Tattooed Luna novel (Kristen and Alec) novel Chapter 436

As the footsteps pasted, my body relaxed. Instant relief flooded me. Not that the danger was over but the key was to take one obstacle at a time. I was relying so heavily on our men that it was a little anxiety ridden.

“Not detected. Hold position.” I heard in my ear. Shifting over, I stayed below the bush but moved more on my legs so I was in a better position if I was discovered. More than once, I just keep telling myself to stay calm. Calm heart, calm breathing. Adrenaline kept trying to take over, making me want to just rambo out of the bush and attack everyone. However, I kept pushing that down and taking things slow. Slow and steady wins the races.

“In ten seconds, reach up and check if the window is unlocked.”

Looking up, the window was only about five feet off the ground. However, I was still going to have to jump to get over it. Normally, this wouldn’t be an issue but I was judging my time frame was incredibly limited.

“Now!” I was ready. Quickly standing up, I barely lifted it and shut it again before going back down under the bush.

“It’s unlocked.” I heard someone say.

“What’s inside that room?” Alec asked. I couldn’t judge his tone but he sounded calm.

“Appears to be a storage room. I can see shelves and boxes.”

“So, stuff that can fall and create noise.” Alec summarized with annoyance.

“It’s either that, find another window or walk through the front door.”

“There appears to be a cellar door in the back.” Another guy side, unsure. “No visual inside.”

“That’s too risky. There could be prisoners or fuck who knows what.” Alec sighed.

“He has about a fifteen second window to stand up, open the window and close it before the thermal will catch him.”

Well fuck me. I couldn’t give him them my input as I kept hearing footsteps walk past me. One small whisper and I am found. Fuck, breathing too loudly and I am found.

“Colt, you are going to have to make a quick judgement call. Open the window and assess what it looks like. If you need to close it and wait for the next window, do so.” Alec was being very direct. He didn’t like this plan but we didn’t have many options.

“Your window is in five….four…three… two… NOW!”
