The voices became clear all of a sudden and I could make out what they were saying, it was coming from two men who should probably be in their late twenties or early thirties.
"Slow down Jake, she is going to see us."
The first voice pleaded with a little whine to his voice.
"Shut up man, it's your loud ass voice that will give us away."
The second voice sounded a bit irritated. I got very frightened as I thought they were talking about me and I looked around sharply as I jogged, trying to find men hiding and ready to jump at me but I couldn't find anyone.
"You probably should not be so rude considering that we are on a mission right now."
The first voice spoke up again, he sounded so whiny this time it would be impossible to miss it.
"I said shut up."
The second man who I was assuming was the Jake said and sighed dramatically, as if he was rolling his eyes but he kept quiet after that. I started to hear footsteps on what sounded like sand and I looked around me. I broke into a full sprint and I knew I was close to my house.
"Wait, she is stopping, why is she stopping?"
