I pressed myself against the wall as the door opened and a line of yellow light spilled into the corridor.
Daniel’s shadow stepped out.
And behind him… another man.
Daniel stopped.
—Who’s there? —he asked.
That wasn’t my brother’s voice.
It was the voice of someone ready to do the worst.
At that moment, something saved me.
My phone vibrated.
Alarm.
The alarm I had set earlier before doing any of this:
“LEAVE. NOW.”
The vibration made a faint sound.
