Before either of us could respond, blood splattered the wall and his eyes glazed over. His body slumped forward, into my arms. Looking to the left, there was a tiny hole in the window.
There was a slight panic before I saw the door beside me. It was work opening the door without dropping him but I managed. It was a bathroom. Trying to make it look like it was just occupied, I turned the fan on, locked the door and shut it.
“Clean up any blood.” I heard just as I was about to shut the door.
“Don’t fucking shoot them through the temple then.” I barked as I grabbed a towel, got it wet and peaked out from the bathroom. The coast was clear, allowing me to quickly clean the blood. Tossing the towel into the bathroom, I made sure the bathroom was locked and left the room.
Following the noise, I made it to the stairs and paused. “We don’t have eyes down there.” I heard in my ear. Looking over, the window was right there. As soon as I went beyond the door, I was alone. Looking around, there wasn’t anyone around me.
“Blake?” I whispered.
“No word yet.” Alec said.
“I might need a distraction.” I said, voicing my thoughts.
“We got you covered.” A guy said, a little too excited.
“Alec, you remember what we talked about…” I looked out the window. I wasn’t sure it was Alec I was looking at but I found comfort in believing it was him.
“You can tell her yourself when you make it out.” Alec replied with a thick voice.
Nodding in understanding, my hand wrapped around the door handle. After taking a deep breath, the door opened and I slipped in. Complete darkness eloped me. The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed down the hall. How the fuck was I going to get Zac out of here was unknown. There was a door to my left. Opening it, it was just another fucking closet with bleach and stained bloody rags. We all had closets like this but this one was rather small.
“Set off another alarm. Get the men outside and I’ll figure it out from there.” I whispered.
“Seriously? That will bring Vin out and make all the guards mobile.” Someone said over my ear.
“The other option is me killing all these fuckers and them knowing we are here. Neither option is good but if there is a chance I can do this without being noticed, the better.”
“Colt..” Alec said.
“Do it, Alec.” I didn’t hear anything but about two minutes later, I heard another alarm sound.
