‘Who knew Frost had dated a certified nerd?’ Bryant asked as he programmed the satnav for the Seekers Inc headquarters.

‘Pretty big news she dated at all,’ Kim said, turning to look out of the window. And it was a relationship that had left a mark on the reporter. Although they weren’t friends, Kim knew the woman well enough to tell when she was bristling. She hadn’t even wanted to say the man’s name, but she’d been sure that Ryan Douglas was capable of setting up this and maybe more.

She pushed the thought aside and settled in for the journey while sifting through the doubts in her head.

Was she overreacting to what could be a hoax at Frost’s expense by an ex-boyfriend?

Whenever she brought that thought to the front of her mind, her gut reacted instantly that it wasn’t the case. This wasn’t something she’d ever encountered before. She and her team were now on a mission to try and prevent people getting hurt. Their involvement normally came on the other side and the person was already hurt – or worse, dead.

Was she wasting her time travelling to Seekers Inc? What exactly were they going to be able to tell her? A small voice assured her they could tell her more than she knew now. They specialised in this kind of game, and now they had a direct link between the site and Frost.

They had already been told this was going to last for thirty-six hours, so she knew they only had the first clue.

She had no idea what happened if they didn’t solve it in time, and she just hoped the team would have some answers for her soon.
