CHAPTER 30

  "What are you up to Maddison?" asked Johnson as he could see that she was up to something. She was unable to hide the nervousness on her face. She was not good at hiding her emotions. At least not in front of him.

  But she didn't answer him. Taking a step back she came close to him and held his hand in hers and took him inside and followed her without saying a word like a lost child.

  As they entered the foyer, Maddison removed her heels.

  Seeing that the living was pitch black dark, Johnson moved his hand to switch on the right but Maddison blocked his hand with hers and said,

  "Not yet!"

  "It's not even my birthday today? What are these people doing?" mumbled Johnson in his head.

  "Follow me", said Maddison and switched the flash on her phone. In that faint light, Johnson could see that there was a sparkle in her eye, a strange curiosity and innocence like that of a kid. And with a smile on his face, he just followed her.
