Sunset Park, Elgin, Saturday morning
Katya woke up before the others to use the washroom. She wondered if Joe Bulova was still around. She'd heard the key turn in the door once, but he only cracked it slightly, and she never saw his face. She left the door to 2023 slightly open so she could get back in, not having the key.
The house was dark from the shades being pulled down, but she could just make out that the instructor was asleep on her couch. She felt a little creeped out and uneasy about this.
After using the bathroom, she noticed the light on her tablet blinking. She checked the message left there in muted audio mode and saw a panicked Cheryl projected in front of her. She read the subtitled display:
"Katya, we have reason to believe you and the others are in imminent danger. Do not let Joe Bulova into your house. We think he's the traitor. Stay far away from him. We are on our way...Transmission ended."
