I snapped the photos in rapid succession in all possible angles. When the memory card was full, I swung the camera to my back and grabbed the other one that hung from my neck.
Suddenly, I felt like the strap around my neck was choking me.
"Mr. Whitlock, are you okay?" asked the model I'd been photographing.
I couldn't answer. I felt like my throat was closing in, followed by a dizziness, like someone had moved the floor under my feet.
I was falling but, before I could hit the floor, I felt his arms around me.
"Babe, tell me what's wrong."
I tried to take a deep breath, but choked with air. Someone quickly helped me get the straps of the cameras off my neck. I was finally able to breathe again, but then tears came pouring out of me without notice.
"Breathe, Jasper. Calm down, please!"
I cried uncontrollably, listening to my partner's voice asking me to keep breathing, until I was finally able to calm down.
When I opened my mouth, I was able to say the one word I'd been trying to get out.
"A-A-Alice…"
"Jasper, are you okay? What about your sister?"
I looked up at him, my voice full of dread. "There's something wrong… I think she's in danger."
I will update in groups of five every other hour. Enjoy the first batch. xoxo ~Mina
