He maintained his calm and could not make any noise, or he would be discovered immediately.
He gently placed the ceiling he had removed on the roof of the toilet, grabbed both sides of the hole in the ceiling with both hands, and jumped. Using the strength of his arms, he propped his body up. With as little noise as possible, he climbed to the ceiling and exposed his entire body above the toilet. Then, with little to no noise at all, he covered the ceiling he had taken down.
The moment he covered that ceiling, the door of the toilet was kicked open.
There was no one inside.
Lucy's eyes flickered.
Could it be that they had lost them?
