Carmen
When the explosions started, I knew we were in trouble.
The thought of calling Nico occurred to me but recalling the trouble I heard in the background when I called him made me back off.
The last thing I wanted was to get him killed.
"What…what if they manage to blast the door open!" Vanessa asked, her voice full of panic as she continued to stare at her phone.
She had called the police a second time and they had assured her that men were on their way but she still looked unsettled.
Not that I could blame her.
If the door was blasted open we would die immediately.
Nothing less.
Something Martin seemed to have come to terms with as he simply sat on the ground with his eyes closed.
I couldn't help but wonder what thoughts were going through his head as I lowered my head between my legs.
The loud thumping sounds continued followed by another explosion that shook the ground hard enough to send me tumbling onto my side.
