You might put yourself at risk and still not find her. I'll hang up now and contact someone to track Camille's location. Stay where you are—I'll send someone to pick you up." "Okay, Reece," Carrie murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Hearing her compliance, Reece exhaled in relief. Then, he hung up, already moving into action.
Carrie couldn't stand idly waiting, so she quickly packed her things and rushed downstairs.

Just as she stepped out of the building and was about to call for an update, a light purple Maserati pulled up in front of her. The convertible top was up, and in the driver's seat was Marina.
Before Carrie could say anything, Marina spoke first. "Reece called my brother, and I overheard. I've been to the place where your friend is. I know a shortcut. I'll take you there first.” Hearing this, Carrie immediately opened the passenger door and got in. As she fastened her seatbelt, she quickly thanked Marina. “Thank you for your and your brother's help." Updated stories galMarina hit the gas pedal, then turned to glance at Carrie, her tone playful. "You really don't treatlike... like a friend. Didn't I tell you that you can ctoor my brother anytwhen the Morrisons aren't around?" She had almost said cousin-in-law but stopped herself at the last moment. A hint of shyness flashed across her face.
Carrie, preoccupied with Camille's disappearance, didn't notice Marina's hesitation.
"Where is Camille? What's the situation now?" she asked anxiously.
Marina kept her eyes on the road, scanning the traffic ahead. "Her phone's last location was at a private club. My brother hasn't gotten all the details yet, but as soon as I heard their call, I cstraight to pick you up. I've been there before. It's not a dangerous place. Maybe her phone just died." Marina had met Camille a few times. She knew that Camille was a social butterfly, someone who enjoyed the nightlife. For such a party girl to go to a private club after work wasn't a big deal.

She just had to drive Carrie to the club. No big deal.
Carrie, however, remained tense, her grip tightening around her phone. She wasn't convinced Camille's phone had simply run out of battery. Something was wrong. She stared out the window at the blurred city lights, silently praying Camille was safe.
Less than thirty minutes later, the car pulled up behind an old residential area. Marina parked in front of am inconspicuous iron gate. Beyond the Ε gate, through the narrow gaps in the metal bars, Carrie could see several detached villas inside. They were old, their architecture outdated. A faint sense of eeriness hung in the air.
Marina turned off the engine and gestured toward the gate with hen chin. "We're here. This is it. I'll take you in now-" Before she could finish her sentence, Carrie's phone rang.
