Calamity had been watching the movement outside by the window. She noticed that every half hour, someone would come to hand over, but she didn't know whether the hand-over person was repeated. If it wasn't, it meant that there were at least fifteen to twenty people in these four hours.
If there were three or five people, she still had some confidence. With twenty people outside, she also had to hold Louis and run for her life at the same time. Maybe she didn't have a chance to escape.
Louis has fallen asleep, and the children were very sensitive. He can feel Calamity's kindness and then believed her, so he stopped crying and fell asleep.
He was really tired. He had been kidnapped for two days and had been crying all the time. When he got tired, he went to sleep, and his dreams were not peaceful. He had not slept this soundly for a long time.
