Chapter 96: Throwing Stones

Cassie woke with a heart attack to the sound of her phone ringing. She leapt from bed, nabbed it, and put it to her ear. Her heart raced as she wobbled on sleepy legs.

"Cassie, it's me," Daniel said. "Where are you guys?"

"We checked into the Hilton late." Pulling her phone back from her ear, she checked the time. It was almost one in the afternoon. She yawned and caught sight of Randy seated at the desk, staring at his laptop.

"We need to talk," Daniel said.

"Yeah, I know, you said so in." she cut herself off before saying the rest so Randy wouldn't hear it.

"I mean all of us. You, me, and Randy."

"OK. Well."

"What's up?" Randy said turning to the conversation.

"Daniel wants a meet-up," she said.

"Tell him to meet us here, tonight around eight," Randy said.

Cassie relayed the message to Daniel and disconnected, feeling sluggish and uneasy all at once. What did Daniel need to talk to them both about?
