Chapter 7 Camilo De La Cruz - Part One

• VERA
• Panicking, I looked around for a place to hide, and then I noticed what appeared to be an alley on my right between the wall fence and the building, and I ducked into it without thinking before he could see me. The thought of Laurent almost catching me sent me into a panic, and I tried to walk as fast as I could, which was not very fast given my condition.
• I came across a small gate that was not locked, so I opened it, taking care not to rattle the chain that hung loosely on it. The further down I went, the darker it became, but it was still warm because there was no wind. However, my moment of relief was cut short when I stumbled on something hard and nearly fell.
