She swallowed hard before responding. This was her husband; she would need his protection. "The mirror in the washrooms had words on it. They appeared in the fog when the lights flickered."
"What words?"
"'Come alone or everyone dies.'"
The silence that followed was deep and absolute. Huo Ting Cheng didn't move for a long time. When he finally did, it was to reach out, his fingers brushing her chin up so she had to meet his eyes.
