Chapter 26

"Open up! Who's there?" came a hoarse and loud voice.

All of us were staring at each other in horror.

"What do we do?" I whisper yelled.

"No time to waste." Maddie ordered and took the sledgehammer from Sally and strode over to Karen.

"You tell them that you are here or else I'll slam this right on your head! Understood?" she whispered in a low voice.

Karen nodded her head furiously and shouted in a shaky voice "It's me Karen. I'm fine! Go away."

After that there was no more banging heard and we could hear the sound of footsteps walking away.

The adrenaline rush in all of us helped to come up with a plan quickly.
