"You can run but you can't hide!"
I heard a deep voice say

"I don't think she's here, boss"
a new voice spoke

"She has to be here! I saw her run in this direction!"

I tried to stay quiet but it was difficult.
I was out of breath but I tried to breathe as quietly as possible.

I was in a very uncomfortable position.
This tree isn't the perfect tree to climb, but I had no choice.

"Who is he and how does he know my name?"

"What does he want from me?"

"What is going on!?"

A million thoughts were running through my mind.

I pulled myself out of these thoughts when I noticed it was oddly quiet.
I looked through the leaves, he wasn't there. I looked around to be sure and there was no one there.

I slowly climbed down and looked around again to make sure they weren't waiting for me around the corner.

"Finally", I sighed and took a few deep breaths.
