Marlon Marshall was lying there playing on his phone, the sound of incoming messages chiming nonstop.
Time ticked by. He glanced over at Jean Grant, and after making sure she was fast asleep, he got dressed again and left.
Jean Grant picked up her laptop, but a quick check confirmed the guest room was empty.
She hurried to get dressed as well. Walking on the floor in just her socks, she made no sound at all.
Down the stairs, at the entrance to the living room, she saw their figures disappear through the front door.
She quickly put on her shoes and followed them to the front door. She watched Marlon Marshall drive away with Carol Young. Jean Grant's eyes darkened, and she immediately got into her own Porsche.
She trailed behind them, not daring to get too close. Late at night, there were few cars on the road, so even from a distance, she could clearly see them.
The car arrived at the Young family's apartment building, and they quickly headed inside.
