Episode 3. THE SECRET RECORDING

I pressed my ear against the door.

 

Inside, the mysterious woman placed a black folder and a recording device on the table. “Emily deserves to know where the money went,” she said. Money? What money?

Daniel’s voice sounded nervous. “You promised you wouldn’t involve her.” Confused and frightened, I opened the recording app on my phone and captured their voices.

Suddenly, a hotel employee appeared in the hallway. “Ma’am, are you looking for someone?” I froze. Inside the room, the conversation stopped.

Silence. Then footsteps. My heart nearly stopped as I watched the doorknob slowly begin to turn. And I had nowhere to hide.
