Chapter 69 Chao

• The sound of gas filled my ears and in the next moment I was blanketed by darkness. This was close to being overwhelmed by panic, but Chase, holding my hand, brought me back to the real world. We had to move, had to come up with a way to get out of that house before the gas got in the way.
• “Breathe not a word!” I said to Chase in hushed tones. It was still very dark, and I could not even make out his face, but I could just feel him squeezing my hand as a response.
• The pulse quickened with the feeling of anxiety and adrenaline flowed through the veins and made me more sensitive. An explosion of some sort had destabilized our captors – this might well be our only opening. I grabbed Chase’s hand and dragged us both down to the floor where perhaps the air was more breathable.
