Rachael was waiting outside for the man to come back when her phone buzzed, and she got a text message from him instead.
'The money you gave me is all wet. It will take me a while to get them dry. So don't wait for me. When I am finished with this, I will head out
Rachael read his text with a frown on her face and turned to walk away, not realizing that James was holding the man captive in the bathroom.
James was quite acquainted with the manager, as the hotel belonged to one of his friends, so it did not take him long to enlist the help of the staff.
"Sir, that madam had left." A staff member informed James of Rachael's departure right away.
James nodded, and the man left, leaving James and the captive alone.

Inside the room, Abby waited for James, who appeared shortly after.
"Did he say something?" she asked, gazing expectantly at James, who nodded in response.
