âAre you sure no one followed us? I swear I heard footsteps down the hall on the other side,â said Mia.
âI checked, double-checked, and triple-checked. The hallway cameras were facing the other way, too. We donât want anyone knowing we were here. Got it?â
Mia gulped, nodding. I took the key out of my Burberry trench coat pocket, slipped it in the keyhole and turned it slightly. I felt the little click and my hand wrapped around the door handle. The subtle creak of the hinges scared me, but I opened it up to a stuffy apartment that looked like it hadnât been touched in months. I fumbled for the light switch, and to my surprise, the place was perfectly furnished. It looked like someone took their time decorating the place, not like it had been staged for a showing. My heart practically skipped a beat when I began recognizing the backgrounds of all of Jadeâs videos. I never really gave much thought to where sheâd filmed them, but now I knew.
âSo this is where sheâs been taking the internet by storm, huh?â
âI guess so.â
We took a quick glance around before my cell phone started to ring in my pocket. I fished it out, glancing down at the screen to see that it was Philip calling. My heart nearly leaped right out of my chest before it connected.
âPhilip? Itâs late. Is everything okay?â
âIâve been doing you a favor, Didi. I owe you one after that last showing fiasco. Look, I couldnât find a name, but I did find out that the investor that owns the unit is coming down there tonight. He should be there any minute. You could try to go get a good look at him. Though, just donât get yourself in trouble, okay?â
âAh, okay. Thank you so much, Philip! Gotta go!â
I hung up the phone quickly, grabbing Mia by the arm and I hauled her out of there. I locked the door quickly, and she stared back at me confused.
âWe need to get out of here. Now!â I yelled at her.
We heard the elevator ding! and we bolted straight for the stairwell. We managed to get down to the ninth floor before anyone saw us, and thatâs when I filled Mia in on what was happening.
âWe have to go back up and see who it is! He might know - â
âStop right there. Look, weâll take what we know to the cops, but Iâm not waltzing back up there with my job on the line. Neither are you because someone will figure out Iâm involved. Weâll go to the cops tomorrow morning. Let them handle it from here.â
Mia nodded. We parted ways, and I was somehow still afraid that someone knew what weâd been up to.
