ZARA I am awakened by the ringing of my phone , and at first , I think it is the alarm , but when I look at the screen with half - open eyes , I notice that it is the number of the company's head of security , who almost never calls unless it is something important , for which I answer immediately and notice Tom starting to wake up next to me. " Hello? " I answer the phone , trying to keep my voice from sounding so hoarse. " Miss Arlington , I am sorry to wake you up so early , but we found something about the fire that occurred a few weeks ago , and I think it would be convenient if you came as soon as possible, " he tells me in a serious tone , and I immediately sit up in bed , already fully awake and on high alert. Tom senses my unease and wakes up too as he looks at me
