Nora Scott dialed three times in a row, but it was the same each time.

Pedro Langley generally didn't ignore her calls, even if he was on a business trip or in a meeting. When he was busy, he always remembered to inform Nora ahead of time.

As soon as she pushed open the door—
A streak of light hit her face.
