I opened Malcolm’s thread and dropped my location.

“Fuck it. I’m not going to leave this situation without someone getting hurt,” I said to myself before I scanned the QR code for the menu.
Resting on the bed with only a robe, I flipped through the channels. Mr. McKnight put several things on my mind. A few times I’ve toyed with calling Anissa, coming clean. I had a head start on her if she wanted to beat my ass.
Two knocks came at the door, and I exhaled. It took room service forever to bring my dinner. Right now, I could go for a bottle of wine as I anticipated Malcolm’s arrival. He didn’t text back, but he read the message. I’m sure he will make a grand appearance soon. Standing on my tiptoes, I peeped through the hole and exhaled.
