"We found him" Mike tells me through the phone

It's about damn time

"Where is Keller?" I ask leaning my back against the headboard of my bed

M: We tracked the vehicle positioned outside your school to an abandoned warehouse about an hour north of here.

L: Do you have the blueprints of the building?

M: Yes Ma'am, I'll send them to you now.

L: Thank you. I'm not in good enough shape to join you on this mission, but I will help you all with the plans of extraction. I want him alive, and I'll come to main headquarters once you have him.

M: Yes Ma'am. My team will arrive at the abandoned building at 0200 hours. If everything goes according to plan, we will arrive back at base around 0330 hours.

L: Understood. I want you all to be in the proper headspace for this mission. You all need to eat and rest to make sure everything goes smoothly. Clear?

M: Yes Ma'am.

L: I'll call you back once I've looked over the blueprints of the building Keller is staying in. Bye.

I hang up the phone, and swiftly look at the blueprints.

Four points of entry

Two stories

No basement.....That doesn't add up with the listed square footage

He's in the basement

As I'm about to call Mike back, I hear someone walking down the hall towards my room. I pull the knife out of my sleeve waiting for any sudden movements.

Luca's door opens and closes letting me release a breath of oxygen.

I need to go outside to make this call

I quickly put on a pair of slides and make my way to the backyard. Once outside, I sit on one of the couches near the fire pit. The sun is already setting. A cold wind flows through the hair filling my lungs.

Calling Mike back, I make sure to stay aware of my surroundings.

I don't need anyone listening in on this conversation
