The Secret Heels

Chapter 3

Chapter Three

Five rooms, five girls, and five frustrated FBI Agents. They had been grilling the girls for hours and none of them had said a word. Except they had all asked for a cup of water every hour on the dot. That was strange considering there was no clock in any of the interrogation rooms.
Agents Polizzi, Lappin, Cory, Lane, and Struck were at a loss. They had the evidence against the five girls, but nothing that will put them away longer than three years and they would be out in a year. All the FBI could prove was that they were at least accomplices to whoever was pulling the heists off. These five agents knew it was them though, it had to be.
Before going back into the rooms the agents decided that when they asked for water then they would deny them the water. The plan backfired when the time came though. As they had done for many hours before, all five girls asked for a cup of water exactly an hour after the last cup. When the agents denied, the girls all sighed and whispered in a soft voice. The agents leaned in close to hear them and they were startled when the girls quickly snapped their heads up and slapped the agent that stood in front of them.
Hannah, Eve, Eva, Lisa, and Sasha were charged with assaulting an FBI Agent and being an accomplice in multiple heists. They were transported into the local jail while awaiting their arraignment hearings.
Extra security was placed in the wings were the five criminal girls waited. It was clear these girls were clever and nobody wanted to be responsible for any of them escaping.
At exactly midnight there was a change in security and that's when the power went out. Hannah had always been scared of something like this happening due to watching too many mob and gang shows. The others acted quickly in getting out and once they met up they went to find Hannah and get out of there.
When all five girls were at least an hour from the prison they spoke their first words to each other. "What are we going to do?"
The girls hid out in an abandoned house for a few days before Sasha and Lisa decided that they needed to decide where they were going next.
Going home was out of the question and they couldn't stay in Italy much longer before they would be found by police. The problem was that none of them could agree. Hannah wanted to go to Germany and Eve wanted to go to Japan, but Eva wanted to go to Hawaii and Lisa wanted to go to Paris and Sasha wanted to return to the place her parents grew up in Australia.
The girls had given up for the day and went to sleep for the night taking turns staying awake. Hannah was up first and Lisa would switch with her at two in the morning and two hours after that Sasha would take over.
Hannah's shift went mostly smoothly. She was a nervous wreck and kept checking out the smallest noises but in her mind it was better safe than sorry. At two she gladly went to sleep as Lisa sat on the windowsill looking outside.
Around three o'clock Lisa heard what sounded like a clicking noise coming from down the hall. She grabbed a crowbar from nearby and carefully walked down the hall. She wrinkled her nose at the smells of the warehouse and the stains that resembled blood. After checking out all the rooms and jumping at her own shadow twice Lisa went back to where everyone was sleeping and relaxing against the wall. She heard footsteps and smiled in relief "What's up E-" Lisa fell to the ground as a girl she considered her best friend shoved a knife deep into her stomach. Right before everything completely disappeared, Lisa heard what her killer whispered "One down, three to go"
At four, Sasha woke up and turned her alarm off. At that moment she was wishing that she would've volunteered for the first shift. She threw her sweater on over her sports bra and walked over to the windowsill where they had made the guard post. She immediately knew something was wrong when she saw that the windowsill was empty. "Lisa?" Sasha called out. Hannah was the first to wake up from Sasha calling for Lisa and then it was Eve and Eva.
They turned the corner into another room and gasped at the sight before them. Lisa was on the ground covered in blood with a bright yellow heel on top of her stomach. Sasha couldn't even look at her. Who could've done this to Lisa and why were none of them dead?

The girls immediately packed their bags and left the warehouse. They knew it wouldn't be safe to travel together anymore so they decided to go separate ways for the time being until it's safe. They give each other a hugs and all of them had tears building in their eyes "Do you guys promise that we'll find each other some day?" Hannah asked as the tears spilled onto her face. Eva gave her a hug and when she pulled away she addressed all the girls "Come hell or high water we will be together again. All of us."
