Will they escape? Find out now!

Chapter 10-The Greatv Escape

Sonny's POV

We've been in this room for a few hours now, and I'm panicking. Is everyone OK at home? Will me and Chad make it out? Will this whole mess be sorted out? I look to Chad, who's suffering as bad as I am. He's trying to stay strong though, being the older sibling. He smiles, a weak one, but he smiles.

"Don't worry," He says, "We'll get out of here."

I smile back, just as weak, "I hope so."

"I know so." He says, "We'll be fine."

I decide to look around at our surroundings to see if there's anything that can help us escape. I look over to a desk in the corner, which has a few things on top of it. Pen, pencil, notepad…scissors. Wow, that's a dumb thing to leave around in this situation. I try to reach for them, hoping I'll be able to cut the ropes. I crawl along on my knees and get to the desk.

"Hang on, Chad," I say, "I'm gonna get us out."

I somehow get the scissors into my right hand, and I struggle to cut the rope. Somehow, I cut them, and I'm finally free. I walk over to Chad and cut his ropes too, trying not to make too much noise. Luckily, James went out hours ago, but the masked guy is outside the door, sleeping. If we wake him, we're toast.

We look around, trying to find an alternative exit. I smile at the sight of a vent on the other side of the room.

"Chad, I've found our exit." I say.

"Where?" He asks, and I point to the vent.

"Uh, no," He says, "I am not going in there."

"Chad," I say.

"I will not go in there. I'll leave the crawling through vents to your weird little friend."

"Would you rather stay here?" I ask, and he thinks.

"Good point," He says, and we head over to the vent. Chad jumps for it, but it's too high, and we can't reach it.

"What now?" Chad asks. I look around and see a few things that will help. I quietly pull the desk over from the other side of the room, then stack a chair on top, then another chair…

"What are you doing?" Chad asks.

"This could be the only way we can get up there," I say, and he laughs.

"You're crazy Sonny Munroe," He says, and I smile.

"But you love me anyway." I say and he nods.

I start to climb up my little tower, shaking a little.

"You sure this is safe? Chad asks.

"You scared?" I ask, and he laughs.

"Chad Dylan Cooper fears nothing."

"Yeah, you keep saying that."

I get to the top of my tower and get into the vent. Now I know why Zora's always in the vents, this is fun!

"C'mon, Chad!" I say, and he warily climbs up. He's almost at the top when the bottom chair starts to wobble. This leads to the whole thing crashing down, and Chad almost going down with it. I grab him quickly, and pull him up. At that moment, the masked guy comes in. Oops. He was probably woken up by the tower falling.

"Hey!" He notices us in the vent, and I start to crawl along in the vent, Chad following close behind. We hear some clattering, and I guess that the masked guy is trying to catch up with us.

"Quicker!" Chad yells.

"I can't!" I reply. I look through the next hole, to where I see the front door I remember coming through earlier. I tell Chad that we have to jump out. I open the hole and jump down.

"Come on, Chad," I say, and he jumps down warily, before we run straight for the door. We get out, unscratched and laughing.

"We'd better get going," I say, "My car's just down the road."

We get to my car and the masked guy still hasn't caught us. I start the engine, but before we get going, Chad gets a text.

"It's from my Dad!" He says.

"What is it?" I ask, as he reads it. His face falls.

"What's wrong?"

"They've got the hospital tests."

"And…?"

He looks at me, sad, regretful. "It's true. We're both Goldfarbs."

OMGOMGOMG! :O :'(

It's confirmed...or is it?
