Chapter 96 (Escaping)

I had planned everything with Beckett. He said we should leave in the evening, that the guards were looking for me everywhere right now. But I was worried about him. What if Valerio found out? This was risky, and Valerio, the man I knew, would likely end him. But Beckett had assured me not to worry about him, that he would be fine, that he would make sure nobody saw him. It sounded good, but it was hard to convince my restless heart. So here I was, sitting on his bed, praying for the night to arrive quickly.
