Yes

Katie still had a hand thrown across her bra. Even as the seconds passed and she left Roxanne behind, it didn’t feel any better. If she fell for any more of her tricks, she’d be losing something much bigger next time. The idea of being topless or pantsless didn’t appeal to her. But as for her plan, she didn’t have one.

If she could get that door control from Roxanne, she might be able to escape before anything worse happened.

Katie found herself back in the entrance hall, looking up at the grand staircase leading to the upper levels. This time, she trod carefully, searching for any signs of traps. Roxanne had probably rigged just about everything in this house, but if she moved slowly, it would give her a chance.

She lifted and pressed one foot on each step, listening to any strange noises that could indicate a trap. Her heart thudded as she made it three-quarters of the way up the stairs. Behind her, she could see a landing that led left or right, with two separate staircases leading up to yet another level.

Katie determined that if she was going to make it to Roxanne, she would find her at the top of the house. After all, where would a girl like that want her bedroom to be?
