Chapter 69

THE DETECTIVE ORDERS US to vacate the apartment, and get ourselves to the station immediately. Alessandra packs up her computer. I grab my coat and my keys. As we leave the studio apartment and head out onto the stair landing, I must resist the urge to grab a kitchen knife and begin making a search of the entire building. But I know that would be foolish and dangerous. It could also result in getting Grace killed.

We make our way down the stairs to the first floor, all the time feeling as though we are being watched. And my guess is that we are being watched.

Out the front door onto the cobbles, we begin the short trek to the station house, and what I pray will be the plan to rescue my Grace.
