Following the sound of footsteps, Sabina is rushing in.
She probably hasn't noticed us. She keeps her head down and walks towards the room.
Serena doesn't like to be ignored and shouts at Sabina, "Stop there!"
Sabina regains her senses and sees the gun in Serena's hand. She freezes.
She stands there in a daze, looking at me and then at Frances.
Clearly, she doesn't know what is happening here.
"Who are you?"
Serena asks toughly.
"She's our nanny." I quickly say.
Frances and I are facing grave danger now. We can't let Sabina get into this.
Although Sabina hates me, I do know what is the most important at this moment.
She nods at Serena and says, "Yes, I am the nanny here."
"Alright, then go up and bring the two children down. Right now!" Serena orders.
The children?
Sabina's eyes get gloomy.
She doesn't like me, but she likes Earl very much.
Earl and Albie are asleep when Serena arrives.
I think at least the kids can get away from this.
But now, it seems impossible.
"Do you hear me? Hurry up!"
Serena uses her gun to point at Sabina.
Sabina is shocked, but she still stands at where she is.
She loves the two children.
That's what women have in common.
