"What do they want?" Shauna asked, her voice filled with a mix of frustration and worry.

Taissa took a long drag from her cigarette, exhaling slowly before answering. "50 grand in cash to keep their mouth shut. We're not sure exactly what they know, but..." She scoffed, shaking her head. "I sure as hell don't want to find out."

Shauna looked between Taissa and Natalie, her expression one of disbelief. "You both got one?"

Natalie nodded. "Misty did, too."

A sudden knock on the door made them all freeze. Taissa's eyes narrowed as she turned to Natalie. "Were you expecting someone?"

Natalie shook her head, her hand instinctively reaching for the knife she had stashed in a drawer. "No."

She moved cautiously toward the door, gripping the knife tightly, ready to pry it open and threaten whoever was on the other side.

A familiar voice echoed through the door. "Misty? Hellooo?"

They all froze, recognizing the voice instantly.

The voice continued, growing more impatient. "Goddammit, Misty, if this is a prank, I swear to God..."

Natalie's heart raced as she opened the door, knife still in hand, to see Evelyn standing there. She looked just as Natalie remembered her—familiar, comforting, and all too real.

"Evelyn?" Natalie whispered, her grip on the knife loosening as she stared at the woman. 

Evelyn's eyes softened for a moment, a flicker of relief crossing her face. But then her brow furrowed as realization dawned. She had been played by Misty.

Evelyn cursed in French, her voice dripping with irritation. "I'm gonna kill that little noodlehead," she muttered under her breath, turning to walk away.

Before she could take more than a step, Natalie rushed forward and grabbed her arm. "Wait!"

Evelyn stopped, her eyes blazing with anger. "Of course, you'd be a part of this." she snapped, her frustration evident.

Natalie held up her hands in a placating gesture, trying to calm her down. "Evelyn, please, just listen. We didn't know she'd do this."

Evelyn rolled her eyes, her expression a mixture of annoyance and frustration. "Yeah, sure," she muttered sarcastically before turning on her heel and walking briskly away.
