Chapter 286

"Pietr?"

The Rasha stopped and turned towards Mandelbaum's voice. "In here."

Rabbi Mandelbaum stepped into the room. "Why did you leave your post?"

Sweat ran down my back. Yay me for pulling this trick off, but I had no idea how long I could hold it.

I counted off the seconds while the Rasha told the rabbi he'd heard something, Mandelbaum told him he'd been imagining things, and they then discussed a few details about the funeral.

Ohmigod, shut up already.

At the forty-two second mark, my shield started to fail from my feet up.

It was dumb luck that they didn't look down before leaving the room and closing the door.

I collapsed against the dresser, my entire body trembling as I shook the hookah. It was heavy and water sloshed around inside it. I held it up by my ear and shook it again. The water wasn't just sloshing, it was quietly slapping against something.
