The Western diaries

The countdown

- Hey you hooligans, we know you're in here open the door now!
The squeaky woman's voice screamed from the other side of the door. It was the same women from a couple of hours ago. This time she wasn't alone as they could here more footsteps.
The kids stayed silent in fear when deep man's voice started talking.

- Let us handle this maam.
Deep voice spoke up, not that loud.

- We know you're in here, your parents confirmed you never came back from school today.
The third voice spoke making them even more scared.

- What the hell?
Oliver shouted silently, his hand still covering Hannah's mouth.

As no one was answering the man with the deep voice shouted again.

- Police open the door!
This time it was no joke.

- That psycho called cops?
Serene whispered to her friends thinking of lady from museum.

- You have three minutes or we're breaking in!
The other man continued shouting.

- You trouble kids are going to be expelled!
The annoying lady's squeaky voice yelled again. She sounded so proud of herself. What a psycho they thought.

- What do we do?
Hannah whispered terrified when getting Oliver's hand off her.

- I don't know! If they come in we're screwed!
Serene replied looking around for the way out of this.

- Come on now you little brats! This is what happens when you touch my museum artifacts!
The lady squeaked again.

- Two more minutes and we're in!
The man shouted.

- We need to get the hell out of here, Now!
Oliver whisper - yelled to the two.

- And how do we do that?
Hannah asked panicking.

- Okay, Serene get all of that stuff in the backpack and I'm going to check the window! Quick!
He said running to the small window near the wardrobe.

- Are you crazy? We can't jump through the window this high!
Hannah panicked while helping Serene packing all of the stuff.

- I never said we're jumping!
Oliver whispered trying to open the small window.

- I think we can fit through, now hurry up!
He yelled a little louder.

- One more minute!
The scary voice yelled.

- Ma'am, how do you exactly know they are here for your museum stuff?
The man asked squeaky lady.

- Why else would they be here for, officer?
She replied confidently, with her head high up.

- I don't know, they're teenagers why would they need historical artifacts?
The man asked.

- He's right, maybe this is some kind of school prank, they're teenagers after all.
The other cop agreed with his workmate.

- Ugh! You don't believe my instincts? Well dear officers you will see yourself in just... thirty seconds!
The lady stood high up for her opinion while looking at her gold watch.

- Uh, guys? I think I just heard thirty seconds!
Oliver informed the girls.

- It would be twenty five now!
Serene whispered to him zipping up the backpack full of stuff.

- Okay, ready?
Oliver asked looking at opened window.

- Are you crazy? We will die if we jump from over here!
Now serene panicked as well.

- Look, there's no time to explain. You ain't gonna jump, there's this tick pipes that will probably hold us.
The girls looked out of window to see four big pipes and the ground really far down.
