The Dark Side of Fate

108 The Trip

~Sylvester~

After breakfast, we returned to our room, and the Kappa uniforms were already on the bed. Tamia had gone to use the bathroom while I inspected the uniforms. Leo was extra careful, and I had to commend him. I never imagined that I would ever wear something like this, but it had finally come to it. There were also false scent perfumes to help mask our scent completely. Leo was serious.

"We need to dress up. Our flight is at noon," Tamia said, returning from the bathroom. She knew the petite uniform was hers, so she reached for it.

"Kappa, right?" I said, and she nodded.

"We are still better off than Erik," She said, and I laughed.

"I heard Leo is putting him in a dress," I said, and she laughed.

"You can't blame Leo. I agree with what he is doing. Erik will be a red light if we dress him like a Kappa and try to transport him to the north looking like that. Leo and Amelia want the trip to be smooth, and that is how they plan to guarantee it." She said and started putting on the clothes.

"Would Erik allow them to shave his beard?" I asked, wondering how Erik would feel about his long beard.

"It is either that or he finds his way on his own," She said, and I was shocked. I knew Leo could be stern, but I didn't expect him to be that stern with Erik. I sensed Amelia's hand in it. She seemed like the mean kind. 2

Following Tamia's lead, I dressed in the Kappa jumpsuit camouflage uniform and put on the military face cap obscuring my face from detection. The uniform would make us insignificant to the paparazzi. We will be hard to identify.

I signed passes to permit us to board the flight to the north and enter the north without showing our passports. It was the only way to smuggle all of us to Lucland without revealing our identities, or else Leo would have to create fake identity cards for us. We did not have time to organise something of that magnitude. The letters would have to do.

We finished, and the Omegas came to get our luggage to load them in the van that would be transporting us to the airport.

I saw a look of nostalgia on Tamia's face when the omegas left with our bags. She paused to look around the room, looking sexy in the slightly oversize camouflage jumpsuit that held her waist beautifully. I recognised that look anytime. She felt like she was leaving home again.

"We will come often, darling. I promise. I am sure Liam and Harper would like it here," I said, and she turned to look at me and smiled. 1

"I miss this place," she confessed.
