The dog's howls sliced through her heart as she climbed into the cab. Would she ever see Ben or Todd again? After the first few miles, the driver gave up all attempts at small talk. Suzy wasn't in the mood. The driver had called ahead, so Lacey was already waiting outside the Commodore when the car pulled up. Suzy threw herself into her friend's arms. “Are you okay?” Lacey said. “No, not really.” “Let's go up to the penthouse. Raw and Carol are there.” Suzy pulled away. “Have you heard from Todd? Is he okay?” “We haven't heard anything.” “We have to call the police.” “Let's get upstairs first.” “Was it the same men from the hotel?” Raw asked, as soon as Lacey and Suzy stepped out of the lift. “Let us get inside first” Lacey pushed past him, and led Suzy to one of the leather sofas. “Do you want anything to eat or drink?” “I'm okay,” Suzy said. “I didn't see who took Todd. I was at the village store. All I saw was the car that took him away.”
