Chapter 4 - THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCHHer name was Lily.
At least, that's what the stranger called her.
Evelyn discovered this the following morning when she found the girl sitting outside her apartment.
Alone.
Wet from the rain.
Evelyn crouched beside her.
“Where are your parents?”
Lily looked up.
“My daddy is dead.”
Evelyn swallowed.
“Who is your daddy?”
The girl pointed toward Evelyn's apartment.
“You know him.”
Evelyn's heart stopped.
Inside the apartment, she found a cup of tea sitting on the kitchen table.
Still warm.
Beside it was a handwritten note.
YOU HAVE UNTIL MIDNIGHT.
Lily suddenly grabbed Evelyn's hand.
“Don't drink it.”
“What?”
“The tea.”
Evelyn looked at the cup.
Lily whispered:
“It makes people sleep.”

Then she added:
“Sometimes they don't wake up.”
