~CHAPTER 45~
"So what now?" I softly whispered out, the silence for the past fifteen minutes wearing down my shoulders like a physical weight.
Aria and Frank had been quiet since they revealed the staggering amount of money they owed, each lost in their own thoughts.
I tried to break the silence, again with my low stammering voice. "Can't we just maybe run, escape this city and hide in another? Yeah, let's do that, hmm." I pushed myself up, bumping Aria gently so she would look at me.
Aria's eyes met mine, her expression was so damned sad, filled with resignation. "We can't," she pushed her legs into her chest hugging them.
"They have eyes and ears, everywhere. Even if we hid inside a rock, they're bound to sniff us out. We tried before, and we didn't succeed, anyway. So, nope, out of options."
Frank stirred,opening one eye slowly. "Aria's right. We've tried running before. It didn't work. They always find us."
