The plump dark woman, who was draped in a bulky sweater and had eyes of a rat, which were proudly adorned by her glasses. 'Madam Kings. I can never forget you in my life for all you've done for me and my family'.

Chloe walked out into the cold night amidst the noise of people around celebrating the New Year. She clambered up a tree and saw the rope meant for her. She used it to drop down to the other side of the compound. Chris was already waiting for her, and he helped her down. Then, covered her in a big jacket.
