“We could call for help. Out the window.”

“But the security guys just saw the whites walk into this house. If we call for help, they’ll shoot at us.”

“You’re exaggerating.”

“Maybe.”

“What a shitty situation.”

“It’s totally a shitty situation.”

The door to the garage opened. Thembinkosi and Nozipho vanished back into the wardrobe.
