Adele:
For a solid two minutes, I just stared at the screen, completely dazed, trying to make sense of how I hadn’t heard a single call ring. The phone hadn’t been on silent… had it?
I shook off the thought and got to my feet, using the flashlight to guide me to the light switch. I flicked it on.
Still confused and now growing increasingly uneasy, I walked to the office door, half expecting it to creak open like always. But when I turned the handle—
It didn’t budge.
I froze.
I tried again. Turn. Pull. Push. Nothing.
Locked.
My heart leapt into my throat.
No. No way.
There was no freaking way I had been locked inside this mall.
Sure, I knew the entire place usually shut down by 9 PM. But how could they close up without checking the offices first? Why hadn’t Anna come to wake me
