Chapter 219: Part 6

Talya

I barely slept until the sun came over the horizon. That's when I passed out from exhaustion. It was not what I had planned. My nerves were on edge because we were in danger. I woke to the smell of coffee and food. Cecily and Rondy sat at the small table in the corner of the room near the window.

"What time is it?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes.

"Eight. I didn't think you'd ever wake up," replied Rondy.

"Didn't sleep until this morning," I said on my way to the bathroom. I shut the door firmly behind me and ignored my empty stomach. I would eat in the car. After relieving my bladder, I washed my face and brushed my teeth. I took a last look at my swollen, sleep-deprived eyes in the mirror and walked out. "We're leaving now."

Rondy had a piece of bacon halfway to his mouth.

"Save it and we'll eat in the car. We're in danger every second we stay here."
