Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 123

Chapter 123:

Norah’s thoughts whirled as she caught snippets of conversation indicating someone was about to be moved. She strained her ears, trying to discern more.

Who could they be relocating?

A male voice drifted out, remarking on the attractiveness of their captive, hinting at a lascivious anticipation for what was to come. “Hilda, this one’s quite a catch. Seems like you’ll have quite the night.”

“Enough chatter. Hurry up!” came the sharp retort, laced with flirtation.

Laughter, both sultry and ominous, filled the air, sending chills down Norah’s spine.

Through the window, the silhouettes of four individuals became discernible, suggesting that Kason was indeed within their midst.

The challenge before Norah was daunting.

How could she possibly extricate Kason from the clutches of the Fox Alliance, especially when they were ensconced within a fortress teeming with adversaries?

Preliminary observations suggested the compound was a stronghold, potentially harboring upwards of a hundred members.

In moments that seemed to stretch with tension, two guards emerged from the room, the door closing behind them as they positioned themselves as sentinels.

“Even after all these years, Hilda’s weakness for handsome faces remains. Some things never change,” one of the guards muttered.

“Quiet! Lower your voice. If she catches you, you’ll regret it,” the other replied.

“Why hold back? What’s the harm in speaking the truth? She’s climbed the ranks, and now she indulges herself indoors while we stand watch outside. Let’s just quietly tune in to the goings-on inside.”

Meanwhile, Norah, ever the strategist, assessed the building’s layout. Styled like a rural bungalow, its single-story structure presented a challenge with securely locked windows and a closely watched entrance.

She faced the daunting task of infiltrating the building silently, a task made near impossible without creating a disturbance.

Concealed in the darkness, Norah weighed her limited options. Armed with only a dagger and crossbow bolts, bringing guns was out of the question due to the strict gun control laws of the country.

As Norah deliberated, the sound of stealthy footsteps caught her attention.

Who could that be? Pressing herself against the wall, she prepared for a potential threat.
