Almost everybody closed their eyes in anticipation for the worst. Everyone except Ethan, because he was the one driving. There was no escape, on the left lane a truck was heading towards them and on the right lane there was already a truck there. They were moving too fast to suddenly hit the brakes anyway. With skilful position, he drove in between the very narrow space between the two vehicles. Barely managing to get past before the two trucks sandwiched the SUV, giving it a very big scratch on each side. But he managed to stabilize the car and he had passed the two trucks successfully, the only consequence was that the two side mirrors had broken off in the process. The cop car behind them wasn't going to take the risk so it slowed down giving Ethan the chance to speed away. “Oh my God, that was extremely dangerous!” Leilani exclaimed when she opened her eyes. “They are children in the back!” She yelled again out of fear.

Valerie's eyes were wide open. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. The accident she had with the car that almost killed her wasn't random, it was her sister's ploy. She knew that day that the brakes stopped working out of the blues, but never suspected that Renée was the one who tampered with them. Renée was equally in shock, with color draining from her face. Her grip on her phone loosened, causing it to slip and fall from her hand, and then tumble down the stairs because she was standing very close to the stairs that were descending to the floor below. Valerie took a few steps back as she shook her head in this belief. “How could you?” She accused, her voice choked with emotion. “Calm down, I can explain.” Renée tried to step forward but Valerie moved backwards. “Not another inch, don't you dare come near me.” At this point the both of them had already broken into tears. “Valerie please, I can explain. It's not what it looks like. Maybe it is but-” “But what?! B

They all raised their heads when they heard the knock on the door. Exchanging troubled looks with each other. If the police had found them, then it meant that they had no way of escaping since Bruno had left with the car when he escaped earlier. The only other option would be to attack the police officers which could land them in much worse trouble. Ethan slowly inched forward, gesturing with his hands so that the rest of them remained quiet and calm. He moved towards the window and grabbed the curtain, pulling it back so he could peep at who was at the door. To his surprise, he found out it was Bruno. There was a crease between his eyebrows as he opened the door gently. “There's cops all over the area, if I drove out of here they would spot me in the mouth of minutes on the road,” Bruno explained as he walked into the house. Keith had his gun trained at him from inside. Bruno raised his hand and then dropped the gun. “Here I am, I'm back. And this time you don't need to bother t

Darren was practically praying that they were just walking by, his heart was in his mouth as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Their footsteps began to fade, Which means that they were probably just passing by. The sudden shrill of Trevor's phone ringing startled the doctor almost half to death. He snatched the phone from Trevor's pocket as quickly as he could and he ended the call. His heart was beating faster with each passing second. Did they hear the noise? Were they coming? His mind was racing with different thoughts. After a couple of seconds, he came to realize that the phone ringing didn't alert them and he heaved a sigh of relief. The anesthesia he gave Trevor would only last for about 45 minutes, he needed to make his move and leave this place now. He twisted the door knob and gently opened the door, peeping first to check if the coast was clear before he fully came out of the room. He trained his gun forward and made his way down the hallway. This being the first

Skyler grunted in frustration, kicking, punching and slapping the interiors of the elevator. “No! No no no! Not today! Ugh!” She cried in a frustrated tone. She took a peek at her wrist watch, she had about 5 minutes to get to class. “Help! Help! Somebody help!” She screamed from inside but it was as if the elevator was down. Eventually she sat down on the floor and cradled her knees to her chest. It was already bad enough that Mr Timothy had a bad impression of her the first time they met, now this was happening again for the second time. Her phone buzzed with a notification, indicating that someone sent her a text. She picked it up and opened it, realizing that it was Raul. “Mr. Tim just stepped into the class,” the text message read. She started tapping away on her phone screen. “I know, I should have been there already but I am stuck in the elevator in the science building,” she responded. “Oh my gosh, I'm sorry? I'm coming.”Her eyes widened when she saw the message. “No, d
