The black bags my clothes were delivered in are too big to be useful, but it’s fine. I don’t need to takemuch with me. Just a good coat and a solid pair of boots. I’ll figure everything else out on the way.
Once I’m dressed, I kneel in front of the door and start on the lock. Seconds later, I hear a click.
“No f*****g way,” I breathe.
Can it really be this easy?
I decide not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I open the door as quietly as I can and step out into thecorridor. Only one of the hallway lights is on, making the shadows beyond cluster close and thick.
It strikes me that I’m walking through the cabin without a weapon. Maybe I can pick one up when Ipass through the kitchen.
I make it all the way downstairs before I hear movement. Unfortunately, it’s coming from the kitchen.N
