At Kevin's Mercy 2: Reclaimed

18. Escape part 2

With a sigh I closed the door.
Isabelle insisted she at least showed me to the room that dick had prepared for me before she would look for Jasmine.
Her reasoning was simple, she knew me longer and in case I did something stupid she could at least tell dear old dad with a straight face she did her part.

The room wasn't too bad, it wasn't as big as my old room but I never liked that big useless space anyway.
The only thing missing was my sweet girl, that would have made the room perfect.
But I knew where or at least with who she was right now, the only thing left is getting there unnoticed.
Getting inside this house was easy, they knew I was coming and let me pass with no trouble.
But I also know my old man may have given them instructions on not letting me leave, so I doubt that will go as smooth.

Around 10 minutes later I figured I waited long enough for Izzy to be gone and opened the door again.
Just as I thought, that dick instructed a guard to be at my door as a precaution.

"Sir, can I help you?"

He was polite about it, but the "Why the fuck can't you just stay in your room" was written all over his annoyed face.

"No thanks."

It was worth a shot trying to bluff my way past him, though I already knew that wasn't going to work given the circumstances of my stay here.
My response did however throw him off a bit.
I guess he was recently hired by my father and only dealt with that wimp of a brother of mine, as I saw his eyes widen in a mixture of surprise and anger.
He was visibly contemplating whether he should stay polite or force me back inside.
But he didn't make a move to grab me, instead he started following me.
I'm about the same height as this guy and from what I can tell from his physic we are probably evenly matched in strength.
If it got to a fight it would come down to experience, a thing I lack, but he doesn't need to know that.
At least my bluff is working enough to make him think twice about taking me on.

"Is there a reason you're following me?"

I snapped while glaring back at him, keeping up with my bluff pretend of being stronger than him.
A bit cautious the guy cleared his throat.

"Your father insisted I stayed by your side in case you needed something."

Clearly my silent glare made him more and more uncomfortable by the second it lasted.
A talent I seem to share with my father, that man can make even me nervous.
Well... at least they don't think I'm a pushover, unlike that jackass who thinks he can manipulate me into doing his bidding.

"Get lost. If I want something I get it myself."

Just loud enough for him to hear I continued my complains, because I knew he was going to follow me anyhow.
My father still holds the highest authority here and I doubt he want's to face his wraith.

"Annoying prick thinking I need help. Another way for that asshole to insult me."

I need to lose this clown somehow before anyone, that old goat particularly, figures out they lost the only thing that was going to keep me here.
Knowing Felix has her is both a blessing and a curse.
I wonder how he was able to find her and if they are already somewhere safe.
A quick glance at my watch didn't make me any wiser.
Felix hasn't send any other messages besides the last one.
Getting out of here isn't going to be the only problem...
What if she tells Felix about how we got together?
The more time those two are alone the more can go wrong.
I could lose more than her.

Slowly, not to arouse suspicion, I had increased my walking pace.
I could hear the steps behind me go faster too.
Perfect, I smirked, this is going as planned so far.
Suddenly I skipped into the cross hall we were passing and turned to land my fist against the hapless guard's jaw.
Besides a dull thud of him colliding with the wall next to him there was no sound.
I got him completely off guard, as he was too eager to keep up with me.
Seeing the poor guy out cold on the floor it pains me to admit my dad did at least one thing right in his wretched life.
