If Jeffrey was going to break the rules, he might as well go all the way! That was the motto of the day for Jeffrey as he pocketed his phone, his face betraying no emotion. He casually glanced towards the restroom, silently keeping track of time.
He craved to give Karen space, to trust her completely, but he couldn't shake off the nagging doubt.
As soon as Karen slipped into the restroom, she frantically searched for an escape. The place was deserted. She checked the women's side, then dashed to check the men's. Her heart sank as she realized the only exit was the window opposite the entrance.
She clenched her jaw, eyeing the window with determination.
That was her only shot! Time was running out, and she knew Jeffrey would come looking if she took too long.
Karen scrambled to find a rickety chair, gave it a shake to ensure it could hold her weight, and dragged it beneath the window.
Just as she was about to climb, footsteps echoed from outside the restroom! Her heart leapt into her throat, and she darted into a stall.
After a moment, Karen realized it wasn't Jeffrey; the newcomer didn't call out for her or search around. Instead, the person headed straight into the restroom.
Tentatively, Karen knocked on the stall door and whispered, "Hello?" "Who's there?" A woman's voice responded.
Karen hurried over, "Hi, do you work here? Could I maybe borrow your phone for a quick call?" There was a pause, then the woman said, "Sure, but wait till I'm done." "Okay!" It wasn't like Karen could rush her-the woman was in the middle of her business, after all.
Anxiously, Karen kept an eye on the door, hoping to get through to Dorothy or her parents, anyone who could help.
Finally, the woman came out of the stall.
"Here you go." She handed Karen the phone.
"Thank you so much!" Grasping it like a lifeline, Karen immediately started dialing Dorothy's number.
This could be the break she needed; getting Everett to rein in Jeffrey would be a game-changer.
