Kaija was deep asleep when she felt a hand clamp tightly over her mouth and someone gently shaking her shoulders. Her eyes slowly opened, and when she did, she almost screamed when she recognized the silhouette of Juho's face in the dim light, but his hand had already silenced her.
Once she'd calmed down, he whispered into her ear, his voice urgent, "Get changed now. Then come outside. I'll be at the door. It's time for you to leave." Then he slipped out of the room without another word.
Kaija was stunned. Her heart was still pounding wildly in her chest. Had Juho finally gotten what he wanted from Charles? Was it because of that video from before?
Her gaze landed on the jeans and sweater from the first day she was captured, neatly folded at the corner of the bed. She quickly shook off her useless thoughts and got dressed. None of that mattered now. She'd better move fast before he changed his mind.
