The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 99

Chapter 0099 Judys POV Kill us ?? W … why would they want to kill us ? Irene stammered , panic clear in her eyes .

W …what did we do .

Okay , Irene .

I need you to listen to me , I said , sliding over to her , trying not to move the cuffs around my wrists too much because they stung badly .

You have to calm down .

If they find out we are awake , they might come back sooner than later and kill us right away .

Right now , we have the element of surprise on our hands .

They dont know we are awake .

I knew we were in the basement , but I wasnt sure if they could hear us .

I could hear their shoes creaking on the floorboards above us , and I silenced my voice even more , worried about our safety .

So , are we just supposed to sit here and pretend we are asleep ? She asked , tears welling in her eyes .

Until we can come up with a better plan , we need to do what we can to survive , I told her .

She wrapped her arms around her body , but immediately yelped when the cuffs moved around her wrists , burning her .

She let out a soft sob as tears ran down her pale cheeks .

My father will find us … she whispered .

Hes the most powerful werewolf in this entire world .

He has to find us … I wanted to believe that she was right , but my heart was in my stomach .

I didnt want to admit to Irene that I was terrified as well .

I had been training my entire life to be a gamma warrior and now that Im in immediate danger , its like all my training had been forgotten .

There was no window in this basement , so I had no idea what time it was .

As I scanned my surroundings , I noticed a vent on the ceiling .

I let my mind briefly wander and I wondered if I would be able to get into that vent .

But until I got these handcuffs off my wrists , the likelihood of getting into that vent was slim .

Irene slid her knees to her chest and buried her face in her lap as she took a shaky deep breath .

We are going to get out of here … she kept whispering to herself .
