"I was safe the entire time, wasn't I?" Katie slowly asks, "I'm not trying to be cocky or anything, I'm just asking."
Lane rolls his eyes as if it should already be obvious, looking back out onto the damp woods in annoyance. "What do you...

The creaking sound of the attic door woke Katie from her nap. Her eyes slowly open, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings. Scuffling in the floor can be heard. Leo yawns and stretches out in Katie's arms.
"Kid! Kid!" Someone grabs Katie's shoulder, roughly shaking her. Their ya da are ice cold.
Katie opens her eyes wide, looking around. She comes face to face with Max. The blonde softly narrows her brows in confusion.
"Max? Wha-What are you doing up here?" She softly speaks.
"Come on! Get up." Max throws he covers back, tossing Leo aside. "Hurry!"
Katie quickly does as she's told, rising to her feet. Max looks around, spotting the private bathroom. She closes the attic door before marching inside the private bathroom. The blonde slowly follows after her. Suddenly, Katie notices that Max is carrying a white grocery bag.
"What's going on? What're you doing-" Katie watches as Max takes out a two small boxes and sets down a 6 pct. carton of 12 oz. bottles of Apple juice on the toilet lid.
"You gotta pee?" The girl with the blonde pixie cut asks, sounding tired.
"Um...no? Why?" Katie stands at the doorway of the private bathroom.
"I need you to start drinking those bottles of Apple juice." Max commands, grabbing one of the two must boxes. "It's good for you, don't worry?"
"Why do I need to drink Apple juice-" Katie pouts her lips in confusion.
"Kid, this code fucking red." Max turns to her, her hazel eyes filled with panic. "Listen, you do this for me or Boss makes you do this for him. Either way, you're going to do this one way or another."
Katie walks over to the carton of 12oz. apple justice bottles. She snoops as she rips the plastic open for her to grab a bottle. Her green eyes flicker over to Max, whose eyes move left to right as she reads the back of the mysterious box.
"May I ask what this is about?" Katie gently asks.
"It would be best if you didn't." Max quickly answers. "Boss just needs a result."
"A result?" The blonde opens the bottle of apple juice, taking a sip. "What does that mean?"
Max looks over at Katie, nodding to the juice. "Drink up. You're going to need to pee."
"Why!" The blonde stomps her foot in frustration, pouting her lips.
Max shoves the box to Katie's chest. The blonde furrows her brows and looks down at the box. On three sides it reads: Pregnancy Test. Katie's body goes still, her eyes locked on the two words before her. Her hands begin to tremble.
