The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 101

Chapter 0101 Chapter 0101 Judys POV The night passed slowly ; I wasnt able to make any progress on our escape .

Not that I thought we could escape , but I thought maybe I could find a weak point in the cage or have some kind of plan before the morning .

Without there being any windows , it was difficult to know for sure what time it was .

Irene leaned against me , and she ended up falling asleep from all the crying shed been doing .

But I wasnt able to bring myself to actually fall asleep .

I stayed awake the entire night , and when I heard the footsteps creaking on the floorboards above us , I made Irene lie down on the ground , while I lay beside her .

I was still hoping they wouldnt touch us if they thought we were asleep .

Whoever sent them after us wanted us to know why we were captured , and they wanted our reactions filmed .

I wasnt going to give them what they wanted closed my eyes and forced my heart to stop beating as quickly as it was .

I needed to calm myself down if I wanted to pull this off .

As time passed , I heard the footsteps getting closer , and soon the basement door was opening .

The scent of rogue filled my nose , and I started to grow nauseous from it .

I could hear their murmured voices as they descended the stairs and walked their way towards us .

Are they seriously still out ? One of them grunted .

How much of that stuff did you give them ? Enough to knock them out for a few hours .

They should have been awake by now .

Do you think they are faking ? Another one asked .

Go in there and find out .

My entire body went rigid at the sounds of that .

They were going to come into the cage and find out if we were lying about being passed out ? Irene was asleep right now and if she felt them near us , she might wake up .

I worried about what they were going to do .

I heard the cage door unlocking and then heavy footsteps made their way over to me .

I felt cold fingers on the nape of my neck , trying to find a pulse .

Shes alive , he said ; his voice was so close to my ear that I had to stifle a shudder .

Then I felt his fingers trailing down my neck and across my exposed shoulders .

His touch burned my flesh , and I hated the feeling of him this close to me .

Shes a looker , he said in a raspy tone like he was trying hard to keep himself together .

Then , to my horror , Irene stirred in her sleep .

I think shes awake , the rogue shouted to the others W … whats going on ? I heard Irene murmuring .

My heart sank at the sound of her voice .

Yeah , shes awake all right , he confirmed , eagerness clear in his tone .

Oh , this is going to be so much fun .

What ? No ! Get away from me !! Irene shrieked as she tried to scramble away .

I couldnt pretend to be asleep anymore , my eyes flew open , and I spotted 2 more rogues outside the cage , watching everything going down and a much larger one inside the cage trying to pin Irene to the ground .

She was a squirmer and she was screaming at the top of her lungs , rattling my brain .

Get away from her ! I screamed , trying to kick the man off her .

The other one is awake ! Another rogue said as he charged towards me .

He grabbed me and tried to keep me away from Irene and the rogue attacking her .

I heard the rogue slapping Irene across the face , and she screamed and cried out in pain as he continued to lay his filthy hands on her .

The cuffs burned into my flesh from each movement I made so I tried to fight with mainly my legs , but to no prevail .
