Jessica's car stopped in front of Mina's apartment complex, and Mina nervously looked out of the window. She had already given Jessica her boss's phone, and the woman promised to send it back with James in the morning.
"Have you eaten?" Mina asked Jessica, who she knew had been waiting on her all day.
"I have," Jessica replied. Mina continued to make small talk, trying to stall for time but Jessica hurried the truth out of her.
"Do you want me to walk you inside?" The woman asked and Mina nodded vigorously. Jessica parked her car, and the two women made their way into the building. Once inside the apartment, Jessica hit Mina with the question she had been wanting to ask all day.
"Mina, you slept with something big against the door. Why?" Jessica asked, she heard the furniture being moved when she came to pick up her charge up for work. She had wanted to ask right away, but the woman was visibly shaken, and it made Jessica think twice.
