Chapter 41: I told you to wait

When Storm and Seth walked away from the car, leaving her behind, Ellie couldn't believe what was happening. Was she dreaming or was the universe answering her prayers?

The doors were unlocked, and he even said she should wait for him. Haa! Was he serious? She didn't care if she would be caught. She was not sitting and waiting for no one. She was making a run for it.

The chapel was less than a ten-minute journey to her apartment if she ran at top speed. She needed to know Nicholas' condition, and this looks like it would be her only opportunity.

So the moment she saw them enter the church, she opened the door as quietly as she could, and climbed out. She took silent, slow steps away from the front of the church, and as soon as she was in the clear, she ran like she had never before.
