Ben was woken up by the beeping of an alarm, it was still dark outside, so he couldn’t work out why it was going off.
“I can’t turn it off,” someone whispered, but Ben couldn’t tell from the voice who it was.
“Shhh, pass it here.” Someone responded, Ben thought it sounded like Luke, but he wasn’t sure.
“Put it under my pillow,” Ben, still tired and disorientated, couldn’t work out if this was a third voice, or the first one again.
“What’s going on? What’s that alarm?” It was Johnny, which lead Ben to guess that the other voices were Richard, Luke and Nathan. Although Johnny, and his twin brother James, had so far gone along with everything Richard had said and done, Ben knew that Richard wouldn’t include them if he had a plan involving getting up in the middle of the night. Ben just hoped this plan had nothing to do with him.
