‘It won't
be long now, they'll be here any minute.' Justin's voice spoke softly. It was
completely dark outside so the only things Wendy could see were Justin's shiny
eyes. She winked hers a couple of times to try to get used to the darkness, but
it didn't help. There was no moon so this was the perfect night to travel.
Besides the darkness there was also a complete silence. The only thing Wendy
was able to hear was Justin's breathing, which was calm. She couldn't believe
it! She was sure Justin was able to hear her very fast breathing AND her
heavily beating heart which was beating like crazy. She was extremely nervous
and for some scary moments she thought she was making the wrong choice. What if
Mrs. Jones had already died, or what if she said something annoying while
Justin was around. What if they wouldn't even be able to find the airport after
all in this darkness! Jenner would haunt her for the rest of her life with
stupid jokes and painful remarks. They were standing there for ages... or were it
just minutes? Wendy couldn't think straight anymore. Saying goodbye to all the
other rats might have looked easy, but actually it wasn't. She was indeed fed
up with all the nasty words, the laughing the act-like-she-wasn't-really-there,
but this also meant safety, shelter and food.
