Celeste Lord Corrigan
"Let's go, now."
Celeste started to protest, elbowing Barnes violently in the ribs. She had just realized she was standing outside in her bathrobe and wanted to go back inside, to get her dress. It infuriated her that he held her tightly by the arm. He tried to push her into the car. She was about to open her mouth to let lose a string of obsenities when the sound caught in her throat.
She saw him. The man from the apartment. Even drunk she recognized that profile, his features as sharp as a razor. She wanted to scream and she bit her lip until it bled just to keep quiet. The pain did a little to clear her mind and she looked at Charlie. He was looking at the car too, his face deadly serious. She nodded and meekly got into the car, praying the killer hadn't seen her.
As Barnes got in the driver's side, she clutched his arm.
"P-Please, don't take me home, M-M-Mr. Barnes. I'm afraid that he might know where I live."
