Chasing Dawn : Tick-tock

The woman in spades

"Everything is a risk. Not doing anything is a risk. It's up to you."

― Nicola Yoon.

in the warehouse.

Joanna's POV:

I sat down in darkness.

It was dark already and Derren still haven't came.

Silence.

It was so loud.

I began to think that something was wrong.

My hands tried move around, hoping that it would loosen up the rope.

To my surprise it loosen up quickly.

Nicole had taken all of my gear.

She just left my phone, so that I can listen to a voice recording she recorded.

"Nicole, if you knew anything about me, you'd know that everything I have is a weapon."

I muttered to myself.

My finger pressed a button on my phone.

It quickly turned into a knife.

It was small, but it's still better than nothing.

I ran outside to see where am I.

It was cold.

Just as I started to exit that warehouse.

A bright light appeared in front of me.

It took a shape of a spade.

I took out my knife.

Pointed it out to the light.

I thought it was Nicole.

There was something coming out of the light.

A person.

She was wearing a black dress with spades carved on it.

She stepped out.

"Well damn, he was right."

"You are resilient. "

She said.

I didn't know who she was.

But it felt like she knows who I am.

"Who the hell are you?"

I asked, pointing the knife at her.

"You don't know me."

"But your going to."

"Well, maybe."

"For now you can call me Coin."

" Don't worry, I'm not your enemy."

She said.

" Yeah, sorry. I don't believe that."

" This mission is a whole new level of crazy."

I said to her.

" I need that."

She said pointing at my knife.

" Like hell I'm going to give you my only weapon."

I said.

" No, idiot."

" I need the voice recording."

She said.

" Nicole's recording?"
