"So let's recap the plan." Ray said a day after, sitting on a closed well. "After lunch, we'll get our free time. (Y/N) and I will distract mum. Norman and Emma climb the wall and inspect the vicinity. Don, Gilda, stay outside the house in a way that you can see the south window of the second floor. (Y/N) or myself will signal just incase we fail to distract mum. You'll then need to inform Emma and Norman to stop the inspection."
I leaned on a wall of the house. "I doubt Isabella isn't suspicious. I don't think she found anything but we shouldn't be too optimistic. There's also a possibility she might not fall for Ray and I's distraction."
"If that's to happen, will we give up on the inspection?" Gilda asked.
"Yeah." I replied and everyone except Ray frowned. The ravenette only nodded in agreement with my response.
Ray put an arm around my shoulder, pointing at the quartet before us. "Listen, it's over when mum thinks of us as uncontrollable. Her goal is to ship us out maturely. Especially the four with perfect scores She spent a long time handling our growth and would never want to ship us out early. If she can control us, that's precisely what she'll do. That's who caretaker Isabella is."
I could notice Don sweating bullets as Ray said that.
"No matter what happens." I continued, "just keep making her think we're still her puppets on a string. The next shipment is in January." I made a slight gesture to Ray. "So even if we have six days left, we have time to postpone. Everything must be in secret. We need to pretend to be controllable. Got it?"
"Got it." They all replied.
Norman stepped forward. "Ray, (Y/N), can I talk to you guys?"
We ended up in Norman's room. Ray and I learnt that yesterday, whilst Ray and I were talking to Isabella, the other four ran into Krone who had figured out we all knew of the secret. They all formed a deal that Emma and Norman would go to Krone to get more information on the outside - which they did. But it lead to Krone figuring out we know how to break the tracking devices.
"We learnt a lot, but we screwed up. So I want to move up the escape." He stated with a hint of disappointment in his voice. "When can you two break the tracking devices?"
It was time for Ray and I to show them the camera, which we were keeping under some floorboards underneath for the time being. I dashed to my room, grabbing it and running back to Norman's room.
I took it out of its box. "For selling you lot out." I remarked.
"An instant camera?" Emma asked.
"(Y/N) and I have been waiting for ages for it to arrive." Ray smirked. "Now we have all the necessary pieces. We can break the tracking devices anytime now."
