Chapter 26 - We have to move

Haley wokeup to discover she haf slept off on the chair. She quickly looked at the bed to see Pedro was still sleeping in the exact position she had seen him sleep before she also slept. It was asif he never moved from that position. A quick glance at the giant wall clock in her room told her the time is 4:45am in the morning.

She lazily forced herself up and jotter with a pen fell to the ground. They must have been lying on het while she slept.

Events of last night came rushing into her mind. She had been thinking of a question befor she slept.

"Who could be the owner of BigJo? ' That was one question she didn't really border herself about in her first investigation. During that case she had always met with the lowers and the managing director. But never with the real owner.

They must be a reason why Pedro decided to leave that as a question on her jotter. He is trying to tell her something and she will have to find out what but first she must take him out of her room first. If at all he is really a killer she would not like it to be seen that she was helping in from her own room.

She quickly took steps towards him to wake him up but as she was about to touch him by the shoulders he suddenly held her hand firmly as she stiffen in shock.

She looked at him but his eyes was still shut.

"Did he just sleep hold my hands? She asked herself thinking it would be very impossible for anyone to do.

His eyes suddenly flung open as he looked around with a suspicious look on his face. The look on his face relaxed when he noticed she was the only one in the room with her. He released her hand but still kept his gaze on her.

"What did you just try to do? He asked looking at her accusely

"Nothing, I was only trying to wake you up. How did you know I was about to touch you? She asked. It was her own turn to be suspicious of him.

"Was he also possessing some kind of supernatural powers? "She questioned in her head as he sat up.

"A man who is danger doesn't sleep too deep or else he would be killed in his sleep" Pedro replied her with a serious look on his face.

He glance towards the clock in her room and Haley knew he was going to question the purpose for waking him up by that time.

"We need to go now. Now that most people are still sleeping it would be the best time to sneak you out " she informed him

"Where are we going? Pedro asked curiously as he finally put on the cloth she had earlier given him.

"I will be taking you to a safe house. It will be safer for you there " she replied as she herself got ready to go.

She would question him about that question he left when they get into the Carmen for now she is more focused on taking him out to her own personal safe house. It is a location that is known to only her as she discovered it during one of her missions in a nearby game reserve.

"I am ready, can we go now? Pedro asked without an expression on his face.

Haley thought it was weird that he didn't even question her about her decision to move him.
