What if you started following someone who was following someone else? It sounds like a spy movie, but that’s exactly what happens in today’s soap opera.
Dale and Ella are detectives who have come to investigate Beren’s kidnapping. They staked out her place, and now they have some intelligence telling them where she is. They see her and follow her right into her building!
But Marni and Mason think Dale and Ella are just nice new friends. But when they see them talking into their jackets and running along the outside of Beren’s building, they start to get suspicious.

When Dale and Ella finally find Beren, it just so happens that Marni and Mason are standing right there to see them run off. They chase them, but then they follow them to a locked door leading into the basement.
The very same basement where Beren so strangely went after her awkward encounter with Dale and Ella in the elevator. Come back next week to see what happens!
Have you ever followed someone or been followed?
