Hide And Seek ( Alex Goot Elle Fowler Sam Tsui )

Chapter 25

Alex woke up, before realising that no one else was in the tunnel. He figured that maybe the four of them had left for a hunt or something. Alex knew that he was too injured to actually be of any help, so it only made sense if they left him behind.

Stretching his back, Alex got to his feet, checking the post-it on the wall. Whenever they left with only one person remaining, there was always a note. It tells them where they were headed, and what time they ought to be back. Alex looked at the swirly handwriting.

Alex you little sleepy head,

We wanted to wake you up, but thought better of it. While me and Chrissy were out killing some drug dealer, he tipped us off that George and Odin might be moving into our area tomorrow. We have to check it out.

The time now is six in the morning. By six in the evening, if the four of us had not reported back it means that the worst might have occured.

But don't worry. We have gone out so many times before. We'll be fine.

Alex was slightly worried, upon knowing that they wanted to check up on George and Odin themselves. Odin was a dangerous man, Kurt had checked up on his profile once and it had been full of horrid achievements. Like how he won army award after army award.

He looked at the tiny skylight up above, shining down on him. The time probably estimated to around two in the afternoon. Alex sighed, pulling Pinecone close into his arms. Four hours. What should he do?

Alex found the stack of post-its on Chrissy's sleeping bag. Digging in her bag, he found a pencil of hers. He knew that he would probably be back before they returned, but it was better not to make them worry.

Dear all four of you,

Alex here. Just wanted to say I'm going to Sam's gambling den to help out since he's out. Come and look for me when you guys are back.

With that, he stuck it over their post-it, grabbing a gun, a knife and a grenade before throwing a jacket around himself. Alex somehow had a ominous feeling about his friends going to look for George and Odin.

Like it was in his stomach, telling him that something was wrong. But Alex did not dare think any further than that. He could only pray that all four would come back safe and sound.

Petting Pinecone's head, Alex sliced off a bit of fish for it before going out.

Elle brought her hand up to her mouth, bringing it away with blood on her fingers. She felt sick, and extremely weak.

Tilting her head towards the sky, she realised that it was only three in the afternoon. The Assassins were busted really bad right now, but Alex would not worry until it was six in the evening.

Elle forced her legs forward. They felt numb from the shock. Turning around, she saw nobody behind her. The other Assassins might have been captured by the British.

She had to get out of here quick, before they released that she had escaped and got the dogs on her. Elle wanted to cry, but held the tears in.

The Assassins had accidentally tripped a wire, which had alerted the British. They had been attempting to find a way to enter, and get as close as possible to Odin and George. There was a loud alarm, and soldiers seem to have come from everywhere.
