Adam didn't take the man's words seriously and handed the phone back to Luna,
"I can't take you with me. They are after me for now. I will hide you here, and you can come out when your father reaches here."
Adam carefully helped Luna climb into one of the large empty boxes. It smelled a little dusty, but it was big enough to fit her.
He placed the box beside the cupboard, making sure it looked like it had been there all along.
"Listen, Luna. Stay inside this box until you hear someone knock three times. Got it?" Adam said softly.
Luna nodded, her hands trembling a bit. "Three knocks. Okay."
"And tell your dad the same thing. Ask him to knock on the box three times." Adam repeated.
"I will. Thank you..." Luna whispered, telling the same thing on the phone, before Adam carefully closed the lid of the box.
Adam looked around the room one last time, making sure Luna was well-hidden.
Then he glanced at Mike, still slumped on the floor. Sighing, Adam shook him awake.
