You have fifteen minutes to get off the property, go now.

Addison read the message before shoving the phone back into her leggings, silently lifting the latch into the attic she was in, and slowly walking down the stairs. The lights were dim, only illuminating two stairs at a time as she rounded the stone walls, pressing her back against the damp walls as footsteps sounded in the hallway below. When she heard them retreat and the voices silence she covered the distance to the ground level, tennis shoes hitting marble. Addison knew she probably looked deranged, white hoodie stained with blood, her face covered in it from where she took a gun to the face, but she didn't have time to clean up, and she couldn't slow down now.

Remembered the map that Luella had given her just a few days ago, she turned left, away from the center of the house and towards the side exit.

Pulling the gun out of the waistband of her leggings, Addison pushed the safety down, keeping the barrel pointed to the floor. She knew there would be one guard that kept post at this door, when she wasn't here it was to make sure that Luella and little Mila didn't exit the house, but now it was to make sure Addison didn't escape. A smile crawled across Addison's lips as she pressed up against the wall, Luella and Mila entered the side door and nodded at the guard before they passed Addison, both offering smiles. Mila's eyes lit up when she saw Addison, Luella pressing a kiss to Mila's temple whispering, "She's going to find your daddy Mimi, but we can't tell dedushka."

Mila nodded, hiding her face in her mother's shoulder as they turned the corner, leaving Addison alone with the guards back facing her. If she was going to get out of here and get home to Bucky, this was the time. If she was caught, Addison knew Vaughn would have no issue with ending her life. And she wasn't ready to go, she wanted to see her niece or nephew, she wanted to be there for Rebecca's wedding, and she wanted to have a family of her own. But truthfully, she wanted to be home with Bucky, she wanted to hear how much he missed her, how much he loved her. She wanted the safety of his arms, she wanted her brothers, she wanted to be home.

Taking a deep breath, Addison pushed off the wall, walking up behind the guard, her footfalls silent against his loud boots against the marble floor. She brought one of her feet up, kicking out the back of his knees, pushing the gun between his shoulder blades when he hit the floor and pulled the trigger. The gunshot was loud in the silent hallway. Leaning down, Addison reached around his body, pulling out the buzzer they used to call for help, and rushed to the door, she had to open the door, push the button and throw it down to get everyone in one area. Once all the guards were inside, passing her where she would be hiding, she could take the keys to one of their cars off their belts, and get to the docks quickly.

As soon as the crisp winter air hit Addison's face when she opened the door, she pushed the buzzer, tossing it on the man's back before slinking out into the night and pressing against the wall. The shadows hid her well enough for her to push the safety of the gun back up and carefully tuck it into the back of her leggings, leaning against the black brick wall. This is when her childhood would come in handy, years of having to pickpocket random New Yorkers in order to have food would be the sole reason she was able to get out of this place and go home. Addison's breath halted as she heard the heavy footfalls of the guards rushing to where the one she injured was laying face down in a pool of his own blood.

Blinking quickly to adjust to the darkness, Addison watched as fifteen men rushed towards the point of distress, and only when one man got close enough did she reach her hand out, wrapping her fingers around the keys, and as she let the man enter, she pulled them free, looking over her shoulder to make sure he didn't notice. Everyone was preoccupied, they were rushing through the house to make sure that Luella and Mila weren't hurt, rushing to aid their fallen comrade, and rushing up to her room to make sure that she was there.
