After school ends about 15 minutes later, you and Natalyn head back to her house. It didn't take long to get there considering you guys took the school bus. Once you guys arrive at her house, she opens her door and lets you in before closing it gently. However, just as you guys begin to settle in, you hear a noise upstairs.Both of you freeze and immediately glance over at each other.
"Did you hear that?" Natalyn asks softly.
You slowly nod. "Is your mom home?" you whisper to her.
"No, she's coming home late today. It can't be my brother either -- his plane didn't land yet. It's a burglar."
A chill makes its way up your spine. Natalyn notices your nervousness. "Shh, stay calm. I'll handle this. Just hide and make sure you don't go upstairs." She then tip toes over to the closet, opens the door, and pulls out a shiny baseball bat. She then starts to head over to the stairs but just as she climbs the first step, you hold her back.
"But what if you get hurt?" you ask nervously.
Natalyn shoots you a smirk. "I'm the daughter of a CIA director -- this is gonna be a piece of cake. Now hide, and don't get out until I come back down."
You nod and give her a "Good luck" before taking cover in a closet. She sends you one last reassuring look before disappearing up the stairs. Everything remains quiet for a while.
