   "I told them the truth like we planned, we just have to make sure the police don't find Tobias or Jake. At least not until we find the real killer." I explain, speaking in a hushed tone. Myra nods, her eyes sunken and drawn in. I gave her one last smile before climbing up the stairs, heading for Jake's room.
