When Charlie awoke again, it was already morning. Light streamed in through the open curtains, bathing the whole room in a golden glow.

Beside her, pages upon pages of scribbled notes awaited. All this would help her talk to James about her work. She wasn't sure of his schedule today. With a bit of luck, they could have lunch again. Then she'd come clean and explain her plan to help their cause. Once that was done, perhaps she could get on an afternoon flight home so perhaps she could catch Penderton before he went home for the day and grovel her way back into work.

Charlie got up and immediately went in for a shower. Then she tossed her stuff into her messenger bag and made sure none of her belongings were left around the room. If he wanted to meet soon, she was ready to check out already.

Once everything was done, she sat down on the bed and took a deep breath before dialing his number. She let it ring, but there was no answer. The voice mail picked up after a while.

Fine. Perhaps he was busy. She hung up without leaving a message and tapped out a text instead.

Call me when you see this - Charlie

And then she waited.

Nothing. Was something wrong?

She tried calling again, but the same thing happened.

A growing sense of unease descended over her, which she tried to brush away as paranoia. Finally, she switched on the TV to provide some distraction.

The news coverage was mostly the same; repeats of the New Alliance reveal, the hate speech, Adrian Blacke's appearance. The only new thing Charlie saw was an appearance by some university professor who spoke about anthropological evidence of shifters in other cultures. He seemed flustered, as though he didn't want to be on TV at all.

An hour or so later, Charlie couldn't stand waiting around the room anymore. The endless repeats of the same news over and over grated at her. Plus, she'd missed the breakfast buffet and had started to get hungry.

So she picked up her things and made her way towards a quaint little cafe near the hotel. Despite being in a much larger city than what she was used to, this cafe didn't feel strange at all. She watched the world go by from her window seat.

People in suits, rushing to get to work while balancing takeaway cups of coffee and pastries or sandwiches in their hands. There was a bus stop outside, so it was only when one of those red double-decker buses arrived that Charlie could even tell she was in London and not Edinburgh.

A large latte, a danish pastry and a whole lot of people watching later, her phone rang, nearly causing her to jump out of her seat.

It wasn't James, though.

"Hello, Ella," Charlie answered.

"You sound disappointed! Were you expecting someone else to call?" Ella teased.

"Nevermind. I've not had much sleep," Charlie lied.

There was a pause.

"Anyway, I just wanted to check in to see how things were going..."

Charlie took a deep breath.
