[Margaret's Perspective]
Elliot gave me a complicated look and said, "They can attack with impunity, but we have more to worry about."
"Could it be that they are trying to sneak up on us or have set some kind of trap inside?" Anthony asked, joining the discussion.
Eric shook his head. "This looks more like a premeditated retreat."
Elizabeth and I glanced at each other in confusion.
"But we did escape on our own," I said.
"How the hell did you guys get out?" Eric asked, frowning.
Because I'd been trapped for so long and hadn't taken a sip of water, my voice sounded hoarse, but I insisted on telling them how Elizabeth and I had escaped.
"That's it. We jumped out the window and saw you guys."
"You didn't meet anyone on your way out?" Elliot asked, resting his chin on his hand.
"No," I said.
