Penny tiptoed toward the mezzanine. Reaching the railing, she lowered her head and checked over the stair railing. When she was certain no one was around and that only the dim lights were on, she quietly carried on while tiptoeing.
However, instead of using the main entrance, Penny used the backdoor.
The problem she had was not sneaking out undetected at that point, but the long walk she had to make to make it through the high fences around the mansion. Good thing she knew there was a secret route out of the mansion without going through the main gates.
That was the garden.
"I think it's in here..." she muttered as she went on her knees, pushing the bushes out of her way. "It should be here."
Penny took off her bag and, in a matter of seconds, a flashlight was already in her hand. Lighting up the bush, she moved it away with the other. Her lips stretched as soon as she saw some broken metal bars of the fence behind the bushes.
The hole was small, but it could fit a child.
Penny wore her bag securely once more and was about to crawl her way inside, only to stop when a hand grabbed her bag. She froze instantly as her breathing hitched.
She was found.
"Penny, are you... sneaking out?"
Penny closed her eyes as her heart sank to the pits of her body. Of all the people she expected to find her out, the person to find out was no one but her father. Slowly, Penny looked back and smiled awkwardly. "Papa?"
"Penny" Charles sighed faintly, cocking his head to the side. "Where do you think you're going?"
"He he he."
Would it be too late for her to act like she was sleepwalking now?
"You're worried about the girl and her mother from earlier today, are you?" Charles guessed, watching her pursed her lips. "It's okay, Penny. I'm not angry
If Penny was more agile a little bit more, she would've crawled as fast as she could to leave. Her father might get angry, but she also didn't want to be stopped. Hence, she crawled her way back: and stood in front of him, wearing her most adorable and pitiful expression.
