"Mr. Andrews! Mr. Andrewes!"

I winced slightly when I heard the sound of my name being shouted repeatedly from outside just moments later. A chill ran down my spine when I saw the bright flash of headlights coming down the street from a nearby vehicle, indicating that someone must have been following us here tonight. I instantly glanced out the window beside me while I listened carefully for more sounds of approaching vehicles. There were only three of them…but given that we'd already encountered a gang of men like these ones earlier today, it didn't take a genius to figure out exactly what might be happening right now.

"What?!" Max exclaimed angrily as he hurried toward the door behind his desk. "Did you see them? Who was it?"

I could hear Jimmy trying to calm his father down as he responded. "It's alright, Dad…they didn't follow us this far."

But it was too late.
