Ashley Grant was utterly disoriented, her mind in a complete fog...
As she walked, her phone rang, and she answered it without thinking.
"Hello...?"
"Where the fuck have you been?!"
Lucy Locke's furious voice came through the receiver. She said urgently, "Ashley, we've been set up. The evidence we submitted wasn't the original file. Ryan Linton has been detained... This time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
Ashley Grant's mind was just a jumble of garbled code; she couldn't sort out a single thought.
'Set up... We've been set up...'
'Who was it?'
'What was her goal in doing this?'
"Afraid of what...?" Ashley Grant asked, barely aware of what she was saying.
