Last night, when Joseph Thompson returned from City G and saw the red Touareg parked in its original spot, he couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
Jaylene's back, and her car is still here, so she probably hasn't left yet.
Thinking this way, he didn't even care that he hadn't eaten dinner yet as he headed straight for the elevator after getting out of his car.
As long as she's still upstairs, he thought, it would be fine. He didn't have a good conversation with her last night, and today she left early in the morning. Tonight, he had to talk to her properly.
However, when he arrived home and opened the door, he found the place empty. He couldn't find any trace of Jaylene, no matter where he looked.
Her car was downstairs, so where could she have gone?
Moreover, the bag he'd grabbed from her this morning was still beside the sofa, untouched. This was a clear sign…
