Katie's POV The drive across the lake was filled with silence and night noise. Everyone listened closely for anything that sounded remotely suspicious majorly because no one knew what was to be expected. Before we got far Killain ordered the boat to be stopped out of the blue.With me seated beside Shedrack and Roman, who was opposite Ryan and Stephen. It was easy to see where comfort was found. Killian all had our attention before he had to command it. “Okay, so I have one more thing out of my heart. Because we all have different faces, I would like to find something uniform we could all wear, to make sure we can identify each other by something else.” He dragged out a black duffle bag from beneath the seat.“Sorry but I do not wear strange clothes.” Jessica said.“You do not wear strange clothes? But you get your clothes from the freaking mall?! Be for real!” Ryan immediately spoke up, the clear disgust in his tone as he drew closer to the edge
Katie's POV The son of the beast tag soon made sense.At first all I saw was the view of a man holding on to the thick bar rods, then the red markings started to glow in the night again. The ground began to vibrate, trembling beneath our feet. If I didn't know better, I would have thought it was a level one earthquake. We witnessed it happen, the cracking of the side walls where the hinges disappeared into the concrete. Killian groaned out, sounding like he was going through intense pain until he finally let go of the bar.He took a step back from it.“You know if this completely falls off, we are not only going to be able to go through but creatures from within would be able to come out too, right?” Roman said to Killian whose head was still faced down and his sleeves rolled up.“Yeah…” He sighed. “That is the least of my worries right now. We have a few hours till they realize the protection is gone. I would let them worry about it. Let's go.” His voice is weak.With one last final
Killian's POV“Go down!!!” I yelled at them. Even though I was the one standing in the middle of the street, a clear challenge presented before those who lurked in the dark. I respected the rules, presenting yourself in the dim light of the night boldly to show that you are without fear. Yet the cowards chose to shoot at them. They could obviously tell from their loose lips and careless walking steps that they have never been in Monaco.The truth is I could have prepared them for everything but that would have been too much pressure on them. Just seeing their reaction to the mission made sure that they weren't ready. They say experience was the best teacher but that didn't take away all the risk that it entailed.“Cowards!” I yelled into the night, angry that they would always stoop so low no matter how much they try to uphold their rules.I could see them all staring at me with wide eyes that begged for their next step.“Be vigilant. Use your sixth sense, there attacks are aimed ran
Katie's POV“Did he just figure me out?” Lucy asked. I shrugged, waiting for him to say his piece first. “I don't understand what you mean…” I said to him, He didn't make any comment afterward. We stopped by the tap site where we were supposed to take the water.“We need a container or something. Something to hold the water.” We both looked around, searching for something that could hold some water. Lucky enough there was an emptied trash bottle laying around. I didn't have the luxury of chasing its sanitary health, Instead I prayed its last content wasn't something I should be worried about.Roman filled it with water then spoke some gibberish words to it beneath his breath. “There you go.” I took it from him, lifting my eyes to meet him for the next instructions.“Just use it for your face, light you are trying to wash off a stain.” He added.“Would it hurt?” I stared at the bottle in doubt.
Katie's POV“Wait…” Roman held onto my hand as we got in. I looked down at where our hands were joined, that was when it occurred to him to let me go. We both still had our overalls and with hands intertwined, we might as well just be that kind of couple.“I was thinking…we can't just go there and order up some bloody week old fetus or whatever the fuck it's called. With how systemic and pose-nonchalant they are, there is bound to be a suspicion arising.” Je said to me. Being this was a real life situation, I couldn't help but give him his flowers.“That’s actually smart.” I applauded him.“I graduated from highschool at 16 with a 4.0 cgpa. Of course—” I gave him a ‘seriously' look and I was sure that he understood it at once, “Sorry, that wasn't the time to brag about academia. Anyways, we need to match but like also show some difference…”“That is a pretty much expressive way to say you want us to look like couples.” I rolled my eyes, peeling the top half of my overalls and tied it
Killian's POVThe moment I dropped the phone and stood to my feet, Shedrack followed me with an accusatory look in his eyes.“The record room? That wasn't part of the plan. Why can't you get it yourself, I mean you are strong enough to survive whatever comes after.” Shedrack folded his arms and squared up in my face. I knew he was only being protective of his special friend whether he decided to say it or not. I was just done with explaining myself.“If there will be any hint of information that talks about Hannah Martins, it's going to be inside of those record rooms.” I said, choosing to move out of his way so I could prepare for the backlash. There had to be security of some sort, they weren't stupid enough to leave their most prized asset—which is the information they hold of really powerful people that got away with dubious shit. “There is more than one record room?” He stood toe to toe with me again.“Okay, dude if you don't back t
Killian's POV Sirens blew out into the night. I watched his eyes widen.“What have you done…” Shedrack grabbed at his hair going straight for the only window in sight that looked into the clinic. Of course you couldn't see shit, just the red flashes from the alarms on the inside.“If you can fight, come with me. If you can't, find somewhere safe—” I thought of the word ‘safe’ and laughed to myself.“This is funny to you, huh? You just do whatever you like because you are strong and shit, then the rest of us can go fuck it, right?” Shedrack yelled, coming back to me. All I could do was sigh. Out of all of them, he was the only one who was actually untouchable because his mother is crazy. It would be self harm doing anything to him. I could expose his family secrets to him just to take him off the moral high horse he loved to ride.But what would Katie think of me then? I barely got to her good side. “Shedrack, do
Katie's POVWe stumbled out of the clinic, the sick green interior and the dingy smell of wetness still hung over my head. It felt like a heavy veil clothed upon my skin and I wanted to rip it off so bad, I fell to the ground gasping for air.Roman came out a few seconds later, I don't know what held him back but he took a bit longer.“Come on, get up Katie. The fight isn't over, now isn't the time to rest.” Roman gingered. I stretched my weak hand to him, allowing him to drag me up on my feet and pull me in the direction of the side of the building. Before we got there, Shedrack appeared.“I can't find Ryan! I can't find Ryan guys and I have no memory of him or when I last saw him.” Shedrack panicked. I could see in his eyes that he has been crying for a bit.“I am so glad you guys are safe.” He cried, hugging Roman tight but he didn't hug him back, then he embraced me next. The dread returned in Shedrack's eyes. “Ryan…”
