I neared the door, and pressed my ear against it. I didn't hear a sound, or rather, nothing I could trust. I hadn't seen anyone before Hunter pushed us both into the room, but why would he have done that? There had to be a reason. Loudly, Alexia said, "You hurt my f*****g—" "Keep quiet!" I hissed angrily. "You're going to get us caught!" She pulled a face, but I didn't keep looking at her. I had better things to worry about. I pressed my ear to the door again, but to no avail. I was beyond curious. I wanted to open the door and peer outside, but I couldn't risk myself that way. But if there were people out there, what about Hunter? Concern spiked inside of me, sticking to my insides like glue. I flattened my hand on the door as I waited. For noise. For his return. Anything. Thankf
