In the suite, the knocking continued.
Thud, thud, thud...
Nerella's expression turned incredibly strange as she peered through the peephole and saw nothing but emptiness.
In the two opposite suites lived Bishop Ruth and the driver, Corelle.

With these words, she turned the knob and flung the door open.
Outside, there was no one.
In the hallway, the lights were still on.
The sounds of the knocking ceased abruptly.
"What is going on?"
