PREPARING TO BREAK OUT

SERAPHINA A look of understanding washed over Herrera's face, and she let out a relieved sigh. "You're playing a game with him.""It isn't a game," I said, stepping closer to the table. "It's survival. Come sit down."We sat side by side on the edge of the bed. I kept my eyes on the hallway, listening carefully for the sound of Lance's hammer against the fence posts outside."I've been watching him carefully these past few days," I told Herrera in a quiet voice. "Lance leaves the house every morning at seven o'clock to inspect the guard rotation. He leaves the back door locked, but he keeps the key in his leather vest pocket.

He had no idea he was sitting in a room with a prisoner who was counting down the minutes until his downfall.Until his doom!Around eight o'clock, Herrera visited my room one last time under the excuse of getting a fresh blanket from the hall closet.She stepped into my room and leaned against the wall, her face pale, but her hands were completely still now. The earlier fears in her eyes had turned into focus."Everything is set," she whispered softly.
