Annie goes to the train station to find the "blackmailer"

Annie arrived at the train station at the crack of dawn. She had a restless night, mentally recapping the case and getting ready for the big confrontation.

Annie boarded the train using Angela’s pass and sneaked into her private cabin. Her plan was simple, she would hide and ambush the blackmailer. Between the three women, they should be able to take her on.

The private cabin had a couple of chairs at the sides, a table in the middle, and some compartments for luggage above. No two ways about it, the only place Annie could hide was in the luggage compartment above the seats.

Annie placed one foot on the table and then hopped into the compartment. It was a tight fit but she managed to squeeze inside by contorting into a small ball. It was uncomfortable, but she had endured worse to solve cases, yesterday’s misadventure included.

“…I’ve found you, so you lose. You still owe me one!” Annie recognized the voice, a small opening in the cupboard let her peek outside and confirm her suspicion. It was the brunette! The one that licked Laura and chained herself in her room. What was her name again? Right, Talia, or so the hotel registry said.

“Nu-oh. I exited the place on my own, so technically I win.”

“Really? Cause the way I remember it, your cute ass was still naked and in chains when I found you mumbling to that reporter.”

“It’s not my fault, it’s that redhead! If it wasn’t for her I would have never been so humiliated!” Angela sat down and angrily hugged a cushion. Talia embraced her and tenderly patted her head.

“Cheer up, honey. She got me too, remember?”

Huh, were those two an item? Is that what the blackmailer had on them? Speaking of, where was the fiend?

The compartment door opened and the two women stood straight in shock. “You!” yelled Talia. Ah, there came the blackmailer, it was- no, it couldn’t be? Laura?!
