration might be pissed that you disappeared but they’re not worried, because they received an email, too. No one would have contacted the police.”

Honor couldn’t answer that. Her throat just seized up. “God.” She shivered, suddenly chilled.

With each word, she had a clearer understanding of what she was up against. Not just a group of men who’d abducted her and kept her prisoner. But some kind of conspiracy. Something planned and carried out. Some kind of organization with weight and heft.

“But … but why?” she whispered. “Why me? Why any of this?”

Matt’s heavy arm tightened around her shoulders. “That’s what we’ll find out. Right?” His eyes lifted to the screen.

It was exactly as if Luke Reynolds were in the room with them. His tired green eyes narrowed. “Better believe it,” he said and the screen winked off.
