Harry's POV:
After a discussion, the three of us finally came to the decision for one of us to go out first and create a disturbance to distract the vampires. The other two would escape in the ensuing chaos. They would then make a commotion as well so that the first one could also get away.
"Who will go first?" Sylvia asked.
I was going to recommend myself, but Joanna spoke first.
"I'll go."
Sylvia and I exchanged a glance filled with tacit understanding and said in unison, "Okay."
It was obvious that Joanna was strong. Although her strength did not match up with mine, she was still the most suitable candidate. After all, her ability to hide and evade was superior to Sylvia's and mine. She would be able to fool those vampires outside.
"Be careful," I said in an earnest voice as I patted her shoulder.
Joanna didn't respond. She gave a nod to Sylvia, and then spun around and rushed out of the cave.
The cave became a little quieter with her departure. Sylvia and I were left behind here and would have to wait for Joanna's signal.
The signal was a chirp. Joanna's imitation of a bird chirping sounded almost real. I had discovered this by accident and had forced her to perform it several times for me.
"John is so agile.
His ability to move stealthily and his sense of perception is incredibly exceptional. He seems to be very experienced," Sylvia sighed.
My lips curled to one side. Sylvia was right. How else could Joanna be a professional killer? These were requisite skills for an assassin. If she hadn't been strong enough, she would have died a long time ago.
"You have been stuck with John every day, haven't you? You must have learned something about him, right?" Sylvia watched me curiously and said in a teasing voice.
