103. In Slow Motion
Dominic
I go over to greet some acquaintances while Susy returns from the bathroom. Everything seems to be going smoothly until my phone vibrates in my pocket. I answer without paying much attention at first, but the voice on the other end makes me frown instantly.
"Sir, I’ve just been informed that the event service van left a few minutes ago… but the service in the hall hasn’t ended yet. Were you notified about this?"
My muscles tense. The alarm goes off in my mind. What do you mean it’s gone? All the employees are still inside, working. No, this doesn’t make sense.
"No. No one told me anything." My tone is dry, sharp.
At that moment, Dylan hurries over, his face distraught.
"Dominic… Where’s Susy?"
My heart stops for a moment. Something is not right.
We ran
