"Yes," she explained, "I went to him after it happened, because.. it wasn't just me. There was another woman walking me home when it happened and, and I.. wasn't sure what I needed to do." James offered that explanation with the vague realization that she was trying to placate Lotte's worry, or any hurt over not telling her about this until the day after.
"And, of course, I trust you." She vehemently assured that, reaching out for one of Lotte's hands with a firm, convincing grip. "I would just hate to tell you this and have something happen to you because of it. But I want you to know, it was the girl in 1007 that was behind what happened to me. She sent two men after me, and Ella from 905 happened to be there in the wrong place at the wrong time, and got hurt as well."
