After reading the entire book, neither Katherine nor Sophia had come back to open the door.
With no way of telling time besides the sun, which had barely moved at all, Alex was getting a little bored.
The sun was still relatively bright, shining through the porch, which was perfectly angled in front of him.
"There has to be another way to get inside."
Alex quickly got up from the porch and started looking for a way to get inside.
The window was off the table, as it was completely locked, just like the door.
So he headed towards the side of the house, only to face a fully blocked wooden fence that was almost double his height.
"I can climb this... Can I?"
After thinking for a bit, Alex quickly threw his back over the fence before taking a few steps back.
With a running start, he jumped as soon as his hand touched the fence, allowing him to latch on to the top.
