*Xin Lei*
We reached just near one abandoned shop that was desolate and shut off. The shutters were down, and there was no sign of any life.
I typed. "We are here. The main shutters are closed. We have to check for any windows."
Bai Li nodded.
We turned around the backside and found a small opening. We cautiously approached it, hiding from the view.
I gently pinned my ear, but I couldn't hear any voices. I peeked from the gap, and I saw no shadows of anybody's presence.
Bai Li softly whispered. "I sense that nobody is here."
I nodded and held his hand to sign in ASL. "It doesn't seem like anybody is here."
"Let's go inside but be on your guard."
My gun was ready in my hands. I pushed the door open and stepped inside. The shop was small and with hardly any places to hide. At just first glance, I saw that nobody was really here.
