Alfred Garland's hand was always touching his phone, ever ready for Nathalie Quinlan to call him. Hearing the words, he raised his eyes: "She went out."
"Went out?" Sadam Vinson wasn't so carefree now, straightening his body, similarly ill at ease to Alfred Garland: "Where did she go? By herself? Who was looking for her just now? The voice I heard didn't sound like Mr. Wafford and the others."
"No..." Alfred Garland shook his head, his voice flat and straightforward: "Ms. Quinlan is just outside in the corridor, she said she'll be back soon."
Amadeus Yancey was sitting at an angle that made it difficult to see, unlike the rest of them who didn't notice the visitor, but he saw.
Charles Quarles.
Accompanying Charles Quarles was Evelyn Quarles.
