The Proxy

An Attempt

Smiley untied us and took us to the bathroom.
"Take as long as you want. Well, not that long."
He locked the door behind us after Naomi and I walked in. I looked around and saw how big the room was. It looked oddly long though and it was really clean for some reason, considering the fact that this is most likely a murder house. Naomi awkwardly took off her clothes while I did the same at a different part of the room and we took a shower. Under different shower heads, of course. The warm water dripped down my body and washed away some of the dirt in my hair and body. I grabbed a bar of soap that was well conveniently placed and washed the rest of the dirt off. It felt amazing. After I finished, I put on a towel and looked around. I then saw a window that genuinely seemed pretty high, it must've been the window they mentioned before. After a minute, I decided to quickly put my clothes back on and tuck the knives I had back under my shirt. I then went to Naomi with an idea, avoiding looking at her naked body.
"How about we just jump out of that window there?" I asked as I pointed to the high window. She hesitantly nodded and put her clothes back on, a bit freaked out that I was standing in front of her while she was completely naked. Just as she was about to turn the shower off, however, I quickly explained that she shouldn't or that Smiley dude would put two and two together and we'll get caught. We walked to the window and struggled to open it but after a while, it opened, but only slightly.
"Welp looks like you'll have to go through, Alexa." She said with annoyance.
"I'll try to find a way for you to escape too," I said as I crawled through the small gap in the window and felt a strong gust of cold air blow in my wet hair.  I had no choice but to jump down and just hope for the best, there was no windowsill I could sit on and barely anything for me to grab onto to climb down. I threw myself out the window and quickly regretted it as I saw how far I was from the ground. I made a loud THUD and CRACK as I landed on my elbows and stomach. I started to rub my elbows and rib area, as they were now in immense pain. I hope I didn't break anything.
As I was rubbing my body, I heard a faint bang on the door, it must've been Smiley. I heard nothing else as I was pretty far from the window, but I did make out some yelling.
I sighed in relief as I felt the knives that were tucked under my shirt didn't somehow go into my skin. Even though I had a harness for them on, I was still a bit nervous since anything can really happen and they could easily slip out. I then simply patted my shirt down over them while patrolling a way for Naomi to escape the house, but then I saw them...
