She grabbed her phone and looked at its screen, wondering why Valerio had not returned from his company yet.

[Valerio, if you come back and I am not home yet, do not worry. I just went out to finish some business. We will talk when you return.] She sent him a voicemail and stuffed the phone into the pocket of her jacket.
She made her way out and proceeded downstairs.
She walked out of the building and out of the compound, stopping a cab that would take her to the location.
Once she had entered, the driver took the location and moved to drive her.
