"Where do we meet?" Chris asked.
"The usual place! Hurry up!" Anne shouted over the phone. "I want to see you within half an hour. Otherwise, you'll suffer consequences yourself!"
With that, she hung up.
Chris sat silently in the car for a while, then gave the driver the address of a villa and told him to reroute.
More than half an hour later, the cab arrived outside a lakeside villa on the outskirts. After paying, he got out and walked a quarter mile to the villa. He then entered the villa's access code and pushed the door open.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, Anne stormed over from the floor-to-ceiling window. Just like last time, she raised her hand, intending to slap him.
But Chris caught her wrist midair and shoved her aside. With little effort, he sent her sprawling onto the carpet.
His rough handling only made Anne more hysterical.
She forced herself up from the floor and lunged at him like a madwoman, pounding her fists against him before screaming at him at the top of her lungs.
"Didn't we agree to stick to the plan? Why did you jump out halfway to save her? What are you playing at? I finally found a chance to get rid of her. Why did you back out? Why?"
Chris was fed up with Anne. He turned his face away and answered flatly, without emotion. "She'd already been bitten. The goal was achieved. Going in to save her at that point wouldn't raise suspicion."
"Couldn't you have come out later? Why couldn't you wait until she was half-dead before showing up?"
