Chapter 26 The Midnight Revelation

• One night, as I lay wakeful, a noisy cry shattered the silence. The noise of people shouting and scuffling outdoors. My door jolted me upright. My coronary heart pounded in my chest as I strained to pay interest on what came to be taking location. The sounds grew louder, extra frantic, and I knew something big had become unfolding in reality past the partitions of my hidden room.
• Moments later, the door burst open, and Gabby stormed in, flanked by the manner of guards. Josephine decided, supported by the use of Eileen, blood streaming down Josephine’s face. Rosa, Isabel, and numerous different percentages of participants crowded the entrance, their expressions an aggregate of worry and resolution.
• Before I wanted to utter a word, Gabby crossed the room in quick strides and slapped me with difficulty in the path of the face. The marvel of the blow made me reel, and I barely had time to discover what had been taking place in advance, then he struck me again, harder this time. His eyes blazed with anger and betrayal.
