Chapter 44

• Siobhan had tears brimming in her eyes but when I handed Eva to her she saw my fear and the courage I tried to hide it with and she blinked the tears from her eyes. She nodded at me.
• I turned to Aaron. “Let’s report this to Mr. Jorge. The rest of you please stay together in one room if possible and make sure no one leaves for any reason. Or you could all stay here for safety's sake, we’ll be back. Please, everyone, refrain from screaming, let’s be as calm as possible.”
