As she placed it on the desk, her eyes landed on a notebook. Open. Not hidden. Just sitting there. A list filled one page. Names. Phone numbers. Exhibition dates. Routine gallery information. Then one line caught her attention. Succession Planning Jessica froze. Immediately. The words felt strange. Wrong. Too official. Too final. She looked away. Then back again. The notebook remained there. Open. Waiting. Jessica swallowed. The room suddenly felt smaller. For several moments she simply stood staring. Then she closed the notebook gently. And left.

Then, with a small awkward bow: “I’m Jessa.” Her voice was light, almost musical despite the starkness of the hall. She was about my age - maybe a year older - nineteen. She had soft brown hair tied back with a fraying ribbon, clothes worn but clean, and sturdy work shoes that looked like they’d survived years of labour. There was something tired in her eyes… …but something hopeful, too. “I’m supposed to help you today,” she continued, shifting the basket in her hands. “Show you the quarters, the hall, and… um… anything else you need.”

“You should worry more about the debts you all owe me.” A collective groan filled the room. “Oh no,” Lance muttered. Then Harumi pulled out the thing everyone feared more than confrontation. His little pink notebook covered in Teletubbies stickers. “Ah, crap!” Lance shouted, grabbing his cake like a shield. “The demon Teletubbies accountant is here again!”

But before I could reach it, a strange sensation crept over me. Something warm trickled down my nose, sliding toward my lips. I inhaled sharply—Blood. My vision swam, the room spinning violently. My legs buckled beneath me, and I collapsed onto the cold, hard floor. I fought to keep my eyes open, but my body betrayed me. My limbs felt heavy and my consciousness slipped away. Slowly, the suffocating pull of darkness swallowed me whole. But, not before I saw the door go ajar. *** "Jessica... oh Jessica, where are you hiding?"

He slowly takes off her dress and they make passionate love. The sun's glare wakes Jessica up from her sleep, she looks over to the other side of the bed to find it empty "Typical" she says to herself in a disappointed tone. She gets out of bed and walks over to the bathroom as she walks past her bed she sees Roger laying naked on the floor next to the bed and he is covered in blood. "Aaaaagh!!!"

I know you are responsible. As darkness was falling upon the earth. Jennifer sits across the street from Lillie’s house, waiting for her to leave. As soon as she left, Jennifer walked on the porch and sprinkled the ashes as instructed by Ellen. She walked back to her car and returned home. Minutes later, Lillie’s house is engulfed in fire.

Looks like the team Reed was vouching for didn't make it tonight. When we met with the pack, Jess thrusted a novel into my hands. One glance at the cover told me all I needed to know about the book. I grinned sheepishly as she pulled me away. Adult novels like this was a perfect distraction. I followed her quick steps up the stairs to a room filled with other girls in the pack. On seeing Claire, I immediately apologized to her. "It's cool," she reassured and returned to her laptop, tapping away at the keys.

Emma later went upstairs to her brother's room. James' room was filled with things that he had insisted on carrying from Mina's place. He adores his things and wishes to take them with him wherever he goes. Emma faked a gasp seeing the room. On the bed, the blankets were covered by plushies and coloring books while color packs were laid on the nightstand unevenly. Mina had spoiled him a lot. Emma began to organize her brother's belongings. She placed the plushies on the bed, and neatly stacked the coloring books and packs on the nightstand. When she finished, she stood back and felt a warm wave of nostalgia wash over her.

"Don't be in such a rush, Ms. Landon. Before that, I have something that I want you to see." Jessica looked doubtfully at Grace, and for some reason, her heart skipped a beat. A sense of uneasiness rose up in her, and she looked guardedly at Grace. "What do you want to show me?" Grace slowly took out a sketchbook from her pocket. "It isn't anything much. Just a sketchbook." Jessica looked at the sketchbook, but she didn't seem to recognize it at all. She asked perplexedly, "What is this?"
