The building's structure is like a hotel. The elevator is designed in the center, with two lines of small rooms going
around it. We were in one of the rooms on the inner lines, and the light we saw cthrough the room on the
outer circle.
| didn't know this until Liam Ryan dragged both Ava andout of the room, through a pitch-dark hallway, to a
huge hole in the center of the building.
The half-built elevator shaft is like the enormous mouth of a monster lurking in the dark, waiting for us to drop in.
The back of our chairs are inches away from the edge. | dare not to move, turn, or even peek at the abyss behind

He walks over slowly, and I feel like I'm back to that day, when | was just a seven-year-old, lost in the woods. He
was just like this-
wearing his tiny, children's suits all serious, his face covered in sweat and mud, but none of that could outshine
the smile on his face when he reached his hand over me, and he said- "Whose lost kitten is this?"
Tears burst out ofwhen he repeated those exact words, to Ava.
Ava is crying, too, giving no reaction to his words, but wiggles forward with pleading eyes as if that could get her
out of the ropes.
