"Come on, Rosa! What are you waiting for?!"
Millie's raring to go chase Angela, but you point a finger to the ceiling.
"Shh... listen. You hear that?"
Steps upstairs. Heeled shoe on pine. Only a few steps, then a creak and a click. Door? High possibility. A couple seconds more of silence - except for that muffled, metallic thudding noise - and you're sure there's nobody outside the room.
"Right, now the coast's clear."
You slowly open the door so it doesn't creak, and out bolts Millie. Thankfully, she's light enough for her hasty footsteps to get drowned in the thudding noise.
"Be careful!"
"I will!"
Soon enough the both of you ascended the stairs, seems like Angela was telling the truth about the brothel still being closed. There's several doors, but the closest one is the one marked VIP.
"There! That's the door she went through, I'm sure of it!"
You whispered loudly, as Millie seems to be concentrating hard at the door and the room beyond it.
"Craig's definitely there... let's bust in!"
"Hold on..."
While her idea has merit in catching Angela, and anyone else in that VIP room, by surprise, you're also considering a slightly stealthier approach.
