Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1245

"What are you guys doing? Where are you headed?"

Blake stepped forward, his tone softening. "Sir, we might need to step out for a bit, but don't worry, we won't be causing any trouble."

But the security guard wasn't having it. With the situation being so dire and all orders to stay put, he was getting irritated. "I've said that no one's allowed out. Don't you understand the seriousness of the situation? Go back where you came from, no one's going out."

Rosalie started to panic when she heard this. "Sir, we really do have an emergency. My family member is infected at home and can't take care of themselves, and I—"

"Go back. I said no one's allowed out. Your relative's infected, huh? And if you get infected and come back, what then? You'll spread it to the whole neighborhood. Have you thought about the consequences?"

The security guard had a point, but Rosalie couldn't afford to hesitate. "Sir, I swear that if I get infected, I won't come back. Don't worry."

"How do I know you won't come back?"

Rosalie was getting desperate. "You know what I look like. If I come back infected, just don't let me in."

The security guard thought for a moment, then shook his head. "That's not going to work. How would I know if you're infected or not?"

Seeing their discussion was getting nowhere, Blake stepped in, pulling Rosalie aside. "It looks like the guard isn't budging. We might not be able to go out."

Rosalie was growing increasingly anxious. "This won't do. Time's ticking, and I must go back."

Blake observed her pacing back and forth, feeling uneasy. Suddenly, an idea struck him. "How about we just climb over the back wall of the neighborhood?"
