Chapter 23

• Ana sat silently without talking to anybody. She didn’t want Nick’s curious eyes following her everywhere to suspect that she was up to something. She decided that this will be a matter that she will handle alone and not even Nick will be able to help her.
• She planned to sneak out in the middle of night, when Nick is still asleep. She knew she was going to put their good relationship in to jeopardy. All she could think about was her little girl in danger. Other matters will be sought out later. The men in uniform will also get in to trouble but she knew there was no going back.
• Ana went to the kitchen. She searched for the sedative which she normally takes whenever she is unable to sleep. The bottle still has contents in it enough for one dose. Nick is a fun of hot tea at night, so she made him some but put in the sedative to make him fall asleep as she will be leaving. Ana knew he will never let her go easily.
