DILEMMA

Chapter 35

Lucie's pov

We're in this enormous building and I'm totally freaking out internally, inspector Ethan looks deadpan and I'm over here panicking. He leads the way towards the elevator and presses the button then the elevator doors slides open, he enters first and I follow behind him.

"Okay lucie I'm gonna need you to hurry up with whatever you're gonna do." He says as he stares at me and I nod my head plainly. "No like I'm deadass serious, they are watching us literally watching us and any minute now they'll catch us." He says as he grasps my shoulder tightly sounding so solemn.

"Okay I understand...." I say as my voice falters and he removes a gun from the back pack then begins loading it with bullets. He says as he loads two more guns with bullets, "now when this elevator door opens, I'm gonna need you to run to wherever you're going and I'll cover you." I quickly nod my head hysterically and inspector Ethan hands me a gun and says, "this is war Lucie. I'm gonna need you to be strong."

I swallow my saliva and stare at the gun hostilely, he's completely right. This here that he started is war and now I'll pay back the retribution. Inspector Ethan says, "we need to be close together because he's watching us..." and I nod my head.

"Get ready the floor you pressed is about to open.." He says as he holds his gun firmly pointing it at the entrance and stare at the elevator door hysterically as my heartbeat beats quickly and my thumbs begin to tremble.

It's about to go down........

Jake's pov

We are all sitting still on the chairs as we await for Benjamin Carson, "shit I can't do this anymore!" Camilla cracks as she stands up. Grace stands up too as she says, "Camilla you're gonna get us killed..."

I stare at both of them and say, "Grace don't you think she's right..." Camilla does have a point, we can't sit still here waiting for Benjamin Carson to arrive. We need to escape and now that I know my sister is here to get us.

"There's nothing we can do, we're powerless remember..." Grace shows us her wrist which has the  silver bracelet. I snort as I cover my face with my palms, "we need to leave regardless, Lucie and inspector Ethan are here for us...." Camilla says as she stares at the door which is leading to the outside.

Grace stares at the transparent glass wall belittle as she frowns and that's shocking. What could be occupying her mind? She looks completely and utterly worried, I walk towards her and grasp her wrist which makes her quiver.

Camilla says loudly capturing our attention, "well Grace I'm not powerless because I'm getting this shit off of my wrist!" Camilla walks towards a wooden table that was at the end corner and we didn't notice, breaks the brown vase laying on top of the table then begins cutting the silver bracelet off.

I ignore her and ask Grace, "what's wrong?" She breathe out loudly and replies, "I'm worried...." her answer isn't satisfactory enough for me.

I stare into her brown eyes and say, "we're all worried Grace, but that can't be the reason why you look deplorable..." she folds her hands and says, "yeah I'm just so confused..."

I grasp her shoulder and say, "why are you confused?" Skeptically and she finally stares back at me then says, "Benjamin said I'm a genius like my father, does that mean he knew my father? I'm totally confused Jake and I don't know what to do."

"Don't worry you'll......" I'm cut by Camilla who shouts belligerently, "fuck this thing won't come off!"  She sounds and looks fraught, The door knob begins moving and we stare at it so hysterical, Camilla's shouting has lured the guards in here.

The door is burst open and a tall muscular man walks in with a gun in his hand, he has a stern facial expression, "why are you shouting?!" His voice sonorous and harsh, Camilla smiles and replies, "hmm well because I wanna get out of here..." the girl has nerves and confidence.

The guard laughs loudly at her face and says, "you must be crazy girl... you're not leaving here unless the boss says so..." Camilla stares at Grace abs winks at her, she stares back nonplussed then after a while smiles back.

Camilla says, "I'm leaving this place and there's nothing you can do about it." The guard tightens the grip on his gun and bites his teeth livid, he slowly walks towards Camilla as he says, "you're so stubborn and I hate that about you, if it wasn't for the boss. I would have killed you ages ago..."

Grace slowly and steadily makes her way towards a vase laying on the opposite side corner of where Camilla and the guard are at. I'm standing there totally confused at what these two have planned.

"So you're saying that you're a worker and follow rules while I on the other hand is very vital to Benjamin Carson and I don't follow any rules." Camilla is definitely trying to get on his last but nerves.

He forms a fist and walks towards Camilla, he's literally standing in front of her and he says, "I'm holding a gun and your little project powers can't save you.." he grins devilishly and Grace slowly limps behind him as she holds firmly the golden glass vase in her hand.

Camilla laughs at his face and says, "ooh my powers won't save me but I do have another secret weapon, a better one that will knock you out in a second..." the man seems perplexed and shakes his head confused.

Grace slowly taps his shoulder and he aggressively turns around as he says, "what!" Loudly and Grace quickly hits his head with the vase knocking him out in a sprint. Camilla shouts, "boom!" And laughs loudly as she brushes her shoulders proudly.

I walk towards them as I clap my hands at the both of them, "Camilla it seems you can mind control like Grace..." she smiles and nod her head. They definitely did a good job over here and now we can escape from this room.

Camilla grabs the gun in the mans hand and says, "okay let's go before this man wakes up.."

We make our way out of the room as I stare at the unconscious man laying on the floor, he must have a concussion because that was a blow to the head. Camilla is obviously leading the way out into the hallway because she has the gun, Grace in the middle and I behind the both of them.

I'm wondering where the hell Lucie and inspector Ethan must be, they must be gathering the evidence Paul constantly talked about.

I hope we all get out of this building safely...
