Andrew straightened. "What happened?"
"It's Katherine." Samuel's voice sounded strained. "She is missing."
The words brought the conversation in the study to an abrupt halt. Daniel looked up, while Owen exchanged a startled glance with Ben.
"What do you mean she is missing?" Andrew asked, his voice sharpening.
"She was at the apartment when I left this morning. I came back a little while ago and she was gone."
"Did she leave a message?"
"No, her belongings are still here but her phone is switched off." Samuel paused, and when he spoke again, the strain in his voice was unmistakable. "I have already checked with the men watching the building. She left alone from the back door and nobody knows where she went."
Andrew's expression darkened. "When was she last seen?"
"About an hour ago."
Andrew glanced at Ben, who had been listening closely enough to understand what was happening.
"Did you check whether she contacted anyone before leaving?" Andrew asked.
