“We need to get out of here before that's us.”I whispered quietly to Gabriel.
He nodded enough for me to know but no one else to notice, “We all need to, but how will we get everyone’s attention without getting the guards?”
“Walk towards the edges of the group and alert the others than relay the inform ation to them and have them do it too if someone else is in the group next to them.”
“What about the little ones?” He asked, gripping Anna tighter.
“Have whoever is with them hold them while they run, weather its theirs or one of the others.”
He nodded and started scofuling towards the edge while I did the same. I started waving my hand as a motion to come towards me. Lilly sees me, and I can see pure fear in her baby blue eyes. She moves over towards me, I put a finger to my mouth to show to be quiet. Her wavy blonde bounces as she nods.
"We are going to try and get out of here, okay, So go quietly and quickly go tell Nile," I whispered.
She nodded and turned and walked over to the other group and motioned for Nile. I walked back over to the center of my group to see Gabriel already standing there.
"So what's our plan? Cause we can't just book it, we'll get shot in an instant." I say in a hushed voice.
We all turn at the sound of clicking heels to see the lady back.
"Now, I'm going to need group 1"
I look over to see Maxsin in that group. He's in the middle. He looks around quickly before quickly sliding into the group next to him. Ash and Lacey quickly cover him and scoot back to the middle, where they wait while looking at me and Gabriel, expecting the miracle we are trying to pull off to come to life all of a sudden
I look back at Gabriel, "Okay, we seriously need a plan. That was way too close."
He nods and starts to look off in the distance, and suddenly looks like he had a realization.
"What? What is it?" I ask frantically and hopefully.
"The sun is setting," he says, looking out over the horizon where the setting sun is using its last bit of light.
"So? How is that going to help us? So we don't have to look at the murder that's going to happen in front of us, " I say sarcastically.
"No genius, it's easier to sneak out in the night."
Realization hit me like a truck.
"I've always loved the dark"
