Chapter 56

Kathrine and Hailey soon arrived at the restaurant and snuck around to the back alley. There didn't appear to be anyone around; perhaps they were early? Kathrine decided to find a good spot to hide while they waited. There were many dumpsters and little else in the narrow alley.

"Well," Kathrine sighed. "This is not a good place to spy from." She put her hands on her hips and looked at Hailey. Hailey was staring up in the air. Kathrine followed Hailey's gaze up to the balcony that was protruding from a third story window. "Oh, you're good."

"Getting up there is another thing," Hailey said copying Kathrine's stance.

"Well, umm-I think we can climb that," Kathrine said, pointing at a thick water pipe that went up the outside wall.

"Why not?" Hailey agreed.

The two women gracefully climbed the pipe up to the balcony and hid.

"I really wish I had brought a watch or phone or something. It's gotta be close to one by now," Kathrine stated.
