Cleo came late that afternoon when Nicole was still sleeping. Ethan had changed into some black jeans and a nice black silk shirt. Right before she had arrived he'd just gotten out the shower so his hair was still wet.
She seemed strangely alarmed at his disheveled appearance as she came in the front room. When she didn't see Nicole on the couch she became alarmed.
"She's up in the guest room," he assured her.
"I would like to see her."
He didn't feel very comfortable with letting her see the rest of the house. The front room was specially modified to block others from seeing what the rest of the house contained. It wasn't he didn't trust Cleo; he just knew the neighborhood he was in and couldn't go around showing off what kind of money he was investing into the home. Why he chose this side of town was only one reason - Nicole. In the end, he surmised it had to do with wanting to be closer to her. He had planned to sell the property once he had finished his revenge against Lynne, but now his plans were definitely going awry. How could he not care that something like this had happened to Nicole?
"Now, Mr. Black or I really will call the police."
"She's sleeping," he said stiffly.
"I don't care if she's dead. I want to see her."
