The downstairs was calm, without anything unusual; knowing that Ivana was safe, Lucas Walker breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned back, intending to pick up the two children, when a soft sound suddenly came from the passage where the three emerged, as if something had fallen.
Lucas Walker raised a hand to shield the three behind him, signaling them not to make any noise. Olivia Parker immediately pulled the two children behind her, and Perry Walker slipped slightly while retreating, making a soft sound.
The little guy raised his hand to cover his mouth, ensuring he made no sound.
Lucas Walker held his gun ready at the exit, prepared to shoot.
In the corridor, Phoebe stopped, listening intently.
He knew there were people outside the door, and he could tell there was more than one.
"Gepard, Perry, is that you?!"
He asked softly, suppressing his voice.
