The siblings looked at each other. Even though they were in the dark, Lauren Torres was sure that she saw the helplessness in their eyes.
"Mr. Hayes! We... We're going for breakfast!"

Mr. Hayes turned his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall again to confirm the time.
"It's four something in the morning? And you're going for breakfast?"
Lauren Torres nodded. Then, she quietly tugged at Franklin Torres's clothes. Franklin Torres nodded as well. Seeing that their older brother agreed, the other two also nodded.
"That's right. We're going for breakfast!"
Lauren Torres thought that Mr. Hayes should no longer be suspicious.
However, what Mr. Hayes said next made it even more difficult for Lauren Torres to keep up this good-intention lie.
