Jess was relieved when Nathan answered his phone and quickly started over to the bus stop. What could have caused that reaction? Why did he think she was upset, it wasn't his fault she got separated from him... was it? She was just glad to hear that he didn't get too far yet. Fortunately the bus stop wasn't too far away from where she was, only a short distance around the corner from her. She walked as quickly as she could so they wouldn't have to wait for the next bus just to head back to the apartment. However when she rounded the corner and saw Nathan talking to Rachel and Vanessa she knew things weren't going to end well either way. By the way things looked they were heading to the apartment as well probably to surprise them. That would end worse for Nathan than it would for her. In fact just about any unless she diverted their attention onto her. But was she willing to sacrifice her anonymity to save her friend's anonymity. He owed her BIG TIME for what she was about to do.

It would distract her and hopefully Rachel as well from Nathan and hopefully buy him time to get back to the apartment and get changed back. She felt so scared, so anxious she felt like she was going to pass out. She barely made it to the bus stop on her feet. [color=F08080]"I'm sorry, Nessa, for not being truthful."
