Chapter 138 - The Truth About Death

Alex had a hard time finding her way to sleep that night. Even though she felt extremely exhausted, her eyes just wouldn't fall shut, no matter how hard she tried. Her thoughts kept circling in her head like vultures over a dying zebra. The fact that she is lying on the couch of a woman she's never met before isn't helping either. Normally Alex would have never followed a random stranger into their apartment but there was something about the woman that made her trust her. Maybe it was the tone of her voice. Or maybe the nervousness in her eyes that she tried to cover up with a smile. Or maybe it was the fact that Alex would rather take the risk than having to call her dad, asking him to pick her up. Or maybe, just maybe, it was fate.
