Chapter 122

Simon POV:

“Follow directly behind me so as not to make a sound and be careful,” I told Ashely and we exited the house we snuck around the back and behind the back of several other houses.

She followed me as I crouched low below the plantar boxes and window our pack mates going on about their daily lives not aware of how ruined the morning would be.

There were two guards at the main entrance to the keep and one to the back door i moved us in a diagonal. I got up behind the main keep watching the guard as we crawled and walked out to the woods at least thirty feet. I put her behind a tree dropping the bags and she held onto them.

“Stay here, if an alarm sounds at all you drop these extra bags and run there’s a truck five miles away up the main road get in and he’ll take you to town you turn yourself into the police,” I explained memorizing her face just in case it was the last time I ever saw her again.

So I couldn’t shoot him…yet. Luckily he was stupid, it was old and moronic and a bit cliche but I chucked a rock into the forest opposite me he went to inspect, I quickly entered the keep and he didn’t even notice.

There were minimal guards on the inside, and people still moved about Cyrus, Marcus, and other higher–ups living here. I walked through the back door mudroom past the kitchen and dining rooms and into the grand foyer.

The people who owned this place loved opulence and showed their wealth in their design marble gold and wrought iron gilded the house. Luckily Marcus had been ordered to keep it spotless so the floor was polished to a reflective sheen, I waited in the back hall for a few moments and then hurried over to the stairwell downstairs.

It was a straight shot to the guards desk I had two ways of playing it. Go in on the defense and jab them as quickly as I could and get horribly beaten to a pulp in the process or…

“Bently,” I entered the room as calmly as I could and yes his name was actually Bently. “Did I leave my phone here?”

“Fuck if I know,” he sighed looking at the monitors. “Damn bitch just sits there at least it was interesting when she escaped,” he whined putting his feet up on the desk as he looked at Annette sitting on her bed staring at her now grated window.

“She’s just sitting there? Still?” inched towards him, my palm sweaty, holding the dart in my hand.

“Yeah..,” the man next to him didn’t even notice the tailed off as I jabbed him his head dangling down to his chest.

I went over to his cohort grabbing another dart from my pocket not fully trusting myself with the pistols I’d fashioned, not in close quarters. “So bored he passed out ha!”
