“Alec?” Something about the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn’t put his finger on why. The handle rattled, but the door didn’t open. “You have to come out. It’s locked to me.”

“Rowan Bouchard.” The name meant nothing. “Martin sent me to get you out of here.”

That was impossible. Martin had only discovered where he was seconds ago.

When Alec didn’t answer right away, Rowan added, “You’re in danger here. I don’t know why, but I do know that Martin didn’t have time for you to keep on asking questions. That’s why he sent me. It’s okay that you’re confused, but I’m the real deal.”
