Excerpt from Chapter 1:
A sudden loud noise from inside the suite made me shrink back. The floor under my feet seemed to lurch up before all went quiet again.
Unsure what to do next, I went to lean my ear against the door, only to jump back again—the surface proved to be too hot to touch.
Fire!
Alarm shot through my brain, and I yanked my walkie-talkie from on top of the stack of clean towels then tossed it back on the cart when nothing but static came out of the damn device. My cell phone was downstairs, in my locker, along with the rest of my stuff.
It wouldn’t take long for this old building to go up in flames. The best was to get out as soon as possible. I turned toward the stairs with the intention to pull the fire alarm on my way down.
A deep groan reached me through the door of the suite. The sound was followed by more noise and cursing. Someone was definitely inside that room . . .
“You need to get out!” I hammered on the door with the toe of my shoe, not willing to risk burning my knuckles.
My worry was rapidly turning to panic, as no one replied and nobody exited the room. What if they were trapped? Or hurt, unable to move?
Quickly sliding my key through the slot, I wrapped my apron around my hand before pressing the handle down then opened the door while hiding behind it.
No fire burst out, though. There was no smell of smoke in the air. Carefully, I peeked from around the door inside the suite.
Semi-darkness greeted me. All lights were off, and the curtains had been drawn close on the large bay window. The interior of the spacious living room was illuminated by whatever daylight came through a perfectly round hole that seemed to have been cut out through the glass as well as the curtains on the window. Green-and-yellow lights curled and sparkled along the edge of the cut-out.
“What is that?” I mumbled, stepping into the suite. There was no sight of fire or smell of smoke inside, either.
“Fuck me!” A deep voice sounded right behind me, making me jump. “Who the hell are you?”
“April,” I mumbled, cautiously watching a dark, menacing figure by the wall rise to his feet. “I thought there was a fire . . .”
Dressed in a thin, black coat that reached his knees, he drew the hood low over his face, then yanked the silk scarf up over his nose and mouth, before I had a chance to see his face.
“No fire. And why April?” His deep, rumbly voice now came muffled by the silk of the scarf.
“I’m April,” I clarified. “It’s my name. I work here.”
