Chapter 89

The four of us wore the uniforms Ms. Cat sent and went off to look for props to use for our delivery act. Once ready, we made out attempt at getting through the kitchen backdoor.

"We're here to deliver the supplies," Gene spoke first when the kitchen staff saw us at the door.

They asked no further questions and allowed us to drop off the ‘supplies'.

While they weren't looking, we quietly slipped into the room with a winding staircase. I was glad it all went smoothly.

"Let's go," said Mr. Shark as he led the way up.

The rest of us followed behind him. My heart raced as we got closer to the next floor. I feared what was ahead of us.

"We'll make it out of this together." Gene squeezed my hand.

That was all he said, but it was enough to calm me down.

Mr. Shark stopped at the door leading to the second floor office. He twisted the knob and opened the door slightly, just enough to take a peek inside.

"It's empty," he said.
