but when she got there, the only thing she was afraid of having exhaustion. it was such an exciting city that she never got any sleep. it took her two weeks to do the articles and she had to interview a lot of people but she enjoyed every minute of it. she completely forgot all her friends’ warnings until the day she went back to london. it all began in a bar.

she was having lunch there when she suddenly felt someone watching her. she looked up and noticed a man sitting at a table opposite her. he was staring at her, but looked away. she noticed that he had a scar on his cheek. he was about 30 and had short, curly hair. paula was not worried at all. she had to go to an airline office to rebook her flight home. she wanted an afternoon flight instead of a morning one, as originally planned. on her way there, she stopped to look at something in a shop-window. to her surprise she saw the man follow her. she could see his reflection in the glass. he had stopped just behind her. suddenly she felt afraid. she walked on. then she stopped and looked behind her again. but this time she could not see him.

just then she noticed she had come to the airline office. she went in and after she had finished her business, decided to phone a friend from a telephone booth there. she was carrying a small, portable but very expensive tape-recorder. it was in a black case in which she kept her money and passport as well. but the booth was so small that she had to leave the case outside. when she came out, it had disappeared. then she saw the red-haired man hurrying out of the office. he had the case in his hand. she shouted but it was too late.
