Kate kneeled by her friend, in an absolute panic. She tried to stay clam, she tried not to think of all the things that could go wrong.
"Colette? Are you alright?" Kate whispered.
"I'm ok." Colette tried to give a bit of a brave smile.
"Are you sure?" Kate was not convinced, and she knew that any injuries that Colette might have were her fault. She had been the man's target and Colette had the misfortune of being around her. The guilt was overwhelming. But she knew this was not the time to let it get the best of her. There was plenty of time to feel guilty later; tomorrow she could spend as much time feeling guilty as she wanted.
"I don't know who you are working for," Kate looked up at the man, feeling a sudden surge of bravery, "But I don't have what you are looking for."
"You are not very convincing Kate Cameron." The man had assumed a patronizing tone.
"Please, I don't have your cigarette case! If I did I would give it to you." Kate's attempts at convincing him that he had confused her with someone else were not going as well as she had hoped.
"I continue to have trouble believing you Miss Cameron." The man took one of those unnerving steps forward.
