Chapter 2106

Stella lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, when she heard the commotion outside. The clock blinked 3:00 AM.

Suddenly, Dave burst into her room, yanking her out of bed. "The Moore family has found us! We can't stay any longer. We need to get to the airport now. By 8 AM, we'll be on a flight, and we won't be setting foot in North America for at least six months."
