Leaning her head against the wall, Leonica stared up at the ceiling, counting the minutes in her head. It had been approximately an hour since she got here and there was still no sign of Chief Robert.
She sighed. Perhaps she shouldn't have put her safety in his hands. She wasn't even sure how smart he was, she had simply trusted him.
"You're regretting it, aren't you?" Her mother's voice had her glancing her way.
"What?"
"Coming here?" Cassandra clarified as she sat beside her daughter.
Leonica shook her head. "I regret nothing." She smiled and pulled her mother closer. "We're going to get out of this, and we're going to bring her down. I promise."
Cassandra nodded and hugged her daughter, a soft smile gracing her lips. If her daughter wasn't willing to regret, neither would she.
"I hope the police find us soon." She sighed. "I hope your father finds us soon." She added.
Leonica chuckled. "They will."
