1:00 PM
Lenora struggled to concentrate on the story at hand. She couldn't get her mind of Jamie, why did he come to her? This was certainly a first, not to mention that kiss, wow. The ghost of his touch still lingered on her lips, it was distracting. And as much as she wanted to focus on the reason why he was in such a bad position, she couldn't deny the spark of desire he had awakened. How could he just leave? He did this to her and he just left? If he knew what was good for him he'll be back to pick her up by six and finish what he stared.
"Hey, Lenora, it's go time. What are you doing standing over there?" The one of the crewmen yelled at her.
She snapped out of her thoughts, shaking off every thought of Jamie. Grabbing the mic she stood in front of the camera and began to describe the scene into the camera.
After several takes she finally managed one that didn't have several mistakes. "What happened today Lenora?" The camera guy asked with a tsk.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a little distracted I guess. That's a wrap right?" She asked.
"Yeah, we'll finally be able to head back, no thanks to you." The crewmen from earlier sassed.
Lenora rolled her eyes at him, "hey, you shouldn't make it more obvious than it already is, hmm? Aren't you tried of sitting at a desk all day? That stomach isn't going anywhere if you don't get off that fat ass and do some walking." She spat.
"What did you say?" He hissed. Lenora phone buzzed in her pocket and she held her index finger up to stop the man talking as she pulled out her phone to read the text.

The man huffed incredulously, who did she think she was? With that attitude?
'There's a woman with a dark brown bob in jeans and a white shirt. She wearing black stilettos and carrying an odd bag. You have to find her she's Jessie Marin!'
Lenora's eyes widened at the text, should she trust it? Well it was from Krystal she would know Jessie Marin right? Her eyes began to roam through the crowd and as the text said her gaze landed on a woman with the the same description. She began to walk towards the woman.
"Lenora? Lenora! Where are you going?" The camera man yelled behind her, but she couldn't spare him an explanation right now.
Before she could catch up with the woman she began to run, shit! And her luck when Jamie seemed to appear right in front of her, at that very moment.
"Lenora?"
"Jamie, quick that's was Jessie Marin!" She snapped.
"What?"
"There that woman, she's Jessie Marin! You have to catch her!" She yelled. And they began to run after her but Jamie was much faster to he took the lead.
Damn that woman could run, and in those heels? Wow, she has to admit even she wasn't that impressive. There was a lot of gap between the woman and Jamie, and a lot of gap between Jamie and herself. So it took a while for her to get to the building she saw Jamie run into.
The first person she saw was Krystal, bent over and panting heavily. "Where is she?" Lenora asked, also out of breath.
"I'm not sure but she must be in here somewhere. Your cop boyfriend is looking on the upper floors, let take the rooms on the ground floors okay?" She huffed and Lenora nodded.

"But wait a minute, are you absolutely sure that is Jessie Marin?" Lenora asked.
"I mean, even if she's a look alike, her profile fits the actress. Besides if your not guilty why would you run?" Krystal replied.
"Fine, that a good point. Let's go."
"Wait, wait." Krystal said.
"What?!" Lenora asked impatiently.
"What do we do once we find her?" Krystal asked ignoring her sharp tone.
"What do you mean what do we do? Ask her what happened and we'll go from there, don't ask stupid questions and just search." Lenora snapped and Krystal frowned shaking her head at her and walking towards the rooms.
She pulled her phone out of her purse and made a call. She never really intended on informing the bitter reporter or her cop boyfriend, but if she wanted to catch the runaway actress she needed and extra pair of eyes. And now that she got it, it was time to inform her true employer, Jonathan.
While she preferred they did not find Jessie before her, because she didn't know their real intentions behind looking for the actress. She couldn't let Jessie get away, that was first priority. And even though she couldn't trust Jonathan as well, he was the only one paying her. The thought of it all seemed disgusting to her but when she thought of her expiring lease and her sister nearing the end of her high school study. She knew she had to be disgusting to get by, and it's not as if she was doing anything so wrong, okay maybe but she hoped Jonathan had good intentions towards the actress. She was her fan after all.
"Krystal? Did you find her?" Jonathan asked.
"No, but I'm not the only one searching, I just texted you the address you have to find her before any one else." Krystal informed him.
"How do I find her if you haven't?"
"I'm searching, but two pair of eyes are definitely better than one. So get here now." She said cutting of the call.
She opened the doors slightly, just a little bit to listen in. Nothing out of the ordinary, the only thing that she still wondered no one had come to bother her about snooping in the establishment. Were they just that lax? Either way, it was benefiting her so she didn't care about it.
She had checked every door on that wing, except one. And it was locked, she tried to shake it open but it wouldn't budge. Placing her ear on the door she struggled to listen for activity, about to give up because of lack of noise she heard something.
It sounded like a woman talking, crying? She sounded desperate and scared. Krystal sighed, bingo. Her phone buzzed in her hand and she picked it up to answer.
"I'm in the left wing, room 118." She stated curtly.
