565 Their Lullaby

Katherine saw that Emma was heading towards the ladies' room. She hurriedly went after her and warned the men from Maverick Security to keep their distance—after all, they were all men. 

Entering the posh restroom, she scanned from left to right as she searched for her friend. With marble tiles and soft ambiance lighting, the ladies' room felt like a spa. There was a sofa in one corner and huge mirrors everywhere. 

Katherine had to check each cubicle to look for Emma. There were two cubicles occupied, and one of them just opened, and an older woman came out. She politely smiled at the other and continued to the end of the stalls where she thought Emma was hiding. 

"Ems?" she called. She could hear sniffles from outside. "I know you're in there. Can we talk?"

Silence.

"Please open…" Katherine knocked. "I really need to pee. If you don't open for me, I'll pee on the floor."
