Claire Sinclair frowned. Without giving it much thought, she headed back to the main hall.
The path back took her through a long hallway. Just as she was about halfway down, with a sudden SNAP, the power went out!
The world was instantly plunged into pitch-black darkness, so dark you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face.
After a moment of panic, Claire quickly pulled her phone from her pocket and turned on its flashlight.
The next second, she saw a dark figure dash into the emergency exit.
'So fast!'
'Was that a person or a ghost?'
Claire felt a sudden chill run down her spine. Not daring to linger, she quickened her pace back toward the hall.
Fortunately, after she had taken only a few more steps, the hotel's power came back on.
Before Claire had even reached the hall's entrance, she saw Adrian Quincy hurrying toward her. He pulled her into an emotional embrace. "Claire, are you all right?"
