"no way, you have to stick to the same routine or people will get suspicious, I will text you their addresses and speakin of phones where's mine" "in your bag, but shouldn't we switch phones" "no, no one should notice the phone thing if we hide them" I grabbed my phone from my bag "here put in your number" Naomi took the phone then after a few seconds handed it back "there I'll call you once I make it to your house" 'sounds good" Knock Knock "Are you girls finished up in there" I sighed "okay you ready for this" Naomi laughed "do I really have a choice"
