章 51: AS EASY AS THOUGHT?

ADRIANA'S POV

"Oh shit!" I cursed as I quickly ran to grab my gun from inside the room.

With shaking hands, I quickly tucked it into my pockets, my mind reeling.

Was I really about to leave? What if it didn't work?

As I rushed back down the stairs, aware I had only about two minutes to get to where Henry said, I couldn't help but feel bad a little for leaving. Things weren't as bad as it was, but this place wasn't for me, and it was all just a facade.

Using the back door, I sneaked out, pressing myself against the wall of the house as I peered at the place he had asked me to meet.

The security lights were turned off and I couldn't hear anyone from there. It really was clear.

Something had happened. Something bad.

Without thinking, I ran forward; my gaze fixed forward as I tried to stay in the darkness.

Suddenly, I heard a voice making me freeze.

"Who's there?" I heard a man's voice.
