Chapter 39 Planning

• Hillary’s POV
• We were quite surprised when Becky and Miguel came back and started packing up like some deranged lunatics. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought that he was just trying to get us rattled off for no must reason but trust me, I know better. If anything, he even looks rattled off, he looks so disheveled. I could only imagine what he has seen to make him look this way. He didn’t explain it clearly to us, he only asked us to pack up all the important stuff because we are leaving in a few hours. This is not the first time that we are being attacked by Ariel’s goons, but this is the first time that I’m seeing him so rattled off and stressed out over the matter. It almost looks as if there was something else bothering him, but that’s not remotely possible, I mean, what could be more important than our lives, what could be more important. Could it be that he now regrets his actions, does he want to turn back and leave us to our problems? If that is the case, then I’m cool with it. He can leave if he wants to, there is nothing holding him back. It is going to be a bit hard, but we’ll definitely survive.
• “What’s up with you, Miguel. You are acting a bit strange. Did something else happen?” I asked him a few hours later when we were safely out of the warehouse.
