Prologue
Deja left her apartment for her daily walk around the neighborhood. There was a lot on her mind. A rumor was circulating that several people who worked jobs a lot like hers in doctors’ offices throughout Pittsburgh were being laid off. She did the medical billing and anything else that needed to be done. It wasn’t like it would be hard to replace her. Some companies had decided to outsource their billing. There were also rumors that the owner of her apartment building had been seen showing people around. It was enough to give her an ulcer.
When she looked up, she had no idea where she was. An electric feeling had gone through her. It made her feel as though she’d -been scanned from head to toe and then approved.
She was standing in front of what looked like a gentlemen’s club. She shook her head, wanting to get a grip on reality. Things in her head had been changing and she’d felt like maybe this was one long slide into mental instability.
She looked up once again, shivers going through her leaving goosebumps over her body and making anxious butterflies revolt in her stomach.
Deja backed away before speed walking back the way she came from. She didn’t know what was in that building except for the certainty that if she entered it her life would change.
